Nintendo details Kirby super Star Ultra for Nintendo DS photo

It took them awhile to get around to announcing it in English, but Nintendo has finally revealed Kirby Super Star Ultra for the Nintendo DS.

A remake of the popular Super Nintendo game Kirby Super Star, Ultra re-imagines the title with new graphics and fully-rendered animated cut scenes. The original title boasted "8 games in one," like "The Great Cave Offensive" and "Revenge of Meta Knight," each of which stayed close to Kirby's platforming roots. The DS title will features new modes ("Revenge of the King" and "Meta Knight Ultra"), as well as three new touch-screen multiplayer mini-games that can be shared via DS download play. 

Kirby Super Star Ultra hits shelves on September 29, 2008.

Its been a long times since I played a good Kirby game. The NES one was probably the last I could recall, and it was a blast.

Was the SNES game good or is it just a bunch of mini games?

My interest in Kirby games is very fickle. I just want a platforming 2D game involving me killing baddies with new abilities to steal. A lot of Kirby games just look like complete nonsense though. Am I wrong?

Damn it, Nintendo...make a Canvas Curse sequel already. One of the most innovative games in recent memory can't even get a sequel.

Canvas Curse was an amazing use of the DS touch screen. I had sold my DS because I was getting bored with its software, and then had to buy another one after playing it. Put me down for another Canvas Curse, too.

I am crying right now, I am not kidding.

Kirby Super Star is among the top three side-scrollers/platformers ever made, I swear to god. KSS is everything Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Sub-Space Emissary wanted to be in terms of game design, and KSS itself was the prototype and outright forerunner to Super Smash Bros.--just take a look around online and you'll see startling revelations as to just how much SSB took from Super Star.

If you like enjoy video games in any way, you must give Kirby Super Star a try; there really isn't any other way for me to put it.

OOooooooo...I can't wait to be able to play Revenge of Meta-Knight again. I have the original cart, but the stupid save games keep getting reset periodically, so I had to keep unlocking it.

Nice to see a remake of one of the best Kirby games- especially considering the price for the original usually hovered ~$60 on original release, and has only gone up now.

What, no one was a fan of Kirby: Air Ride? I loved that game...

Well, I want this, but most of the fun was playing it with another person... handhelds suck for that.
