E308 Media | Kirby's A DS Superstar

By Mike Mason 15.07.2008 8

Kirby Superstar Ultra was announced at last year's E3 for Nintendo DS, but now we've got a bit more information and some darling screenshots for you as well.

As was confirmed last year, it's an enhanced port of the SNES' wonderific Kirby Superstar, featuring all the game modes from that release with "fully rendered movie scenes" and visuals so smart that Kirby could have ran his Power Paintbrush over them himself. There are also some obligatory touch screen mini-games that can be played with friends either via single card download play or multicard play.

In case you missed out on Superstar the first time around, unlucky for you. Rather than a straight up adventure, Kirby Superstar incorporates a number of different games in one; some traditional Kirby adventures, others more like mini-games.

You can see some the new screens in our album below. Kirby Superstar Ultra releases in the US of A on September 22nd 2008 on Nintendo DS.

Looks like the Halberd is keeping it's Brawl design! Finally some slightly good game news. This is one I'll be buying. Never got Superstar first time round.

I guess they couldn't call it Super Superstars.

These aren't the kind of bolted on crappy mini-games though. Everything about Kirby Superstar is quality, easily one of the best games on SNES IMO.

Not called ultrastar? =/
Still one of the best kirby games Smilie
awesome can't wait.

Avoid Games Like the Plague, productivity++
