The Kirby: Triple Deluxe mini-games are getting expanded.

A pair of Kirby-themed 3DS eShop games called Kirby Fighters Z and DeDeDe's Drum Dash Z are coming to Japan on July 23. Both are expanded versions of mini-games featured in the recent retail release Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

Kirby Fighters Z is a Smash Bros.-like fighting game that pits Kirbys against each other using different abilities. Players can choose between 12 abilities, two more than the mini-game in Triple Deluxe. However, the two new ones, Bell and Beetle, are only usable if StreetPass for Triple Deluxe is activated.

It will add five new stages, a team battle mode, and an expanded single-player mode complete with boss battles. Beating the single-player mode will unlock hats for Kirby and can even unlock Shadow Kirby as a playable character.

The second game, DeDeDe's Drum Dash Z, is a rhythm game that will feature 7 new stages (and harder versions of each stage). It will also add new mechanics, including drums that flip to reveal hazardous spikes in rhythm and coins that must be collected in order. Players unlock wearable masks throughout, though three of the masks (Kirby, Waddle Dee, and Meta Knight) are exclusive to players who have StreetPass on Triple Deluxe turned on.

Both games are coming out on July 23 in Japan for 750 yen (roughly $7) each. There is no word on a North American or European release yet, but it is likely both games will come over.

A couple of Japanese trailers for the games can be viewed below.

I don't own Kirby Triple Deluxe, but I can certainly see myself buying DeDeDe's Drum Dash Z
