Kirby Super Star is getting remade for the DS photo

JeuxFrance, I site that I'm never sure if I'm pronouncing right, has brought to light that one of the best Kirby games ever made is being remade for the Nintendo DS. Not much is really known at the moment other than the few screens that were released, and the expected release date being sometime in 2008.

The screen shots do show that new CGI movies are being made for cut scenes and we do see that games Dynablade, Revenge of Meta Knight, The Great Cave Offensive and Gourmet Race are at least coming back. No reason to think that HAL would take out any of the games (if anything, they should add more games) but at least we have some idea what's going to make a return. As long as Megaton Punch is back, I'll be a happy boy. 

Check out JeuxFrance for a few more screenshots

Now then, which one is the better name? The American title Kirby Super Star or the Japanese title of Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe?  

[Thanks, Justin!]

The Japanese name sounds unnecessarily redundant. But that's part of the charm I suppose.

I really hope that, if there's a Wii Kirby game, they use the concept of giving up your power to gain a partner

this is one of those games that should be on the Wii VC, but never will, because people are getting a good bang for $8. Same with Mario All-Stars. We'll never see those, cause Nintendo can't break it up and get good monies.

Doesn't look like much of a remake, they could've redrawn the graphics, but it's still a damn good game.

CG? GTFO. I already have my SNES cart. Kirby Super Star is the best one ever though, so it can't be worse. I hope.

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I HAVE HEARD IN MY ENTIRE FUCKING LIFE, and it solidifies the fact (not opinion) that the DS is the best system ever

I only ever got to play the original at my friends house, and it was awesome. Definitely picking this up.

So, I'm betting they release the original on VC to coincide with the game?

I'm really hoping they add more stuff to this remake. Like, perhaps, a true sequel to The Revenge of MetaKnight.. other than that, I'm pumped for this and would honestly rather play this on my DS than on VC (always wanted it on the road--and PSP does a crappy emulation of SuperStar)
