''Return to Dream Land'' marks the end of the attempt at a new main ''Kirby'' console game to follow ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. Three games were developed throughout the 2000s which each took ''Kirby'' in a different direction. The first attempted game was announced for the [[Gamecube]] in 2005. It followed a style similar to ''Kirby 64'' while adding four-player cooperative multiplayer. The developers had trouble with the multiplayer, and although the game seemed to be moved up to the Wii, it was soon canceled. Two more attempts were tried over the following years, one which placed Kirby in a free-roaming 3-D environment while another was a side-scrolling platformer with a pop-up motif and more cartoonish graphics.

In the meantime, Nintendo was able to convince [[Feel Good]] to use Kirby for their new game, which resulted in the development of ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' for the Wii. However, a fourth attempt was made at a tradtional ''Kirby'' game which succeeded. ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' was based more on the classic games while using some ideas leftover from the three canceled titles (such as Super Abilities and the four-player gameplay).
