Our favorite plump pink puffball is making another return to Dream Land — this time on the Nintendo Switch.
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe ($59.99) is an upcoming remake of the side-scrolling platformer that originally launched on the Wii console back in 2011, setting the Kirbster and his friends off on a quest to collect lost ship parts after an alien crash-lands on Planet Popstar. Though it doesn’t come out until Feb. 24, 2023, preorders were live at Amazon(opens in a new tab), Best Buy(opens in a new tab), GameStop(opens in a new tab), Target(opens in a new tab), and in the My Nintendo Store(opens in a new tab) at the time of writing.
Dream Land Deluxe gameplay will involve Kirby’s classic Copying Abilities, including a new Mecha Copy Ability that arms him with a laser beam (!), and support up to four players at once. Some fine print: It’s not online multiplayer, so you’ll each be playing on a single Switch system with separate Joy-Cons(opens in a new tab).
If you need a break from slurping and sword-fighting enemies, you and your crew can duke it out in a series of subgames — “Samurai Kirby” makes an appearance again alongside new ones like “Magolor’s Tome Trackers.”
