Kirby and the Forgotten Land - US Version

I been avid Kirby fan since SNES, called Super Family Computer back in my country. I have played almost every release of HAL Laboratory's pink creation, almost with passion. Kirby Superstar always was one of my favorite Nintendo 1st party title. But as I got older and I moved onto PS2 and GBA, fact Kirby stayed 2D even when Mario was getting 2.5 and 3D treatment was slowly baffling me. Then, one day, for GameCube, a E3 demo surfaced. One that featured my favorite pink cute creature, running around saving Dream Land! I was awed! I loved it! I really wanted it! It would have given me reasons to buy GameCube, which I held off on, because I was getting distant from Zelda titles (which I still care 0 for), and only game I grew interest in became MGS Twin Snakes, which I highly recommend. I waited forever for the title to release. From 2005, we fast-forward, now we're here. Now, I'm fully aware this game has been built from the scratch, not related to this beautiful game at all. And it's long been confirmed that the GCN and possible Wii edition that it may have existed all went in dumpster only after being in development hell for 11 years. BUT. YOU HAVE NO FREAKING IDEA HOW MUCH THE WORLD NEEDED THIS GAME. Every platformer copy steal ability game lands itself beautifully to our wonderful pinkball here. And Kirby is here to rightfully take that back from you. Or suck it out of you. Right out of the box, game plays short cutscene and there's 0 punch holding. You're taken straight into the tutorial, reminded of the familiar controls. And then WHAT?! I CAN BE A CAR KIRBY NOW?! And the area can beautifully demolishable just as how previous Kirby games have been, has platform area that you can fall and oof into, just as previous Kirby games have been, but this formula finally got re-perfected in the name of our Holy Pinkness finally fit for the generation that only knows Kirby as that Super Smash Bros. character that is annoying to fight against. Now I will add back that I have only been playing for about 1h, but this new game almost plays like a journey. You're finding out conspiracy on how you ended up in this Forgotten Land, accompanied by beautiful Japanese song (that probably is definitely the first one!), great orchestra-based OST, and did I mention that Car Kirby is freaking adorable? I heard he has few or form and I'm very eager to find out rest of them. If you're long fan of older Kirby titles, I am wondering why you're reading my reviews instead of already snagging this title. It feels like nothing new for first few minutes, but that's some of the beauty of the Kirby series. The gameplay feels like something you can jump back into almost any time, even if you haven't played Kirby game since Kirby Superstar. But there's enough new tricks introduced to keep you busy and wondering around the new Forgotten Land for good few hours. Considering last Kirby title was fairly short and took me only about 3 days of casual play to get near 100% completion, I'm hoping this one has far more to offer, which it already has. If you played a lot of platformer, this new Kirby title will keep you busy some time, it got some easy puzzles and here and there moment of "wait why is that there?!" moments. I think I mentioned Car Kirby is freaking cute already? Lol. So far, 100/100. I haven't had so much fun with games lately, and this one definitely hits the spot. I love you Kirby. And please don't let my spouse find out I'm cheating on them over Kirby.

irby and the Forgotten Land is a delightful addition to the beloved Kirby series. The game follows Kirby as he explores a mysterious new land and restores its lost colors, battling enemies and using his signature ability to inhale and copy their abilities along the way. One of the standout features of Kirby and the Forgotten Land is its vibrant, colorful graphics. The game's environments and characters are beautifully animated, with a wide range of colors and effects that really bring the game to life. The game's soundtrack is also a highlight, with a mix of upbeat tunes and soothing melodies that perfectly complement the action on screen. In terms of gameplay, Kirby and the Forgotten Land offers a good balance of challenge and accessibility. The game's controls are intuitive and responsive, making it easy to navigate the levels and defeat enemies. Kirby can also use a variety of power-ups and abilities, such as the new "Link" ability that allows him to team up with enemies and use their abilities together. The game also includes a multiplayer mode, allowing up to two players to team up and explore the Forgotten Land together. Another nice touch in Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the inclusion of hidden collectibles and secrets to discover. Throughout the game, players can find hidden treasures and unlockable content, adding an extra layer of replayability to the game. One minor issue I had with the game was the somewhat repetitive nature of some of the levels. While the game does introduce new enemies and challenges as you progress, some of the early levels can feel a bit same-y after a while. However, this is a minor complaint, and overall the game is still very enjoyable. Overall, I would highly recommend Kirby and the Forgotten Land to fans of the series, as well as anyone who enjoys platforming games. The game's charming story, vibrant graphics, and fun gameplay make it a must-play for fans of the pink puffball. Whether you're a seasoned Kirby veteran or a newcomer to the series, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is sure to provide hours of enjoyment.

