Kirby's Return to Dream Land EX

Kirby's Return to Dream Land EX, also known as Kirby's Adventure Wii Remastered in the PAL regions, is an upcoming game for the Nintendo Switch. It is an enhanced port and HD remaster of Kirby's Return to Dream Land that was released for the Nintendo Wii back in 2011. This re-release of the game will commerce the 30th anniversary of Kirby.
==Overview==
Dating back to 2004, an announcement was made for a working Kirby title for the GameCube. Designing and planning issues led to the cancellation of the release. A few more beta builds were featured within recent years, with much of the intended material derived and eventually foreshadowing the prototype title Kirby Wii in E3 2011. This would later come out to be Kirby's Return to Dream Land, also known as Kirby's Adventure Wii in the PAL regions, released for the Wii in Fall 2011.
Special challenge stages were accessible in the interior of the Lor Starcutter after gathering Energy Spheres in both Story Mode and Extra Mode. To avert data overage, some of the challenge stages failed to make the cut, and were later put into Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition, which was released nearly a year later.
