Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition has already been ruled out for Australia. It’s possible that the package won’t be heading to the UK either.

You may have noticed that Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition was missing from NOE’s Nintendo Direct presentation. When asked about the game, a spokesperson said that Nintendo UK had “nothing to announce at this time”.

Six games, a Museum Mode, artbook, soundtrack, and more are included in Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition. The package is due out next month in Japan and September in North America.

Unlike the North American and Japanese announcement, the 3DS XL reveal for the UK didn’t include a specific price point. That’s because retailers will be determining their own prices, much like the original 3DS.

According to a Nintendo representative, prices “should be going live ASAP”.

The spokesperson said:

“As always, the final price to consumers is determined by the retailers, but we have aimed at making the price as reasonable as we can to the consumer.”

The 3DS XL launches in Europe and Japan on July 28.
