System: Switch
Release Date: February 24, 2023
Developer: HAL Laboratory
Publisher: Nintendo
The original Wii launch of Kirby’s Return to Dream Land has always felt like a particularly important game for the franchise; at the time it released, it had been in development in some form for over a decade, after multiple attempts at creating a new mainline Kirby game never reached fruition. That’s a big part of the reason why Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe, a remaster of the 2011 original, feels like such a fitting way to wrap up the pink puffball’s 30th anniversary celebrations – it’s a testament to just how much the franchise has grown and evolved since then. But how well does this classic Kirby game hold up after all these years, and is the new content added into this remaster strong enough to justify a full-price rerelease?

Nintendo games have been represented at GDC over the years with a few developer panels, and we’ll be seeing this again in 2023 as part of a session dedicated to Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Shinya Kumazaki and Tatsuya Kamiyama will both be in attendance. During the session, the two will be “discussing Kirby and the Forgotten Land one year after its release – looking at how they brought traditional Kirby gameplay into a 3D world, as well as examining some of the new features in the game, including the fan-favorite Mouthful Mode.” The event “is for any game developers interested in the history and legacy of one of the cutest (and most adaptable!) characters in video game history, as well as where Kirby and their series are headed in the future.”
