Two years later, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is a fantastic remake
Posted on 2 weeks ago by Ethan in Features, Switch | 0 comments
Believe it or not, it’s been an entire two years since the last Kirby game. Nintendo has forgotten about Kirby. Jokes aside, the pink puffball had an incredibly productive 2022. Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the first true 3D platformer in the series, was released to critical acclaim. Later that year, we got the less-critically-acclaimed Kirby’s Dream Buffet, and then only a couple months later we get Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe. That’s a huge number of Kirby games in less than a year, though they were all clearly created by different development teams. Whereas Kirby and the Forgotten was a huge step in a new direction for the series, Return to Dream Land Deluxe didn’t need to be. We know there will be another 3D Kirby game in the hopefully not-too-distant future, and Return to Dream Land Deluxe served as a return to the franchise’s roots for those introduced to Kirby via Forgotten Land. Indeed, Kirby and the Forgotten Land sits on top as the best-selling Kirby game in the franchise at around seven million units sold.
Pokemon Day 2025 predictions

With Pokemon Day 2025 approaching, we’ve got some predictions for the big event.
Pokemon Day just around the corner, and every time February 27 comes around there’s always a Pokemon Presents to go with it. Last year’s presentation revealed the existence of Pokemon Legends: Z-A, details on Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Raid events, and updates on The Pokemon Company’s other ongoing games. While the 2025 Pokemon Presents will probably be more of that (minus Scarlet and Violet, most likely), it’s a good time to toss out some predictions before the Pokemon hype cycle begins.
