Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe looks... 

Updated thoughts here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CpaZe9NWxuc.html

Kirby Return to Dreamland was the game that got me pulled into the Kirby franchise and will forever have a special place in my heart. So seeing the game I hold dear to my heart get a remastered for the Nintendo Switch, really pulls my heart strings. Also, in my opinion, the outlines make the Kirby game have a almost comic style which I like and the models are obviously referencing to Kirby Forgotten Land. *I also wonder, since they added some new stuff, will Morpho Knight make an appearance? Not like part of the story but like, as a challenge boss or something?*

Aren’t Kirby fans always eating?? It’s like they’re only thing

The way they should handle the outlines (in my opinion) is have the outlines as an optional accessibility feature, where it can be toggled to player preference, kinda like how you can enable or disable outlines in Smash Bros 3DS

I'm Canadian guys, that's why I say $80. Also I was wrong, you CAN still add funds to your account, just not on Nintendo Eshop itself on the wiiu and 3ds. Then it closes on March 2023.

Other than Dedede's design here, I think everything about this remaster looks neat. :)

I don’t know, I honestly really like the outlines. The art style it seems they’re going for is really appealing in my opinion and while yeah it’s a bit pixelated, I don’t think people would notice it. I mean I didn’t until you pointed it out

I think the game looks fine. To be honest I really enjoy the character outlines, it really makes it stick out!

I feel like the outlines are meant to make the characters look more like they fit in a storybook, which the cutscenes give me the vibe of.

I would like to see a new version of Metanightmare but with Magolor as the main character and they could make a story for this like: after kirby saved magolor from the master crowns control he got teleported into a strange dimension and now he has to find a way back to dreamland

my roomate owns forgotten land, hasn't played it, and then when dream buffet comes out he says "I wanted a more main line real kirby game" I say "did you open forgotten land yet?" he didn't answer lmao.

Hopefully the outlines are toggleable

The outlines are going to be extremely helpful when playing with 4 players. This will probably be one of the best couch coop 2d platformers on the console, with a lot of thanks to that design choice. I believe it is made to enhance gameplay!

3:08 kirby did use outlines on the 3ds, but only on kirby battle royale Also, the outlines do change with each character

I think the outlines are good. They just need to make sure the characters are still shaded by the environmental lighting to make it look not too jarring

What I really want to see is a playable mode for Magolor, similar to his playable self in Star Allies. This along with him being playable in the sub games would be nice

I honestly kinda like the outlines (I’m a sucker for stylish 3D stuff lol) but I do agree that in some scenarios (like the sunset example you gave) the version without the outlines and the different shading looks cooler than the other one Either way, I like how both versions of the game looks. They’re both awesome

Edited very well, keep up the good work

Yeah when I saw it in the direct I had mixed feeling about the visuals. It reminded me of Smash Bros. on the 3DS with those weird outlines. Hopefully they'll at least give us an option to turn them off or make them less intense. But this is Nintendo we're talking about so who knows.

I definitely agree with the sticker criticism. I don’t like how the lighting doesn’t really effect the characters at all. It’s also strange since forgotten land didn’t do this at all and it was beautiful

2:02 was hilarious! I am super excited for this game, really funny and great video, you’ve earned my sub!

I think they’ll add the option to turn outlines off, making them blend in, like how some smash games had toggled outlines. Definitely gonna be a high class switch remake ☕️🗿

This is a really good video! I don't think that I've seen anyone nitpick about the change in character design for this remaster, but the attention to the agreement (or in this case, disagreement) between character designs and background designs makes a lot of sense!

I really loved your work, i came here by youtube recommendation and i'm definetly staying in this channel! Keep it up!

Kirby Returns to Dreamland was the game that got me into the Kirby franchise 🥰. It was the first Kirby game I’ve ever played.

I think another reason why there are outlines is for handheld mode. For people playing multiplayer on handheld mode the outlines would help a lot, still tho ye there should at least be an option to turn them off (even if it'd just look like SA and lose it's own identity with the art style)

Gonna be honest I really like the outlines

I love the editing here, subscribed

5:38 me who still owns my physical copy of the game: "I missed the part where that's my problem."

