Review Kirby Super Star (Wii U eShop / SNES)
Dedede-lightful
Kirby Super Star is a smorgasbord of creativity, as if the developers at HAL Laboratory had a game jam for two weeks straight and came out on the other side with a beautifully disheveled collection of Kirby’s best. Nine sub-games, ranging from one-button tests of reflex to multi-hour adventures, are stuffed onto the SNES with no...
Review Kirby Super Star (Wii Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Suck on this!

Poll Box Art Brawl - Kirby Super Star
Deep breath
Welcome back to this week's edition of Box Art Brawl! Before we check out the latest clash of the covers, let's remind ourselves what happened last time when three Super Bomberman box art variants went up against each other. It was Europe's bright design that walked away with a commanding lead in this one, taking 58% of the vote. Japan...
Random Fans Make Kirby Card Game Featuring Chef Kawasaki In A Micro Bikini
But it has now been removed from sale
We never really expected to write about anything like this, but Automaton Media has reported on a rather unusual fan-made Kirby card game. That seems relatively harmless on its own — despite the fact that it's a card game featuring Kirby, a pretty huge Nintendo property, that was being sold on the Japanese...
News Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES Service With Three More SP Titles
A celebration of Kirby
Nintendo has added not one, not two, but three more Kirby games to its Switch Online Super Nintendo service. The catch is they're technically existing releases but are the 'SP' versions. They include Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby's Dream Course. This also bumps the Switch Online SNES application to Version...

The 64th Annual Grammy Awards took place in Las Vegas last night and it was a big one for Kirby fans (we honestly never thought we'd say such words).

News Nintendo Expands The Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Six Classic Games
Arriving next week
Well, what a surprise. The day after Nintendo told us to try out F-Zero and other classic SNES games, it has now announced it will be adding six – yes, six – games to the Switch Online service on 12th December. Four are for the SNES app and the other two are for the NES app. Arguably the most exciting of the lot is Star Fox 2
News Masahiro Sakurai Goes Into Absorbing Detail on the Development of Kirby Super Star
Learn from the best
Over the past few weeks Nintendo has been publishing interviews with key developers of various SNES titles to coincide with the recent release of the SNES Mini and, bringing this fascinating series to a close, a sixth interview has been released to talk about Kirby Super Star. The interview is held with Masahiro Sakurai, creator...
Developer Profile Masahiro Sakurai
About the man behind two of Nintendo’s most significant franchises
"I decide what goes in the game; nobody else." These were the words of Masahiro Sakurai during a 2008 interview with Official Nintendo Magazine about Super Smash. Bros. Brawl. It's a quote that stands out because it contrasts quite starkly with the modest way in which the man...
About The Game
That awful King Dedede is at it again – he's stolen all the food in Dream Land.
It's up to Kirb to get it back and ultimately save Pop Star from being overtaken. In what may be the most diverse adventure yet for the round, pink hero, Kirby journeys through six main games and two minigames, finishing with the ultimate showdown in The Arena. Each game offers its own story and style of platforming action, as well as unique environments and an assortment of enemies.
Swallowing an enemy allows Kirby to copy the abilities of that enemy, granting him the power to perform special attacks and giving him a new hat to don. In a strategic twist, Kirby can now give up an acquired ability and use it to turn an enemy into a helper. The helper will follow Kirby around and automatically fight as his ally or offer a second player the chance to join in the game by controlling it.
There's never a dull moment as Kirby dashes, flies and swallows enemies in his battle against King Dedede, Dyna Blade and Meta Knight.

