Virtual Console™ on Wii U™ Special Kirby Offer

Classic Kirby™ titles for Wii U – Nintendo announces the release of three classic Kirby titles for the Wii U console: Kirby's Dream Land™ 3, Kirby's Dream Course™ and Kirby Super Star™.

As a bonus for fans, we're making it easy to get them all at a great price.

Simply purchase two games from the Nintendo eShop on Wii U to get the third for free.

This offer ends at 9 a.m. PT on May 30, 2013.

Kirby's Dream Land™ 3 – Kirby, Dream Land's resident hero (and everyone's favorite puffball), must once again save the day when the mischievous King Dedede starts causing trouble.

Kirby must travel through an assortment of levels, battling an exotic array of enemies (both new and familiar) determined to stop him from completing his mission.

Always armed with his trusty ability to swallow enemies and gain special attacks, Kirby can also unite with some of his animal friends and make use of their particular talents.

Featuring detailed graphics, challenging boss battles, and the distinct charm of a Kirby game, it's no wonder this title is considered a classic.
(For the Nintendo Wii U)

Kirby's Dream Course™ – Step up to the tee for the wackiest golf game of your life.

This one- or two-player game features a floating golf course in the sky. High above Dream Land, players can pitch and putt the ever-popular puffball, Kirby, through a maze of obstacles on a zany checkerboard course.

Players must aim for the multitude of enemies that are spread throughout each fairway.

Kirby's Copy Abilities return in this installment and these must be put to good use in order to complete a level objective. Hit all of the enemies to make them disappear, and the last one becomes the hole.

Sink Kirby into the hole to advance to the next stage as you clear all eight courses—64 holes in all.
(For the Nintendo Wii U)

Kirby Super Star™ – In Kirby Super Star, the iconic round, pink hero will have to journey through six main games and two mini-games, finishing with the ultimate showdown in the Arena, to defeat King Dedede.

That awful King Dedede is at it again - he's stolen all the food in Dream Land! It's up to Kirby to get it back and ultimately save Popstar from being taken over!

Each game offers its own story and variation of platforming action, as well as unique environments and an assortment of enemies.

Swallowing an enemy allows Kirby to copy the abilities of that enemy, granting him the power to perform special attacks and giving him a new hat to don.

Kirby can also give up an acquired ability and use it to create a helper. The helper will follow Kirby around and automatically fight as his ally - or offer a second player the chance to join in the game by controlling it.

There's never a dull moment as Kirby dashes, flies, and fights!
