whoever made the flawless victory samurai kirby mission is going straight to hell.

this game repeatedly consisted of putting the story mode on hold so i can go hit a bomb around with a frying pan for 2 hours


WHERE IS SCOPE SHOT

Avaliando como um remaster, esse jogo é muito interessante e bonito visualmente apesar de não ser sempre consistente sempre acaba divertido e mantendo atenção.
Spoiler
Toda sessão final do jogo é muito boa o mundo 7 e o último Boss em si é muito bem feito e interessante não é difícil mas é animado.
Enfim um bom jogo pra se divertir em um dia de fim de semana com amigos(mesmo que eu tenha jogado sozinha😢).
Dito isso ter leves problemas de performance no modo portátil é bem inaceitável apesar de pontual.

Return to Dreamland siempre me ha parecido el menos recordado de la época de Kumazaki, y aunque no recordaba en su momento como era el título, ahora al revisitarlo me da lastima porque está lejos de ser un título débil. Tiene uno de los mejores jefes finales de toda la franquicia, al nivel de Marx incluso (La canción de la forma final, CROWNED, es increible) y la aventura principal está muy bien.

Los añadidos del remake son agradecidos y mejoran mucho la experiencia, tanto los intrínsecos en la aventura (Kirby Meca es increible, aunque soy fiel a Kirby Lanza) como el sistema de minijuegos y máscaras (que me parece encantador y lleno de bonitas referencias)

Mención aparte al modo de Maglor interdimensional que es un añadido increible con una progresión similar a RPG con niveles y con un jefe final de aupa y que no palidece ante el aun así increible forma final de la aventura principal.

Muy majo, muy contento de cerrar el círculo de esta era de Kumazaki con un juego con tanto cariño.

A fun little Kirby game with plenty to do! It's easy to see how this could feel disappointing after Forgotten Land, but this is a pretty solid game in its own right.

The visuals are very pleasant and a nice boost over the Wii original. Gameplay is what you'd expect from a 2D Kirby game, solid but not phenomenal. The story gets the job done, it doesn't do anything new but that's fine.

There's a good amount of side content here, like with most Kirby games. The Magolor epilogue is a unique take on Kirby gameplay (spoilers: you play as Magalor), where you get to level up abilities over time.

Merry Magoland is...fine. Mostly seems like multi-player versions of the games you can already access during the Main story in Magolor's ship.

Overall, a good little package. Whether its worth the full $60 is up to you.

i cried when this was announced and i cried when i booted the game i cant believe how much kirby is emotionally ruining my life

return to dreamland has been one of my fav games for the longest time since i was like 7 yo or something when i used to play and replay it day and night and i honestly could not believe it when this remaster was announced it was something absolutely breathtaking that i only experienced when SMTV was announced and if you know me im a huge smt fag

i played this game something like 30 times between the normal mode and hard mode and i feel like i could play this blindfolded its just that muscle memory that makes me go so smoothly to the point that i think i finished the base game in like 4 hours this game is short but i dont think its THAT short so i think im sick in the head but anyway that means this game has no secrets for me and still i get back to it every year because i miss my pink ball so much

this also was the first game that made me acquaint with the pink ball of wonders and to this day i love him so dearly i swear i got a recurring joke with some friends about me being kirby because we were born the same day and we are both ENFP so like this is genuinely my entire personality

the review i made for return to dreamland wii didnt really contain all my feelings for this game so its the time to do it on this one

in general this game is quite a standard kirby for the series and you got some fun multiplayer to boot (didnt experience it even once because i got no friends but it looks fun at least) and you follow titular character + the whole crew waddle dee king dedede and meta knight ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ my boyfriend i love him so fucking much in a quest to help poor little magolor from another dimension who got stranded on planet pop and his ship is all fucked up so you gotta help him and all going through different classic worlds that got some parts of the ship

now this is p bland but when i tell you that this game is full of life its so fun its so charming its so UGHHHHHHHH i love it

apart from the ship parts (boss reward) theres some ship gears around the levels that are needed to open up some parts of the ship for extra content like ability rooms or minigames and such so nothing that important i dont usually like collectibles and i dont care but i do religiously seek at least the most important ones or the ones that i remember because its part of the experience to be honest

a gimmick that was added in this game was the mega abilities which to this day still hype me up THEYRE SO FUCKING COOL like you got a big ass sword or a fire dragon or a huge hammer and you tell me not to scream and then theres that ost going tu tu tu TURUTUTUTU TATATATTAT yea no i love mega abilities i think about them everyday

