Talk:Kirby's Return to Dream Land

thread_title: Just A Rumor

message: Last I remember, it was "Kirby Adventure". 208.101.148.128 17:00, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The only time it has ever been called that has been by IGN, last I checked. Nintendo of Japan's website's upcoming games list has continually listed the game as "Hoshi no Kirby", which has always been the base title of all of Kirby's main games in Japan.

thread_title:  Why is "Kirby" the tentative title? 

message: What is taking Nintendo and HAL so long to make this game? Have they canceled it? Or has it gone Vaporware? I'm just so confused!  Link 486 14:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oi, it was mentioned at this year's E3 in a news article (although I don't believe anything about it was shown), so apparently it isn't dead just quite yet. Disaster KirbyTalk 14:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  '''WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS GAME?!''' 

message: Since it may be for Gamecube is it right to call it Kirby (Wii)?Claycrow 13:45, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It can't be for GameCube, because Nintendo has stopped making games for it. Plus, Nintendo Power doesn't list "Kirby" as as upcoming GameCube game anymore (let alone any GameCube games at all?), and Nintendo of Japan only lists "Hoshi no Kirby" as a Wii title.

thread_title: Title

message: I'm totally confused about this. Cassamina confirmed this title was going to launch this month, but we don't have any information about the game, nor did we put the launch date. Why???        --Mr.Mario 192 (talk) 17:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release 

message: I emailed Nintendo of America about the status of this game, and got this response:
"Hello Jesse,
Unfortunately, I'm sorry to report that Nintendo no longer plans to
release that unfinished Kirby title for any system.  While I don't have a
specific reason that the game was canceled, I can tell you that it can
happen for a variety of reasons.  Nintendo is able to produce only a
limited number of titles each year; when it comes time to pick those
titles, we choose those that will provide the best entertainment value to
the most people.  
Our website's Game List (http://www.nintendo.com/gamelist) represents
the best place to find the most accurate release dates available for our
titles.  Once there, click "Show advanced filtering" and use the
dropdown menus to narrow your search based on system, publisher, number of
players, etc. 
When you have filtered your search, click on the game's title to see
all the available information.  If what you seek is not yet available,
please check back later. When there is new information to share on
announced games or other upcoming products, our website is the best official

thread_title:  Vaporware? 

message: "Kirby also used a new attack system, which allowed Kirby to ride on the backs of up to three other characters. "
That's not new.  That's a system that was seen in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and 3.
Granted, if the game is cancelled, as I saw in the discussion, not really a big deal to change it, just thought I'd say something.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Polantaris (talk • contribs) 06:41, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Power? 

message: Does anyone have a source on that name put in the VG Box, "Kirby: Legend of the Stars"? (Yes, it does sounds like a Kirby name, but there's no source...) And also, Japan says December 19th? Did someone find this information elsewhere or did they just slap that here to confuse us all? 76.175.116.65 (talk) 19:58, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release Date and Title? 

message: This game has a lot of uncertainty floating around it. I don't want to say we should put it up for deletion now, but unless it shows up at E3 this year, I'm beleiving it's canceled. 68.38.169.29 (talk) 22:14, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't take that as confirmation. All other signs for this game have flat-lined except for its name on a list that could have been a mistake in the first place. I agree with the anonymous user up there. If nothing is said about this game's status by E3, delete this thang! POWERSLAVETALK/CONT 04:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Up For Deletion? 

message: Apparently, GameFAQs listed Kirby as having a March 20, 2010 release date. There aren't any other sources which state this, and I don't even see it on GameFAQs anymore. Should it be changed to TBA 2010? Tehaura (talk) 22:01, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: If it has not been done then obviously yes. The odds of a game by a major company being released a in a little more than a month without even a formal announcement is so low that it is not even worth considering.--76.69.171.240 (talk) 04:12, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  March 20, 2010 release date? 

