Kirby Fighters Z and DeDeDe’s Drum Dash Z Will Release For The Japanese 3DS eShop

Two mini-games from Kirby: Triple Deluxe will find a new home on the Japanese 3DS eShop later this month. Kirby Fighters Z and King DeDeDe’s Drum Dash Z will be available to purchase as stand-alone titles on July 23 for the delightful price of 750 yen each (just over $7 / €5). Given how well the cute-as-a-button platformer sold in Japan, the stand-alone mini-games should provide newcomers with a solid Kirby experience, or long-standing pink puffball fans with new content to enjoy.

Kirby Fighters Z – a Kirby-themed Smash Bros mini-game where you must defeat other Kirby CPUs with a chosen ability – will feature a number of brand new levels, along with two new abilities from Kirby’s latest adventure: the Bell and Beetle power-ups. On the other hand, if DeDeDe’s Drum Dash Z is the rhythm game choice for you, expect to see 14 new levels which are trickier and require much more skill.

It’s currently unknown whether the updated mini-games will release for the western 3DS eShop, but given their appeal on the platformer, would you be willing to purchase them for a small price with new content? Let us know in the comments below.
