Today we're hearing from Shinya Kumazaki, the director of Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe.
"Hello! The two download-exclusive games Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe were just released. Excluding the Virtual Console games, these are the first titles in the Kirby franchise that are download exclusive. This was quite unexpected! These two titles are sequels to the two minigames in Kirby: Triple Deluxe that we beefed up by adding new stages and features. Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe is a rhythm-action game where King Dedede moves across the stage by bouncing on drums. In this game, you can jump higher by pressing the A button right when you land, so adjust the height of the jump to dodge obstacles, collect coins, and reach the goal—all while staying in rhythm. Kirby Fighters Deluxe is a battle-action game where you use Kirby's copy abilities. Multiple Kirbys duking it out together is a real dream come true. You can choose from 10 different copy abilities in this game. Choose your copy ability and stage, and then battle up to four players simultaneously. The stages and items are all featured from the Kirby series. We've designed the stages to feel familiar to Kirby fans and to introduce the world of Kirby to those that are playing a Kirby game for the first time. Both games have many features that we couldn't fit into the minigame format in the Kirby: Triple Deluxe version. We've adjusted detailed movements and game balance, and we've worked on these titles as if we were designing a new game from the ground-up. I really hope you'll enjoy playing both of these games!" There you have it! |

This time, the director of Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe will tell you more about these games.
"Hello! This is Shinya Kumazaki. We've worked really hard on these two games for six months after the release of Kirby: Triple Deluxe. We made them even better than the original minigames to ensure they deserved the title Deluxe added to their names. I hope both of these games will catch the attention of those who have played Triple Deluxe and those new to the game. The stages are all new in Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, and there's a wider variety of songs to choose from. In addition to significantly more stages, Kirby Fighters Deluxe has a new mode called Team Battles. There are a number of copy abilities you can use in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, and we hand-selected the abilities that match best for battles. There's close and long range attacks with the Beam ability, the technical Ninja ability, and placing and throwing bombs with the Bomb ability; we created a variety of abilities aiming to put fighting game characters to shame. Are any of your favorite abilities in this game's roster? I want to say my favorite is the new Archer ability.... But! My actual favorite ability allows you to make powerful blows at your opponents if timed correctly... The Hammer ability originated from King Dedede!" That's it for today! |

Today director Shinya Kumazaki will talk about Kirby Fighters Deluxe.
"Hello there. Kirby Fighters Deluxe is a fighting game filled with multiple Kirbys everywhere. The six new stages and the new boss battles added for Single Player mode are some of the new features in the game, but probably the biggest addition to this game is Team Battle mode. In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, you were only able to play against each other individually, but in this game, you can team up with other players, and even play against a team of three single-handedly! You can choose to play with different combinations such as 2 vs 2, 1 vs 1 vs 2, and 1 vs 3. Heat up your battles by using features added specifically for team battles, such as sharing effects from items with your teammates using Item Share and firing the Team Cannon. Get together with four friends with 2DS or 3DS systems and have fun playing battles where anything can happen! Also, if you have friends that don't own this game, they can join the battles by using Download Play. For those that have StreetPass data from Triple Deluxe on their system, they can even use the Bell and Beetle copy abilities and get an additional stage for this game! We've also added more features to Single Player mode. Unlike in Triple Deluxe, the final boss, who's also your biggest rival in the series, regains his dignity and returns to fight you. Not only does this character come back, he comes back as a team! His attacks are the same as in Kirby's Dream Land but stronger. You can choose your difficulty, but I hope you'll polish your copy ability techniques and challenge this boss on every level!" Thank you again, Kumazaki-san!

This time, the director will talk about Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe.
"Hello. Once again, this is Shinya Kumazaki. Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe...now that's a lot of D's! I wonder if there are any other games out there that have as many D's in their title as this one. This game's main character is quite literally Kirby's biggest rival, King Dedede. This is his inaugural game title, and he gets to be in the main spotlight. You must've waited a long 22 years until this day... Congratulations, your highness. This game has seven fresh, new stages that weren't in the Kirby: Triple Deluxe minigame. Triple Deluxe had three stages plus one hidden stage, so the number of stages has doubled. The earlier stages consist of songs selected from stages and boss battles from Triple Deluxe. I hope those that played Triple Deluxe will enjoy these stages. The songs in the second half were selected from classic titles like Kirby's Air Ride, Kirby Super Star, and from another title which is the perfect song for the climax of the game. The final song may be a little challenging, but you may recognize it from a certain final boss battle. I hope you'll have a chance to listen to it soon. The environment of the last boss stage matches well with the song, so it should get you fired up while you face your challenge. Songs and stages were newly designed and created for King Dedede's first game, so I hope those that have and haven't had a chance to play Kirby: Triple Deluxe will have fun playing this title!" That's all for today! |

