Kirby Super Star coming to DS

Before mini-game compilations were crazy ubiquitous, there was Kirby Super Star. Released at the tail-end of the SNES's lifetime, Super Star advertised "8 Games In One!", one of which being a graphically enhanced version of the Game Boy original, and four more being full-fledged platformers in their own right.Now, HAL Laboratories are bringing the Kirby party to the DS, with a remake of the SNES classic tentatively called Hoshi no Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe. No details yet on any additional features, but our buddies over at DS Fanboy have aptly observed that a wireless icon in one of the screens means that the game will at least have local wireless play, and additional screenshots show cutscenes in the same style as HAL's fighting phenomenon Super Smash Bros. Brawl. More details as they become available. For now, though, color us excited.
Update: Additional screens found at Jeux France show that this game is a remake, and not a true sequel. Thanks to reader Sonicandtails for the tip.

It looks pretty Cool, i think i have more FUN with these games than any other really big games that have the title NEXT GEN right next to them... Games are suppose to be FUN and NOT about being Realistic although its not bad but it shouldn't be just that... Graphics... I'll be buying this when it comes out... Oh, yeah... oh, i almost forgot everytime i read some of this posts i noticed that instead of focusing on the TOPIC everybody tends to go in a different direction and everytime i post something related to the TOPIC it just gets OVERLOOKED but if it were something retarded it would get more ATTENTION than the SLUTTY GIRL that gets drunk at any PARTY... Therefore, (just for that purpose here i go)... Nintendo makes only kiddie games and that are not FUN... (winked)... Let the Comments Begin...

This is awesome. Now, if only Dedede was in Brawl, life would be perfect.

Well, he is. Check Smashbros.com!

Haha yeah, I know! Life is now perfect. ^^

Please update this post. After looking further at the menu screens and levels shown, this is nothing more then a rerelease of Kirby Super Star.

Proof with a menu screen to boot. All the same levels/minigames are there.

Oh brilliant, I never played the SNES original so I'll be getting this!
I'd love a sequel to Power Paintbrush too.
Sonicandtails @ Oct 11th 2007 6:44AM
Haha, DeDeDe in brawl would be neat.

Finally, a rerelease of the greatest Kirby game of all time, on a console it suits! :) Though a VC release would've perhaps been nicer (what with the reduced cost and the wonderful Classic Controller).

But then how will you take it with you on those cross-country road trips?
Pom @ Oct 11th 2007 2:38PM
That's the very reason why I am happy that it's on DS after all :)

Nintendo vient d'annoncer le développement sur Nintendo DS de Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe, le REMAKE amélioré du titre sorti en 1995 sur Super Nintendo. Pour l'occasion, voici les premières images de Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe.
I can't read French, so the only words I got out of there were:
Nintendo Nintendo DS Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe REMAKE 1995 Super Nintendo Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe.
(Disclaimer: I recognized the cognets, but them left them out on purpose.)

wheeeee!! i loved this game when i was a kid. i think i remember there being an "arena" level where you fight boss after boss after boss, and not being able to finish it, thus not being able to complete the game 100%.

Kirby Superstar is one of the top 5 games of the 16 bit generation
Blanko4 @ Oct 11th 2007 8:36AM
The original was the best Kirby game ever so I can only hope the DS remake can live up to that.
Slaziman @ Oct 11th 2007 8:38AM
This was super awesome leet game, day one purchase

This was a mistake on Nintendo's part.
Why would I buy the VC version of KSS now that there's this?
Hopefully this will follow the footsteps of Metroid: Zero Mission and be much better than the original.

Nice move Nintendo!!!
Shmil @ Oct 11th 2007 10:44AM
may i be the first to say that this is the tits?
Anon @ Oct 11th 2007 12:23PM
Actually, this might have some new things. I can't count the number of times I've played through KSS...and I cannot recal seeing this anywhere.

Those cards are not familiar at all...nor are the 2 different colored metaknights! The regular one is upside down...the odd one is right side up with a much cooler cape. The witch boss also is not familiar, though it HAS been a while since I played (it might be the mirror power person...)
Diskmaster @ Oct 11th 2007 12:33PM
I believe that the one with the "razor"-styled sword is actually the mirror Metaknight from the [sic] Amazing Mirror game. The boss on the other hand doesn't look familiar to me.

DANGIT. I had been waiting for this to come out on VC, and now I highly doubt it will happen. Hopefully it still goes through because this is one of a handful of VC games I've been craving since the beginning.
Hopefully they also keep 2-player co-op intact, that was one of the best parts of this game.

I'm getting really tired of "crazy" being used as an adverb.
