New details about the Kirby Anthology for Wii: Kirby's Dream Collection will include six games along with a new play mode and will be released in Japan on July 19 with a U.S. release this September. The six games to be included are Kirby's Dream Land (Game Boy, 1992), Kirby's Adventure (NES, 1993), Kirby's Dream Land 2 (Game Boy, 1995), Kirby Super Star (SNES, 1996), Kirby's Dream Land 3 (SNES, 1997), and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (Nintendo 64, 2000). In addition, Dream Collection will include ten “challenge stage” mini-games designed to test players’ ability to score the most points in the least amount of time, a “Kirby History” compilation of comics and cartoons, a “memorial fanbook” of character art, and a soundtrack CD.1
To be perfectly honest, Nintendo completely botched Mario's 25th Anniversary... Super Mario Bros. deserved better. Arguably the most influential game of all time, it deserved to have the vaults opened wide for fans to have access to every bit of content related to the original title. After consuming the disc, we should've been left utterly full, yet definitively satiated. But that's not the route Nintendo decided to take -- instead, we got a disc with a rom of Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES, a flimsy book sprinkled with pull quotes, and a CD containing a shamefully bare selection of tracks. In essence, Nintendo celebrated the 25th anniversary of their iconic mascot by making a quick buck. And while this left us undeniably disappointed, hope remains.
Not much more than a brief tease; as part of today's "Nintendo Direct" news event in Japan, Nintendo said "a special Wii disc featuring all your favorite Kirby games," will be released this year, the character's 20th anniversary.1
