For those who are not familiar with Kirby Super Star Ultra, the game is a remake of the classic SuperNES title Kirby Super Star.
The SuperNES title was ahead of its time by focusing on mini-games, a recent trend in modern gaming. The title contained 6 platforming adventures and 3 non-platforming mini-games.
Kirby Super Star Ultra improves on this formula by adding additional minigames, CGI movies to reward players for completing objectives, and completely revamped graphics to take advantage of the Nintendo DS's superior graphical capabilities.
Nintendo has also added an additional 5 games, bringing the total number of platforming adventures and minigames up to 14 games!
The new games are as follows:
Revenge of the King - A new platforming adventure
Meta Knight Ultra - A new adventure game where you take control of Meta Knight using the DS's touch screen interface.
Kirby Card Swipe - Pit yourself against your friends in a WiFi duel for supremacy! Swipe three cards before your opponents, least you suffer defeat at the hands of superior card-swiping skills! The game plays out like a competitive game of Memory, except that the computer reveals a card at random. You must be the first to find the match to score.
Kirby on the Draw - A multiplayer shooting gallary that's sure to please. No memory work is involved in this game. Simply use your stylus to shoot the targets as they appear. Reload by tapping the bottom of the screen.
Snack Tracks - This minigame puts Kirby's eating ability to the test! Kirby and his pals are at the end of a conveyor belt with food coming toward them. Kirby will eat anything that comes his way, so it's your job to keep your belt free from bugs and rocks.
As with many Nintendo DS games, you can use one DS game card to temporarily download games to the DS units of your friends. You can then square off in a multiplayer battle of up to four players!
As with previous Kirby games, this title is colorful, lighthearted, gradually builds up the challenge, and is suitable for all ages. Expect Kirby Super Star Ultra to hit store shelves on September 22.