fun game 🥹

2 ND time buying it. Kirby is awesome the kids love it. Have 7 yr old son and 10 yr old daughter. I had get another one so don't have arguments who going to play

This game goes places- what a wild ride. Nintendo knocked it out of the park with this one and dare is say, this is even better of a switch title than Mario Odyssey. I hope the team is hard at work at a follow up.

So cute! I loved playing kirby as a kid, I finally passed that down by getting this for my son on his 6th birthday. He beat the game in 5 days!!! Definitely some hard parts but nothing he couldnt figure out. Graphics are great and smooth, everything is so cute. I love it.

Very fun game, I got this for my 5 year old kid and the best part is that it's very easy to pick up and play multiplayer with the click of a button so I can enhance the experience for my kid by playing with them. For my 5 year old, it's very easy to play yet challenging enough for them to stay interested. The game has a a lot of unique charm & cuteness that can be adores by anyone.

I'll admit that I bought this game for myself as much as I did for my 5-year old. I've loved Kirby since the original Kirby's Dream Land on the Game Boy (yes, I'm that old), played several of the titles since, and I think this was the best one yet. It's a little more mature and better suited for an adult who just wants to play a fun, light game, but still presents a challenge. I played it all the way through to 100% completion on the harder mode. In order to get that 100%, you have to do some pretty challenging tasks, like defeat every boss without taking any damage, including the final boss, serve food at the snack shop in town to angry, impatient customers (much harder than you'd think a side mini game should be), catch a giant fish, and go through the hardest setting in the battle arena. It's one of those games that isn't so impossibly hard that it's frustrating, but presents enough of a challenge that it feels like an accomplishment. I also played it through, though not to 100%, with my 5-year old daughter. She has played Mario Kart and Mario Party in the past, but this was very different. She and her 3-year old brother both loved it. It has the perfect "little helper" mode where you can have Bandana Waddle Dee join Kirby to assist, but other than going through doors, player 2 can't actually get in the way or cause any trouble. If they stray too far or fall behind, Bandana Waddle Dee just gets teleported right back next to Kirby. If he gets injured, Kirby can give him a high five to give back some health (with a recover period), and if he dies, he just gets a short time out and then player 2 can jump right back into the game. It was a great experience for her, as a learner, to get the idea or how game control works and moving in 3D space. There is a decent story line that goes along with the game and my sensitive 3-year old was actually quite upset with first ending because you don't fully rescue everyone. Several hours after my daughter and I finished the game, he was crying hysterically ("I don't like the end of Kirby!") after I had put him to bed because he was so upset about this. Fortunately, I was able to convince him that it wasn't completely over and we would finish it out and get that final rescue in a couple of days.

Super fun and one of the best Kirby games ever made!

GOOD PRODUCT AND FAIR PRICE

Awesome!

Gostei bastante desse jogo, deu para me divertir por um bom tempo e ainda não terminei de coletar tudo que o jogo oferece. Acho que é o primeiro jogo do kirby com movimentação tridimensional e ficou muito bom. Kirby tem o poder de copiar a habilidade de quase todos os inimigos que engole. Não é mundo aberto, o jogo é dividido em mundos com umas 5 fases cada, fora os desafios nos quais você coleta uns cristais utilizados para melhorar as habilidades de cópia.

Excelente producto