I’m really scared about it because of the state of remakes these days I don’t know another thing is the twist, everyone already knows the twist now.

I look at the outline as a callback to his Handheld roots and given the name Return to dreamland it makes sense for him to have a outline aesthetically. Also its clearly a function over cosmetic decision given you can play this game on a hand held with others they make it easier to discern Kirby and his friends in that situation. As for the theme park its a reference to Kirby's 20th anniversary (And as a Spoiler alert skip this sentence if you dont want to be spoiled.) where as in that game there is a expansion to the challenge rooms incorporated into a theme park Magalor built as an apology to Kirby for trying to rule the world by taking the crown and becoming almighty and powerful in the plot to Return to Dreamland. As such it makes me think of the possibility that the extra challenge room content in 20th anniversary that is tied to Return to Dreamland Canonically in that department is either going to be added into this release or unlocked by beating the game or fulfilling some condition.

Absolutely top notch video. Phenomenal editing and impeccable comedic timing. Cannot believe how small this channel is for how good the content is

never played return to dreamland so im excited as heck for this

Had to sub, like, the quality and editing is amazing!

Nice video man, hope your channel grows up

0:43 I see a bug flying by his head lol

I agree. What I learned while remaking some Zelda models in anime style is that using outlines doesn't always translate to a better looking result.

Great video! Love the editing :)

At first I was confused about it being $80 and not $60 but then I realized you are Canadian.

Imagine how the OST will sound like HOLY SHIT I CAN'T WAIT TO LISTEN TO THEM RIPS I don't have a switch

personally i think the borders help a lot in a caotic game like this that has moments when you just don´t know whats happening on screen and youre not gonna make your 3 brothers stop playing around just to see the backround

I freaking love your sense of comedy 😂 super excited to play the remake

I don't mind the outline itself, I just wish it didn't look so pixelated... Other than that, the new visual style looks gorgeous. ^^

Kirby's Return to Dream Land is one of my favorite games of all time, so seeing that its gonna get a remake/remaster on the Nintendo Switch, which is something that I've been wanting since the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, makes me VERY excited. Tho about the graphics, yeah that's something my little brother's concerned on, but who knows? Maybe they might make it better later on before its relisted on February 24th next year. But besides that, I'm really hyped for Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

3:36 idk that game looked like a flash game compared to deluxe 💀 it was cancelled for a reason lol i'm sorry i just can't find it appealing to look at

How do you not have more subscribers bro! your editing is amazing!

Love the vid bro keep up the good work 👍🏼

I think they should make the outlines less prominent so that they dont stick out like that

I love the outlines, that was literally my favorite artistic choice about it.

I’ll take things I would have never noticed had this guy not pointed them out, Alex.

Finally! A Canadian RU-vid! You’ve earned yourself a subscriber, good job! 🙌🙌🙌🙌

I can’t be the only one who likes the concept of outlines on the character, right? It’s a neat idea and I think it could be well executed; but with the artstyle the game has just makes it clash. I think a good compromise if they didn’t want to remove the outlines were to color them. Black is harsh, and it’s the reason why I don’t often draw using a black outline. I choose browns instead, making it much more softer. If they did that for each character (ex giving Kirby a dark pink) then I think it would actually look nice. Or yknow, just letting us toggle it off would be neat too.

I would also like to mention that Wispy Woods' textures look really, really flat and just don't look very good. Which is ironic, because Wispy in the original game had some amount of texturing, while this Wispy just looks like a flat color was pasted on him. This makes me potentially worried for how the other bosses may look like in this game. Though, I'm sure HAL Labs will be able to fix up the texture work and maybe add a setting that either tones down or removes the thick outlines... I hope.