message: It was never officially announced that it would be release for the Wii instead of the GameCube.--FifthCylon (talk) 17:16, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Nintendo has announced that they are no longer developing for the GameCube. The only active consoles are Wii, DS, DS Lite, DS XL, DSi and I think GBA. BOVINEBOY2008 :) 14:13, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  still being made for the GameCube 

message: Kirby GCN looked promising, without any gimmicks other than 4 player. Epic Yarn (is that the final subtitle?)... Well. It's almost entirely different. Looks more like a successor to Kirby's Dream Land 3. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if this has more in common with the Shimomura series than the Sakurai titles. But can this really be the same game? This seems like a whole new game rather than just an "Okami pre and post-release" job. 173.77.75.154 (talk) 20:06, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Where is the source connecting the Kirby game that was in development in 2005, to Kirby's Epic Yarn now in 2010? This reminds me of when everyone thought the 2002 game Super Mario Sunshine was the finalized version of Super Mario 128, originally announced in 1997. I don't think the connection between these two Kirby games should just be assumed. Fezmar9 (talk) 00:55, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

text: While I'm not advocating that they are one in the same, if this game was canned in favour of turning it into this, then it would still be considered a part of its development history. I don't think that Kirby Wii [as it was] has enough to sustain itself, and would be of more relevance here than anywhere else. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:38, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Also, there was no recently announced 3D Kirby game. It was part of a trailer, and trailers frequently use familiar imagery from their properties. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:39, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

text: Yes, I agree that it should be reworded. It's worth to note that this page is based on the page about the old GCN/Wii game we've seen trailers of, and since Epic Yarn has only been known of for a day, the article will probably improve over time, no? ~FireyFly tc 13:50, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  How can Epic Yarn be the same game? 

message: There are screenshots to be found here. I'm guessing using one of those screenshots would qualify as fair use, to illustrate the article and the unique art style of the game? (Just want a confirmation before snatching one of them.) ~FireyFly tc 07:12, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images 

message: This article contradicts itself. The title claims the game was cancelled, but later, near the end, it says that Nintendo said the game is STILL IN DEVELOPMENT. Is the game cancelled or not?! I'm sorry, but having a major contradiction like that is stupid. Someone needs to fix this. (I'd fix it by changing this article's title back to Kirby (Wii) and placing it back in the main series section, but I'm not sure how to do that, yes, I know, I'm a noob.)

What do you make of this? If not the same game, it certainly looks inspired by it. Though there's no sign of the Helper system so far, Kirby seems to have "Smash Ball-esque" attacks. 144.80.155.182 (talk) 15:35, 28 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Good chance that this is the same game. If by some chance it is not we can split them later.--76.66.180.54 (talk) 03:04, 30 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Un-canceled?! Take a look.

thread_title:  Kirby DS 2011 

message: I think that this page and the 2005 kirby game should be separated because they in no way are really similar besides 3d graphics, its not even the same engine.--108.56.156.80 (talk) 23:17, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This game is the same as Kirby (2011 video game) for Wii, the fact that the game engine are not the same is pointless, a lot of games starts with a game engine and then ends totally different, see Duke Nukem Forever for instance. The fact is that the new game for the Wii doesn't start from scratch, but used all the assets and the ideas of this old game. --87.8.245.179 (talk) 20:38, 31 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This article should be merged into Kirby 2011's article at some point in the future under it's development section.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.16.206.28 (talk) 17:22, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Is that a fact...? I don't think any official connection has been stated. 173.52.244.75 (talk) 17:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: An official connection may never be made, but it is similar in concept and design. For all intents and purposes, it's the future 3D Kirby game, and any past 3D Kirby Game prototypes would share a common history. There's zero way it is not related, as it is all in-house at Nintendo and they would not throw away a previously designed game and start over on this one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.16.206.28 (talk) 02:07, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

message: According to this Japanese interview which I've seen being linked to, Kirby's Return to Dream Land is the fourth game in a series of attempts of HAL Laboratories creating a Kirby home console game. The canceled 2005 GameCube game was merely the first attempt, and although Return to Dream Land re-uses a lot of the elements present from the "Kirby GCN/Wii" trailer(s) (like this one), from what I'm gathering, the interview suggests that the canceled game and Return to Dream Land are NOT one and the same but rather two distinct games that are very similar in design and concept...