at its core this is a platformer with some puzzle elements as in you gotta think about what ability to use or what to do to get some ship gears but thats basically it everything else is delicious action platformer content
so you go through the levels reconstruct the lor go through some other levels beat landia and then beat the TRUE FINAL BOSS WOOOOOOOOOOO not gonna spoil here anyway so the end

onto remaster stuff

im not a big fan of graphics as in i do not really care how many polygons there are for what i care they could all be 2d triangles i needed to point that out because the other day i was talking with a friend and i told him did you play uncharted and he said no i dont play games like those the graphics are too outdated (?) what ps3 graphics are outdated ok man live your truth so what i wanted to say with this was graphics got better DUh the landscapes are delicious the characters shine of a new light every monster and every environmental element has been polished and pushed to the limits of graphical fidelity and the background images are outstanding to look at but what really got me here are the little artistic touches now THATS the big stuff for me like the little star animations between levels or the new polished UI or even the characters restyling which is less evident in most of them apart from king dedede who looks GORGEOUS in the forgotten lands style hes … hes kinda hot can i say taht here can i umh is that allowed umh ok

also they got some sexy outlines i love outlines

OST remained quite the same i think i dont have the kind of ears to know what the fuck is different between some tracks i needed to listen to kingdom hearts 2.5 remix music and original kh2 ost like 10 times to know what was the difference but again the music in this game is phenomenal if youd let me say this so honestly theres nothing to remix or arrange its prolly just been hd scaled or something so love it

gameplay is basically the same what is different here is the new additional content aiding the gameplay

wii motion controls were seamlessly adapted for the switch control set in mind and work flawlessly even though i kinda miss shaking my fucking wii remote to the hell and back but im fine with pressing B i guess

new abilities were added theres festival who acts like a screen bomb clear which is fine and theres mecha and sand now i thought i was gonna love mecha ability which somehow i do but what really took me by surprise is the fact that i fuck with sand ability too much what the hell that ability is so fun did you look at the moveset that shits amazing people you need to try it firsthand wows

super abilities are mostly the same but they got some faster gameplay and that animation flair uuuuuuuuh delicious fucking great i love the little magic ball animation he looks so fierce kribri i love yoiiiiiiiuuuuuuuu kirbuuuuuuuuu

clearly since theres new abilities but also in general the levels got revamped to some degree to accommodate the new stuff but to the core this is the exact same game you can trust me this is basically return to dreamland wii with fancy graphics

now theres also a new world called merry magoland which is basically a hall for the countless minigames (that i didnt even try if you know me you know i fucking hate minigames im sorry thats true maybe its the trauma from final fantasy fort condor minigame) and where you can use the new ticket collectibles in the level to unlock some useful objects to carry in the levels and get some masks for kirby to wear like its fucking majoras mask this is so funnt they also make sounds im dead anyway this is basically a waddle dee town from the forgotten land clone but its a cute addition anyway for the base game also it looks like magolor my bf so its fine

theres also some missions i guess . never did them goodbye also the bosses get in here after you beat their asses

theres a magolor helper mode if you suck . i dont suck haha so i didnt need it HAHA I FINISHED THE GAME WITH 50+ LIVES LEFT SUCK MY DICK im failing at life but at leasst i can play kirby

i think thats all the new stuff ………………….. I THINK ? idk

ok so anyway MID SPOILER actually if you havent played return to dreamland yet what are you doing honestly

whatever after the final battle against magolor which is one of my fav final bosses of all time literally its perfect its great i love it i want every game to be like this ok anyway you unlock the usual stuff hard mode (didnt do it) arena (didnt do it) and then

a surprise i was not fucking expecting a brand new holy shit magolor mode for people like me who absolutely love magolor . i screamed i screamed i was not ready for this and wow . wow when i finished the main game it was already a 5☆ this sealed the deal

you play as magolor after being defeated by kirby and besties and being stripped of every power in true metroid esque fashion and gets stranded in a place between dimension where he needs to go through some levels to piece together AN . ? apple ok weird twist but anyway