I appreciate that ending song from cyber sleuth so much that I decided to subscribe. RU-vid's algorythm suggested your video and I enjoyed it overall. Hope you make it to the big leagues :)

This is a well scripted, executed and edited video. And your voice is pleasant to listen to. I’m surprised ur not at 1000 subs yet

i personally really like the outlines but i do think the way that the characters don't seem to reflect the lighting of the environment as much is a pretty solid point- i really hope that gets changed. also damn, i didn't realise it was that expensive, that's really gonna hurt my wallet.

idk who you are but i agree with your takes and love your editing so take my subscription you funny man

5:01 Jesus Christ, now I have to debate whether I want to sell my childhood game or not! I didn't know they went for this much (I checked other copies online and they often go for over $100) What do I do ;-;

nice to have found someone that shares my opinion. in the sunsetu the wii ver looks so much better its not just 4 kirby stickers and cannon stickers also the whispy fight the model looks less detailed. its really like they made a lot look better but at the same time make a few things look not good. I wish a kirby 64 remake a lot it could use alot of quality of life changes, its still one of my fav kirby games.

I dont know why but i just LOVE it when in games the character has an outline on like a 3d model it just looks so cool to me

3:44 this is how they should make a kirby right back at ya game

the 'can i call you hal' bit got me

i am 100% with you about the outlines. during the reveal, i was so happy about the game, since it's one of the big games i grew up with, but in the back of my mind i kept thinking about the outlines and how ugly they look. i really hope there is some way to turn it odff like in smash 3ds, but i doubt it

This was really enjoyably edited, and I agree with you

King Dedede now looks like he wants to time travel back to my Family Tree, where I was born, to destroy

I feel some Scott the woz vibes but I loved this video and editing. Amazing job. Keep it up. I honestly didn’t agree with you until you showed the sunset comparison. Great job. :)

Kirby’s return to dreamland was my first Kirby game, and seeing the artstyle change and the unnecessary new power up was weird to me.

what the heck, how have i not found this chanel before! The quality in editing is spectacular :> this is actually really funny, keep doing what youre doing! also yeah, i cant see king dedede as anything other than Club Penguin now fsjssz//

I love the outlines

2:07 That's exactly what I was thinking.

I am happy that I was not the only one to notice king dedede looked like a club penguin avatar

I am eating while I am watching this video lol

thing is, some people like outlines and some people dont.

I love how it looks

just 3 seconds and I already laughed, here you have my like and comment man

1:38 Kirby's Return to Return to Dream Land...

I still have my return to dreamland disc and case still sitting on my brothers shelf and if I had the wii again I would play it.

2022 was the year of Kirby shenanigans. Forgotten Land, Beam Attack, Dream Buffet, and the announcement of this

I played the Demo last night and it looks far better. That being said I still have the Wii version and that holds up very well to this day.

0:17 LOOKING AT YOU, DONKEY KONG

Kirby's return to dreamland was one of the first games I played so I'm excited to see it return

2:06 King Dedede, now King pinguin club

Litterly forgot this game was coming to switch and im a huge Kirby Birdy day

They will probably touch up on the outlines when it released, because if they put this much in, they might as well finish it

Well, I’m just glad I will finally get to play this game! (Since I never had a Wii)

"Both?" "Both." "Both" "Both" "Both is good!"

You can’t argue about there squish in the image where the four amigo kirbys are on the rails

So excited for return to dreamland deluxe! :D

Bout had a heart attack. Then realized you're Canadian.

5:59 lol I bought my copy of return to dream like a year ago and I found it for $19.99 USD at a vintage stock/movie trading Company

how are you under 1000 subs, this is great!

I love fighting king DeeDee, he was always my favorite

The pictures released might have been from an earlier build and physical based games need to be finished two to three months ahead. So in theory November is last month of development but a patch might fix the lighting and outlines

Finally someone make a vídeo about that

I was very confused for like 5 second when you said $80 not thinking oh this person probably uses different money

I'm also really excited but I agree, the outlines weird me out and I don't know why they're there

The game coming out in my birthday

I think what there going for with the outlines is like a picture book or like you said stickers.
