That does look fun! I'm glad they didn't cancel this after all, just renamed it.
I just have a question about the subtitle. Nothing wrong with it really, but Kirby's never really left Dreamland. I mean, not truly. Even in the games where Kirby travels the Cosmos, he still always starts off in Popstar, or is Popstar considered separate from Dreamland? I dunno, somehow it seems a lot like if a Mario game in the future got titled "Return to Mushroom Kingdom".

You're right, but this is pretty much the first major Kirby platformer since Kirby 64 (Epic Yarn is only sort of a Kirby game after all), so it's been a while... I assume it's a reference to that more than anything. So it's sort of like "New Super Mario Bros." perhaps, title-wise? :)

I dunno, Epic Yarn was different, but in all the ways that count it felt like a Kirby game to me.

But Kirby doesn't even swallow things in the game, and I think that Nintendo said that the game started out with the other character as the main character, and they added in Kirby during development...

He gets abilities and he can still inhale, it just does something different this time. Heck the copying abilities thing wasn't even in the first Kirby game.