I LOVED THIS MODE . I LOVED IT THIS IS GREAT its like nightmare returns the mode where you play as meta knight but with my other fav character so like . this was particularly made for me as you all can tell

main gimmick is magolor got some basic skills that you can power up by going through levels and acquiring some spirit tears or something so then you can use them to idk get the main attacks range longer or attack stronger to shit like making him faster or modify some abilities or increase the health bar its just . its great you can slowly and steadily see him go from a wounded little bitch to a strong magus and UGHHHHHH i love it i love his movesets i love the levels he goes through i love acquiring the tears in normal levels or extra levels and make him stronger this mode absolutely blew my mind its just wow

wow

so whatever the levels are actually “new” even though they do use the same assets of the base game and the bosses are just reskins of the main game ones but still with new movesets and anyway whats really different here is magolor animation arsenal of spells and absolutely cute battle cries hes ……. hes fucking great people

finished all of this you get to battle against possibly one of my new fav bosses in this series which funnily enough is a tree and no its not whispy woods so thats already 1 less

anyway umh great battle and i love seeing magolor smile in the end hes a sweet boo oof i want to hug him ok

OH ALSO theres remixed osts i forgot about them theyre the base game ones but with some extra flare and i ended up bopping to every of them so good good stuff

so umh

i guess this is it this really is a piece of my heart i just love this game to the moon and back and its still a big part of my life today as it was 10 years ago funnily enough

its kinda weird playing a game that you know everything about and still get excited like it is the first time booting it up idk its a weird feeling do you get that feeling too idk its just yeah

if you look at my ratings i dont usually put 5 stars to basically anything apart from smt mainline stuff and possibly jak 3 or sly 3 or ratchet deadlocked if i played them again because those are also big parts of my childhood and adolescence and to this day they still have a big weight on me like they never left and i guess its due to give this tribute to one of the dearest games i have a 10/10

i enjoyed everything about the remake and they even managed to make me fucking excited for new stuff with the magolor epilogue so congrats nintendo you stole my heart yet again with this pink ball

the forgotten land was a great game that is gonna be a 4.5 stars soon because thats just how much i loved it but still this is the game that i think about when kirby comes to my mind

umh

that was long

this is probably gonna be the definitive edition to play this game for the next replays to come even though i will go back to the wii version from time to time and idle in my childhood yet again playing as the gluttonous pink sphere being from space

i just wish sakurai knew how much this series meant for me

Imagine if after putting out Mario Odyssey, Nintendo turned around and put out New Super Mario Bros U. for the same price. Wait...

The third time Nintendo has followed up a genius shakeup in a tired franchise with a full price remaster of the most tired and bland game in the series. If you've gone through teething, you'll probably beat Return to Dreamland Deluxe without dying. And in Kirby tradition, any potentially challenging content is locked behind 4 hours of autopilot gaming.

And stop giving Kirby screen clearing power ups, I can only watch a group of 3 waddle dees go poof a few times before my eyes glaze over.

I should state I have no problems with easy games. Forgotten Land was super easy, but it had imagination, charm and new ideas up the arse. Now its followed up by a remaster of a game that's basically all the ideas that NEEDED a shake up delicately planted in a row for the same price.

Sadly, not even co op can liven this up because its basically 4 guys fighting to be the one who gets to do anything. Play this one with your kids.

Damn they weren't lying. That Kirby's Return to Dreamland really is Deluxe!

There's not too much to say about the bulk of the game cus.. it's Return to Dreamland. It's an already really great game that just got better. It's kinda like the Metroid Prime remaster in that way, only this time there's a bit of extra shit here to discuss.

Firstly, the visual overhaul looks really really good, and while it may be a little mixed, I honestly think the outlines helps make this game look super distinct and It looks really nice! It definitely is a way to visually update a Wii game to look distinct. This game looks great.

Now, in terms of extra content, there are two main things added to this game. The first is this little mini-island filled with the different minigames from across the series. Not much to say on those except that they're all pretty fun and it gives me something extra to collect during the main game.

Now, the MAGOLOR EPILOGUE is definitely a lot more interesting for me personally. While the Magolor Epilogue is not that long, similar to something like Meta Knightmare Returns, it's a really nice epilogue with improved Level Design, Progression, and ESPECIALLY Boss Fights since the original Return to Dreamland and the last 2D kirby. It's a really fun package with some really cool and surprising moments.

Overall, a nice, if simple remaster to one of the best wii games out there. The only thing I'd say is missing from this remaster is online multiplayer but I think beyond that, this game is just a really fun alternative to Forgotten Land. A simple, yet really well designed 2D Platformer that is good for some straightforward fun.

