The Wii was a popular console in its day, but many gamers skipped it due to its low-definition nature and prominent waggle controls. Thus, it's good to see that Nintendo has remade 2011's formerly Wii- and WIi U-exclusive, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, on the much shinier and more powerful Nintendo Switch. Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe brings back the 2.5D platformer with improved visuals, a new epilogue, new transformations, and the always welcome 4-player local co-op.

Ah, fall (in the Northern Hemisphere)... the weather starts to cool, the leaves begin to change, and the holiday video game releases loom on the horizon. While the start of summer typically marks developers and publishers hyping up the gaming community with big announcements for what's to come in a year (or two or three) via digital presentations and "Keigh3," the fall is when we usually get teasers of more immediate releases. For example, the September Nintendo Direct dropped yesterday and not only did it finally give a full name and release date for the next Zelda game (The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, May 12, 2023), but there are four new co-op games, two remastered co-op games, and one existing co-op title that are coming to the Switch within the next 6 months.
