You'd think for all his years of good service, Kirby would deserve a shout-out during the Nintendo E3 2008 keynote -- at least a spot in a video montage. But no, Kirb got the shaft, and if you weren't already keeping tabs on the pink puff, you'd have no idea Nintendo was releasing a (somewhat) new Kirby title for DS -- one of only five first party DS games scheduled for release during the remainder of the year. Exploring Nintendo's E3 press site, we've discovered confirmation that Kirby Super Star Ultra (a remake of the ultraless SNES game) is still on track for a September 22 release.
Super Star Ultra will feature all of the original game's modes, plus "new adventures," including three, touch-controlled minigames (Kirby Card Swipe, Kirby on the Draw and Snack Tracks) that support up to 4 players via DS Download Play. With multiple cartridges, two players can play the adventure mode, with one assuming the roles of "Helpers," clones of Kirby's foes created with a new ability.

I don't know what you are talking about. Kirby is cooler than ice. This game will be awesome.

I loved the original Super Star, but I'll wait and see if the DS version is enough of an improvement to warrant getting it...

Fenix, STFU. We get it, Kirby isn't a space marine, so you cant buy this game. We know the 360Fanboy Code of Conduct.

I'm glad this is getting a release, as I never owned a Super Nintendo and missed out this, but I would have preferred a VC release. I really don't want to go on another whine about the VC, so I won't. Let's just say if this game would have renewed my interest in that service.

One of my earlier, fonder child-hood memories takes me back to a time when I beat Kirby's Dreamland. Man, good times.

Cool, Kirby's Super Star was wicked fun alone. I'm curious to see how much better it is with friends. And if I was 15 again, I might actually consider playing it.

Awesome! Between this and Wario Land Shake, I'm not completely giving up on Nintendo yet.

I loved this game, I played all the way through it again not too long ago. I wish it was a sequel instead of a remake :(

So this isn't going to be like Canvas Curse? That had one of the greatest interfaces. Shoot.

Gasp! They're making a US Kirby box without an angry Kirby on it!
I guess NOA finally remembered that Kirby's forte is being cute, not being tough.

Microsofts LIPS trailer forebearer to my feelings about this
i did before and had my share
it didn't lead nowhere
i would go along with someone like you
it doesn't matter what you did
who you were hanging with
we could stick around and see this night through
and we don't care about the young folks
talkin' 'bout the young style