Lovely remake/remaster of the game that kickstarted Kirby's resurgence of 2D platforming
The bulk of the game is largely Kirby's Adventure Wii (thank you Nintendo for trying to confuse the European market by giving us the US name this time lmao) with new mech and sand power ups to play with as well as decorative masks that can be earned from playing the new minigames.
Kirby's Adventure Wii was a classic and this doesn't do anything to detract from that original experience so it's a fantastic experience for those who haven't played it.

The main new attraction is the Malagor epilogue that unlocks when you beat the story mode. Here you play as Malagor trying to recover his abilities. It's a fun new mode as you start of with limited abilities and gain more as you progress. You can also upgrade these abilities to make Malagor much stronger by spending magic points which are gained through collecting items in the stages and performing combos on enemies and blocks to rack up even more magic points.
It's a fun way to wrap up the adventure and give fans who played the original a reason to pick this one up.

My only real complaint is the lack of online multiplayer for the story mode. After Super Mario 3D World and Mario Party Superstars included online multiplayer, I was hoping it would become a standard for Nintendo games like this. Unfortunately it's not the case which is a shame.

This is a great update to an already fantastic Kirby experience

A really good remake of an already great game, everything I loved about the original is preserved outside of Scope Shot being cut which still ticks me off. But I really enjoyed the retro sub-games they remade here.

Magolor Epilogue is also fun, didn't really expect for them to make a new mode but I felt like I should've after Forgotten Land.

If you've never played the original RTDL then you cannot go wrong with buying this game. You're basically getting an already great game you can play on the go with more content than the original.

If you played the original or still have access to it, then its really up to you if the new content is enough for you to throw 60 bucks down for it.

For as long as I can remember, Kirby as a series has always been a part of my life, and the more modern style of 2D games have always been there as some of my favorites of all time. But while games like Planet Robobot I've always had a lot of fondness for, the era of this series' 2D outings on Switch have been... lacking to say the least, and for a while I was concerned that we'd never reach the kind of highs that the 3DS games had reached again.

Throughout all the games in the series however, Return to Dream Land has always been somewhat mysterious to me as I never played it when it originally came out, and got to it MUCH later in my life. So with the prospect of a remake, I was excited but cautiously optimistic based on what I had seen.

That's why I am beyond pleased and happy to say that Deluxe is, in my opinion, the BEST way to play this game now, to the point where I don't think I could ever go back to the original.

While I still like the original game and will always respect it's legacy and the impact it would have on the series moving forward, this remake takes every step to both improve AND add onto the original in ways that I didn't even know I wanted from it.

The visuals are spectacular with a really nice almost cel-shaded visual style that helps add a lot of character, and having a main-line Kirby game on this system that actually runs at 60fps improves fluidity SO much for the gameplay.

The host of new and returning mini-games makes for a really fun time that I've so far found that I've been getting a lot more out of then I thought I would, and the amount of polish and care that's been put into staying faithful to those game's origins is extremely appreciated.

And the epilogue, while not being too long, adds a LOT to the experience, and offers some of the best boss fights not just in this game, but I'd argue in the entire series, and provides great closure to Magolor's character.

Honestly, playing this game really brought me back to when I was younger and played those 3DS games for the first time, and has really allowed me to rekindle what I love about this series so much, as well as make me even more hopeful for where it will go from here.

If you have never played the original game before, this is an absolute must-buy in my opinion, and especially a great way to jump into this series' 2D outings as well. Obviously for those who have played the original, it will really be up to you personally on how much the new additions are worth a re-buy. But as for me, I don't regret it for a second, and will absolutely be coming back to this one for years to come.

Enjoyable enough but a fairly generic Kirby experience. The super copy abilities aren't as fun as the game seems to think they are and can be quite intrusive to the freedom of choosing your copy ability. The Magolor epilogue content is good - while other player characters have always been fun enough to use, it's enjoyable to build magolor's unique skillset. My main critique is length. The main campaign can be comfortably beaten in a day, and the levels are not individually particularly memorable or replayable. Would suggest renting if you can.

There are two games that can be pointed out as the culprits as why I love the videogame medium as much as I do today, one of them is Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which introduced to many of the franchises I love to this day (And I'll probably talk about it another time), and the other one was Kirby's Adventure Wii, as it was known here in Europe. Funny thing is, I didn't even know this game existed before I bought it, I was barely 8 years old and didn't pay much atention to TV ads, so imagine my surprise when I walked into the game store with my parents, with the idea of getting Epic mickey for my birthday, and seing the funny pink ball from Smash in a box art. I don't know why, but for some reason I changed my mind, and I ended up asking my parents to buy that game, and honestly, I will forever thank my past self for that decision, because it resulted in one of the best possible proper introductions to the platformer genre I could have had, and the mos fun moments I had with a game in all of my life.

