Kira Kira Star Night DX: another Famicom game coming to Japan in July

24 May 2016 Lite_Agent Japan, Kira Kira Star Night DX

Kira Kira Star Night DX is a new game coming to Japan in July. But it’s not for the Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS. It’s not for the Nintendo DS or the Wii either. It’s for… the Famicom (NES)! Based on the trailer below, it seems to be a sidescrolling 2D platformer, where you have to catch little stars moving around the screen. But the most interesting aspect of the game seems to be its music.

Indeed, Kira Kira Star Night DX will feature music by famous composers, such as:
