• Two Deluxe Downloadable Kirby Games: Bounce or battle with two new titles available today at $6.99 each in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS. Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe and Kirby Fighters Deluxe are standalone downloadable games that first made an appearance in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, and are now updated with enhanced game-play features. In Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe, players move Dedede across the stage, bouncing to the beat in seven new stages exclusive to this downloadable version. In Kirby Fighters Deluxe, players use different copy abilities to defeat all of the arena opponents. This version includes five new stages and a new team battle feature. Players who already own Kirby: Triple Deluxe with StreetPass data will get bonus content in both downloadable games.

Yay!!!

It won't just... add itself to the game I already own?

No, I don't think it will, but you'll get bonus content.

 

[Vermillion]

I see.

Fuck you, Nintendo.

 

[Hours Left]

The hits keep coming.

 

[Berordn]

I see.

Fuck you, Nintendo.

They've always been separate titles, just based on the ones from Triple Deluxe.

 

[Tertullian]

The poor man's Smash Bros.

 

[maxcriden]

Updated OP with trailers.

 

[zigg]

Original Kirby Fighters is pretty amazing multiplayer. I assume Deluxe still has Download Play? Long shot, but does it have more character options for the downloaders? The original limited non-owners to a smaller selection of powers.

 

[daxgame]

haha, I played this on my wife's Kirby with her prepping for the new Smash.

 

[Platy]

Does the game works with multiplayer with a 3DS with Triple Deluxe ?

Any word on the bonus content ?

Might grab it when my Triple Deluxe arrives if only to have a multiplayer battle =D

No more details just yet

(I'll try to find out from the JP release though since's already out there!)

 

[DizzyCrow]

Would recommend the Dedede game for someone who doesn't have the Kirby game?

 

[Teknoman]

Still would've been nice if Kirby fighters was online.

 

[Berordn]

I like it, but compared to Kirby Fighters and Triple Deluxe it's pretty... flat.

 

[emb]

I see.

Fuck you, Nintendo.

I'm feeling pretty much a similar sentiment, but kinda the opposite. I like that it's separate from the main game, but these couldn't be put together and made into a budget retail release? Nintendo pls!

I'll probably still play that fighter.

 

[daydream]

DDD DD is excellent, loved it in Triple Deluxe.

I wonder what Streetpass data has to do with the extras, though. Usually it's save data that's relevant for unlocking cross-title bonus content, no?

 

[Letep]

For NA? Woah what cool.

It's how the game verifies if you own Triple Deluxe, since there's no extra data saved with the game.

It's a bit hacky (and easily circumvented...), but it's the only way it has to check.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I shall purchase them both!

 

[XenodudeX]

Does Kirby Fighters have online play?

 

[Berordn]

Does Kirby Fighters have online play?

Local only

But there is download play! Really limited download play, but it's there.

Hm, weird.

I guess you can delete the Streetpass data afterwards (limited # of slots, why), so it's no biggie.

No online? Makes it kind of useless for me

So wait, if I have SP active but never actually got a SP for Triple Deluxe, will the game know I own it?

AFAIK, it just checks to see that the game is registered in streetpass.

Sweet. Thanks Berordn!

 

[terrisus]

So is Kirby Fighters basically Smash Bros. where everyone is forced to be Kirby? >.>

Kirby only? No items? No Final Destination? I'd like to know this too.

Edit: Kirby only, 10 copy abilities. Earn hats. Neat.

That looks super fun and adorable.

 

[Fireblend]

Kirby Fighters with online play would have been great to survive the wait for Smash. Smash being about a month away, I really don't see myself playing this unfortunately. Oh well.

 

[PAULINK]

bonuses for having the streetpass data
(or playtime in the records? not sure)
for those who can't see the images

you get 3 masks for Dedede's drum dash deluxe, these masks are Kirby, Waddle Dee, and Meta Knight. Swappable in game by pressing L and R

You get Two abilities for Kirby fighters Deluxe, Bell and Beetle, as well as a stage, Waddle Dee train tracks.


Not sure if these are unlockable any other way.

Awesome ...

Is there any way for you to test if they have cross play ?

 

[zroid]

Not sure if I need a Kirby fighters expansion with smash so close, but I am so ready for more DEDEDE'S DRUM dash

 

[Thores]

Holy cow, I heard these were being localized, but I didn't realize they came out TODAY until I was on the eshop this evening for other reasons. Now I can't decide whether to get Kirby Fighters or Gunvolt.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

Does the game works with multiplayer with a 3DS with Triple Deluxe ?

The answer is apparently no:

i bought it for my son's 2DS, i already have the Kirby Triple Deluxe,

the bad thing is that Kirby Fighter and Kirby Fighter Deluxe ARE NOT COMPATIBLE for Multi Player...

come on nintendo, i really i can have full featured play with my son (vs limited selection Download Play)

too bad....

Seriously, Nintendo? It is like they didn't think anyone would want to buy the game for that purpose...

 

[zigg]

n/m, I can't read

 

[Spinluck]

No online kills the deal for me.

 

[Makai]

 

[Professor Beef]

I see.

Fuck you, Nintendo.

+1

 

[Jeels]

Any impressions or reviews?

It ain't bad. I just played through the single player of Kirby Fighters Deluxe with the starter charcters. It resembles Smash Bros, but there is almost no knockback on attacks so it feels more like Pocket Fighter. Items are king.

Bomb - Cannot be beaten
Hammer - Up attack is ridiculously strong
Beam - Good
Cutter - Pretty good
Sword - Invincible Up Attack. What the heck?
Parasol - Has the airborne equivalent of Peach's Down Smash
Fighter - Basically Sean from Street Fighter 3
Ninja - Beastly counter and dash attack
Whip - Attacks with precision
Bow - Awful. At least you look cute. Kirby hides in a fake bush when crouching.

Are you able to see what limitations, if any, are on Download Play with other 3DSes?

 

[Makai]

I'm afraid not. I got the Japanese version because I'm prepping to stream Smash Bros in a couple weeks. I can barely make it through the menuing so I don't know anything about the advanced features.

Yesterday in the Nintendo Downloads thread, I lamented that my current lack of 3DS internet would prevent me from getting Kirby Fighters Deluxe. Today I remembered that Nintendo Zones let you connect to the internet, and after finding the nearest location (the local mall an hour away) I set out to utilize it. I ended up running around for a good 30 minutes trying to figure out where the signal was best, only to finally discover that even with 3 bars I couldn't connect. I almost gave up hope entirely, until I noticed that a nearby Macy's had free Wi-Fi. After some fiddling around, I was able to connect to their network! I immediately rushed to the eShop and set it to "Download Later" while I read GAF on my phone. An hour later, the bus back home arrived, so I got on and opened my 3DS to play.

You're invincible when you make that bush with the Bow.

Would you recommend it to someone who already has Kirby Triple Deluxe?