This time, we hear from Hiroshi Ohnishi, the programming director of Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe:
"Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe was not only powered-up with new, revamped stages, but even things like the title screen and menus have gotten a makeover.
"And that’s not all! King Dedede's abilities have also been improved! "Unlike in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, when King Dedede falls off the drums, he will not immediately fail the stage! As long as he has some health left, with a little help from his new mysterious powers, he will be carried back onto the drum where you left off. Thanks to this feature, first-timers should be able to reach the Goal Drum more easily than in the last game. It’s a helpful feature for beginners, but it doesn't interfere with the experts...it’s a pretty nice addition, isn't it? "On the other hand, this means that as you get better at playing the game, you might take this new feature for granted. Even after you learned to clear every stage without falling, the programmers who added this feature will be happy if you'd remember what the game might be like without it." Wow, if you can jump back into the game after falling off the drums, even people like me that aren't the best at rhythm-action games should have fun playing! I hope you'll all give this game a try too! |

Today, we're hearing from Yumi Todo, the design director for the Team Cannon in Kirby Fighters Deluxe:
"In the new Team Battle stages in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, you can use an item called the Team Cannon. This is an item exclusive to Team Battle, where teammates can literally join together to charge and fire the cannon. By the way, do you get the feeling you may have seen the Team Cannon before? "That’s because the Team Cannon's design was based on Main Cannon #2 from the Halberd, which appears in Revenge of Meta Knight in Kirby Super Star Ultra. It's like a smaller, cuter version of Main Cannon #2, but don't judge it by its size and appearance. If you get hit by the Team Cannon, you'll receive a ton of damage! It's a nice item for you and your teammates to have, but when the opposing team gets a hold of it, be sure to get out of the way--quickly! "There are many other features like Item Share and classic stages that will definitely catch the attention of experienced Kirby game players. I hope you'll enjoy finding these familiar elements from other Kirby games." There you have it! |

This time, Dedede’s Drum Dash Deluxe lead level designer Yuki Endo will share a few things with us.
"Hello, I was in charge of designing and creating the levels for Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe. “There are seven brand-new levels in this game, and once you clear them, you’ll unlock a set of Secret Levels. If you count the Secret Levels with their added tricks and challenges along with the Normal Levels, there are a total of 14 levels to play. I hope you have fun playing them all! “This time, I’d like to talk about King Dedede's simplest, most basic move: his jump. “When you move King Dedede, he will jump from drum to drum automatically. Press the A Button right as he lands on a drum, and he'll do a medium-height High Jump. If you press the A Button at the right time when he lands from a High Jump, he'll do a Super Jump for maximum height. You’ll need to use all three of these jumps to collect all the coins and reach the Goal Drum. “One thing to keep in mind: you can’t do a High Jump right after you do a Super Jump. So, if you need to do a High Jump after a Super Jump, you’ll need to first do a normal jump, and then push the A Button at the right time to do a High Jump. It’s hard to explain this tip in words, but you’ll understand once you try it out in the game. Have fun tackling all the stages!" Thanks for the tips! |

Today, Mr. Kumazaki, the director, returns to tell us a little about Boss Battle stages in Kirby Fighters Deluxe:
"Hello there. In Single Player mode in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, there are new Boss Battle stages where you can not only fight other Kirbys, but also strong, challenging bosses. “In the version of the game in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, we wanted to emphasize that your worst enemy is yourself, so the final boss was a Shadow Kirby that had the same copy ability as you. However, in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, midway through your battles you'll have to fight Kracko (a regular boss in the Kirby series), and at the end you’ll face the mighty King Dedede. “I hope that you'll use different Copy Abilities and have fun trying to clear each round as fast as you can, as if you're playing a bonus stage with a time limit like in other fighting games! “By the way, you can also experience what it’s like to fight in Team Battle when you challenge Kracko. Like fighting with Helpers in the classic Kirby games, you can take down Kracko with an allied Kirby! Cooperate with each other by using Item Share and fighting together. Pay close attention to your partner Kirby’s moves. “Lastly, throughout the Kirby series, there's always a hidden stage with the letters HAL inside of it called the HAL Room...and we've hid one somewhere in this game as well. “Here's a hint: it's somewhere in the Boss Battle stage I introduced today... The rest is up to you, so good luck finding it!" It must be fun tackling the bosses with some help! Now I'm curious about where the HAL Room is located... I hope you'll keep your eyes open for the HAL Room while you are playing! |

This time, Sho Tajima, one of the programmers, will talk about Team Battles in Kirby Fighters Deluxe:
"Hello, I was in charge of programming Kirby and items in Kirby Fighters Deluxe. “One of the new highlights of Kirby Fighters Deluxe is the Team Battles. Of course, it’s fun to play with your friends, but it's also fun to team-up with computer-controlled (CPU) players. Today, I would like to talk about the CPU players in this mode. “In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, the CPU players were your opponents. It's already very helpful that they can fight alongside you in this game, but we've also improved their movement patterns in Kirby Fighters Deluxe to make them reliable helpers. “For example, CPU players will conveniently take advantage of Item Share, a crucial feature in Team Battles. When the CPU player grabs an item that could be shared, it will dash towards its ally so it can quickly use Item Share. “In addition, when a CPU player’s ally gets an item that can be shared, the CPU player will approach their ally and expect them to help by using Item Share. This behavior seems fitting for the friendly but always-hungry Kirby, doesn’t it? “When you fight alongside CPU players, pay attention to their movements and help each other out in battle. By learning to keep an eye on your allies and to cooperate with them, your results in Multiplayer games should also improve. " Thank you, Tajima-san. |
