[The Wheel of Fortune]

In this new unforgettable 3D platforming adventure, Kirby explores a mysterious world full of abandoned structures from a past civilization. What surprises await the pink puffball? #Kirby and the Forgotten Land releases Spring 2022!



Looks fantastic IMO!

[Maiden Voyage]

Looks good from what was shown. I’ll keep an eye on it as release draws near.

 

[born free]

So dope. I've always wanted a true 3D Kirby adventure game. Kirby air ride was fun but this looks way better.

 

[YukiOnna]

It feels like it's been so long since a new Kirby game. Still my favourite Nintendo IP!

 

[PlayedStation]

Well definitely adding this to my list of 2022 games. Hopefully BOTW2 shows up next year as well...

 

[sublimit]

That was really nice. Definitey on my list.

 

[Banjo64]

Can I just highlight again that Banjo is coming to NSO? Why stop there unless this was agreed when the Smash deal was made. Hope all N64 Rare games end up on it (probably minus Goldeneye due to licensing). Give us Donkey Konga 64 you frauds.

 

[Bragr]

A full-blown 3D platformer, interesting.

 

[BlackTron]

A surprisingly no BS looking, authentically Kirby game in 3D. Not bad.

Holy shit I wish I could say the above about SO many other N franchises instead though lol.

 

[FStubbs]

Truest sign the Switch's successor is on the way lol.

Game looks good though.

 

[SALMORE]

i never been this excited about a Kirby game before looks fun

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

my highlight. Didn't expect them to do a 3D Kirby game. Took them long enough.

 

[YoshiMadness]

Easily the best announcement from the Direct. This is gonna be awesome!

 

[CamHostage]

Like the Kirbymari Damacy porcupine power. (Plus, big-eye surprise Kirby is cute.)

Visually simple, but should be fun.

 

[NahaNago]

I thought it would look better.

 

[Astral Dog]

Kirby + The Last of Us

 

[Astral Dog]

Its not the 3D Donkey Kong i wanted but Kirby needed a 3D adventure as well and it looks awesome!

 

[YukiOnna]

Kirby is cute. Just realized for the 100th time.

 

[TLZ]

The highlight of the show.

 

[Fbh]

Haven't been interested in Kirby in a long time. But this actually looks pretty good

 

[Synless]

I have a soft spot for Kirby games. I like the Mario 3D World/Land approach they took. I’ll be there day one.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Awesome. Day 1.
Next year I wanna see a Donkey Kong 3D

 

[yurinka]

The Last of Kirby looks good.

 

[YukiOnna]

The Last of Kirby looks good.

Kirby and Meta Knight travel across a fictional Pittsburgh set in Planet Popstar...

Kirby and Meta Knight travel across a fictional Pittsburgh set in Planet Popstar...

Kirby gets tortured and murdered in the intro by an ugly female Wii Music NPC, who replaces Kirby as the pink protagonist who likes to swallow stuff.

 

[Punished Miku]

Game of the show!

 

[Bonfires Down]

Move over Naughty Dog. We have a new post-apocalyptic champion.

Spoiler: TLOU2 spoiler

 

[Dick Jones]

 

[Mr Hyde]

When I first saw the trailer I was like "yeah, fuck this", but upon rewatching I might have dismissed it a wee bit hasty. It actually looks very good. And fun. Kirby has never appealed to me but this might be the first time he managed to raise one of my eyebrows. Gonna keep a close watch to this.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

It'll be just as good as Wario World.

 

[SpongebobSquaredance]

It'll be just as good as Wario World.

 

[sublimit]

The Last of Kirby looks good.

I was thinking the same thing lol

 

[SF Kosmo]

I don't think post apocalyptic open world Kirby was was something I knew I needed before watching this trailer, but here we are and I think I'm in.

 

[RainblowDash]

Finally a 3D Kirby!!!

 

[Bakkus]

It's nice that Kirby finally gets a 3D game; What's not as nice is that he seems to lack any new features in his moveset. The gameplay was drastically changed when Mario, Zelda and Metroid went 3D. This? No change seemingly other than it being in 3D. The level design and visuals also look pretty meh.

 

[Buggy Loop]

Didn’t know I needed Kirby Automata in my life.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Madaline is gonna beat waddle dee with a golf club in the beginning

 

[Notabueno]

Not convinced at all. Looks rough as of now, but so do all games from the Direct. Is the Switch REALLY starting to get obsolete in terms of graphics?

 

[Jeff Spicoli]

Nicest surprise of the Direct.
Looks good and fun!

 

[IKSTUGA]

Haven't bought a Kirby game in like 10 years, but this one looks cool.

 

[carlosrox]

This is what I've always wanted from Kirby.

This will be my first purchased Kirby game ever.

 

[01011001]

finally a 3D Kirby game after what feels like 200 2D games!

and stop besmirching Kirby's name by comparing his games to shit like TLoU please... our little pink ball doesn't deserve such heresy!

Nintendo games never show the full extent of gameplay mechanics in the first trailer. Mario Odyssey's first trailer didn't even show the capture mechanic for ex which is at the center of most interactions. I'd be very surprised if we saw everything Kirby is capable of in this trailer.

Yup. Nintendo has definitely been doing this thing for years now where their first trailers for their games are basically just announcement trailers that show little of what the game has to offer.

Basically trailer 2 or 3 is where they really start to show what the game will be like.

 

[rubenburgt]

Hold on a second.
Is it really a full 3D game?
Not a 2D or a 2.5D game?

That's awesome!

 

[ParaSeoul]

The Switch finally gets its third good first party game.

 

[daclynk]

Not convinced at all. Looks rough as of now, but so do all games from the Direct. Is the Switch REALLY starting to get obsolete in terms of graphics?

every Nintendo game first reveal doent always look great visually but they just polished b4 lunch. I can believe people always forgets this.

 

[Cutty Flam]

Nothing like a good Kirby game
Or a good Yoshi game

Kirby and the Forgotten Land kind of reminds me of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards with a bit of what Super Mario Odyssey did with Mario

 

[carlosrox]

This really looks great. Excited!