So, yeah, after that chunk of background, I think you could guess that I got pretty excited when this game was announced, I mean, a remake of my favourite game when I was a kid? with an oncredibly beautiful art-style? with more Maglor? AND THEY GOT EGG CATCHER ON THIS SHIT?! Sign me up! So now the question is, is it any good?.... I mean yeah the original was awesome so of course it's good.

The game as it released on 2011 had one goal in mind: offer a fun but simple platformer that everyone can pick up and have fun both alone or with friends, and my god it delivers. All of the levels are devided by rooms, are while most levels do have some mechanic or platforming obstacle accross all the rooms, in general terms, each room is its own little puzzle, with its secrets that give either lives or the collectables, and some levels end with a ''Super-ability'' section which can grant access to challenge room that ends on a mini-boss. A faily simple gampley loop, one that becomes almost ACDICTING, this is how most Kirby games operate, but this in particular just stands out, and even tho it's an easy game, everytime you complete a puzzle or defeat one of the really fun final bosses, you feel like you achieved something great, a reward sensation that few other games match, and the fact a game like this can give such feeling is incredible.

Honestly, I think that the game as it is holds up extremely well, so it makes sense that the only changes made to the main campaign are visual (also two brand new abilities, both extremely cool, albeit one of them is pretty damn overpowered), and speaking of visuals...

I understand why some people dislike Dedede's new design and the outlines, I really do, but I just don't agree. The presentation id jaw-dropping, is a bit of a shame that because of Metroid Prime Remastered dropping this month I can't call this the best Remaster Nintendo has put out, but holy hell does it come close. The new artstyle injects new life to every corner of the game: the colors pop out even more and it looks gorgeous, the backgrounds are all amazing, there are some new animations and details that add a lot to the experience,... It's probablu one of the best looking non pixel-art 2D platformers I've played; keep in mind, I'm not saying the original looks bad, it still looks amazing, but this is just another level, it may be nostalgia be playing tricks on me, but I just love it too much.

On top of ALL of this, on top of all the incredible base game and visual overhaul... YOU ALSO GET FUCKING EGG CATCHER LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I really like the adition of Magoland , it just add so much content and fun that it's almost surreal; a TON of minigames, some new, some returning, and all really fun; the hub that changes as you progress in the story and in Magoland's missions (yeah, there are over 100 missions in Magoland alone, this shit is crazy) PLUS the mask, a really cute collectable with references across the series, wich at this point I feel spoiled with tha amaount of Kirby love. There's also Magolor's Epilogue, and... I don't really want to talk about it a whole lot, is a great adition and creative one at that, tho the level design can feel a bit ''arcadie'' and not as great or fun as the base game, but the progression sensation is awesome thanks to the RPG elements and, the ending is batshit insane, I'm not saying more so I don't spoil anybody, but it goes so fucking hard.

Oof... so, here you are, you just read a random guy on the internet gushing about a game he loves, and honestly, first of all, thank you for lending your time into reading this, and also, yeah, I just really love this game; it's far from being perfect, there are some minor problems here and there already present on the original release and some of the Magoland missions do feel like padding and in some cases straight up bullshit, but... I just can't bring myself to not love this game. Again, nostalgia doesn't blind me from its shortcomings, and Robobot surprasses it in both design and what it has to tell as a story, but I really recommend this game, it's a lovely time both alone and in co-op, it has love oozing from every part and it ahs a ton to offer, trust me, is a good one, and it has some secrets to show... so might as well discover them...




oh yeah I almost forgot, the music fucKING SLAPS HOLY MOTHER OF DEDEDE THIS SHIT IS A CONSTANT BOP WHAT THE ACTUAL FU- ok that's enough, again thanks for reading, and have a good day or night :).

Still my favorite Kirby game! Never a dull moment in this one. I'd say the quality is well worth the price, but in classic Nintendo fashion, it isn't really worth the price for returning players (unless you're a shill like me). I think it's nice that they're pushing the co-op party games a lot more, though I can't imagine it's going to be played very much. Aside from that there is Magolor's new story, which is pretty good! It's definitely a better reward than the extra mode and has what I'd consider to be a roguelike upgrade system so that was cool.
Also liked how the artstyle was kinda-sorta altered to look cell shaded, similar to one of the beta concepts for Return to Dreamland. Don't know if that was based off of that but that's what it made me think of.