I wonder how long it takes for this to come out of Japan... Instant download when it comes over here. I don't really want the expensive DS version. I've already finished it years ago.
I would've have downloaded this If I haven't played through KSSU, but I guess some people get it both on VC and on DS, so they can play it on TV old-school style and on the road.
My second favorite Kirby game of all time. I still remember the first time I had played it during Hurricane Rita back in 2005. Unfortunately, I was seduced by the highly addicting Kirby's Dream Course, so I played the latter more. But as the years went by, I started to like KSS for the DS more than KDC. Great game, and a total surprise when I heard it was coming to the VC!
I hope we get this sometime soon
woooowww, incredible
i think its the best kirby game ever, with kirby's adventure of course
i hope it wont take too long once its in japan to get to europe and america
ps. nice to see a remake still seeing VC
maybe next will be chrono trigger, who knows....
I cannot wait for this game NA Virtual Console release.
well, if gb,gbc and gba would get on wii's VC, i'd say: i'll wait for more kirby games, but there arent that many kirby games.... not different ones,and real ones, so that kirby actually gets powers and jumps and stuff, not rolling or in pinball (although kirby's pinball looks fun)
thx alot nintendo
Too bad. I bought Ultra this year.
I have Ultra. I'd dish out Wii points to download the original, too. Just comes to show how much I like the game.
lol Nintendo is so stupid
Kirby Super Star Ultra 50 bucks
Kirby Super Star on the VC 8 bucks
Hmmmm.....>_>
Along w/ SSB....
This game should come out in America as well!
I don't think Ultra's 50 bucks. More like 30 or 35. On second thought maybe I will get this version. I've always prefered playing games on TVs anyway. Anybody think the SNES version is better than Ultra?
@Kevin: I agree, it's not worth shelling out $35 for a remake when we could wait for it's VC release and pay just $8.
I don't buy remakes for a reason. I really want to be a true supporter of the Virtual Console and buying remakes don't count.
@10: its not that they are stupid, enough people who like DS so much, they dont play wii much
i think they do this either cuz the remake dont sell that good anymore, or they have enough people who bought it and still buy it, so they give us this one too
also, dont forget its not in EU or NA yet, so they might wait till it dont sell that good anymore, cuz enough people who want it as soon as they can
and i think the remake has some more stuff on it ( i dont own it )
well, since i dont play DS or any other handhelds, this will be very good news, and i cant wait now
It would be nice if someone were to put up a video about this game.
To be honest I only bought Ultra because wasn't this game's rating removed off ESRB with Zombies and the earlier announced games that never got released or am I thinking of another Kirby game?
Wonder how long it'll take NOA to release this one. They already owe us some games.
Of course you can have my points for this one, Nintendo. As long as you list it...
I wonder when/if it's coming?
the best kirby game ever... i want this NOW
i have kirby's adventure and kirby's dreamland 3 now, its time for this one once its on the europe VC
i've been thinking about it, and i think this is my nr1 kirby game, and kirby's adventure will be nr 2 kirby game
i cant wait much longer
@cheetahman91: We'll be waiting until next year.
Looks like we have a contender for game #350.
This is my guess for the 350 VC game which should be out around early March
wait, did i say i only have Kirby's dreamland 3 and kirby's adventure?
i also have kirby 64
yea, maybe this will be #350, what number are we on atm anyway?
i hope it comes together with super mario kart, but i think they only do 1 good game each VC update
349 before the last list? bummer, i dont like those games
i'll have to wait for this longer then.... sigh
it seems it wasnt nr 349
anyway, i got SMK now, and this'll be the next i'll buy for sure (or keeping points for it, as i still have a 2000 point card)
come on nintendo
I hope it comes to Europe this week. Or at least soon.
I guess this means we'll finally be getting Chrono Trigger for VC this year; two years after the DS release.
VC= EPIC WIN!
Yay, Kirby! I am so gonna download this when I get home from college! I just got out of final exam, and this news really brightened up my day!
Finally, we get a
goodgreatawesome game that we can all appreciate. But still, Nintendo, please do us this favor and supply us with games more often!!!Next on my wish list: Yoshi's Island
One of the Best Games I played on the SNES
too bad I got the DS remake last year,cuz I would so Got this.
But the one on the DS is still Fun, I play the Hell out of it.
gz NA, now waiting for EU to get it, and then its : download, download done, play !
hope this will be the next game for EU
I loved this game when I used to play when I was 10 years old. This games is great and fun too it makes laugh, scream and use curz words. The reasons are when Kirby uses the mike ability 3 times and the enemies crash and this also happens when kirby uses the crash ability. When Kirby gets attack, fall down and Kirby gets up shock I use curze words. Also when Kirby grabs a foe on the fighter ability, he throws it the enemy is turn up, this is my favorite one. I scream and laugh when he does that I go "A-HA!"
i got it, it as good as ever
i practiced the spring breeze part to warm up, and now going for dynablade
after that i'll try and do the treasure one
I can speedrun Spring Breeze in under five minutes.
I gotta get me this! Even though I already have the DS version
Theres A Secret Copy Ability:D
Of course there is! Paint Kirby!
@Dragoon Me, I have the SNES version on Wii's Virtual Console.
Can anyone post a list of The Great Cave Offensive treasure chest items from the highest price to the lowest price?
