Topic: Kirby and the Forgotten Land

@kkslider5552000 I liked the one on Wii U. Unique gameplay and visuals. 64 was the best in terms of mechanics. The rest are kinda boring. Epic Yarn had nice visuals, but the gameplay wasn't any different from any other Kirby game.

This is just a factually incorrect statement.

Yoshi's Woolly World is what I wanted Kirby's Epic Yawn Yarn to be. The Yoshi game was a really satisfying platformer underneath the childish visuals, much like the SNES game it's the spiritual successor to. Epic Yarn, on the other hand, just felt like a game designed for small children.

Nothing about the new Kirby game blows me away so far, but it looks like it's going to be a beautiful, fun platformer nonetheless, and I'm happy to see it supports local co-op, as I can't wait to run through this with my Kirby-obsessed nephew.

Still, it's going to have to put in a bit of work to impress me more than Planet Robobot did, which is, to date, my favorite game in the series.

I honestly think it looks great thematically/aesthetically. Star Allies was looked pretty but played it safe with standard plains, fire, beach, etc. themes, while it seems that the "post apocalyptic" bent in Forgotten Land is game wide & going to breath new life into those same tropes (similar to how Planet Robobot felt fresh by mechanizing everything).

The only thing that looks to have "standard" theming is the hub area (and the opening cutscenes). I don't think it'll have any sort of game wide gameplay twist (like the Robobot mech), but honestly I think the transition to 3D will be fresh enough (maybe there's changes to how long you can fly & other stuff like that).

@Ralizah I will not disagree that its so dead easy that its boring, but I just have too many memory's with it to dislike it, even tho when I did play the 3ds port (Demo) I was pretty bored.

CARBY CARBY CARBY

Just notice this game has 2 player. I did a quick search of the forum and didn’t see anything mentioned. So… anyone seen or heard or have expectations on how this will work? Real 2 player or Mario odyssey 2 player (the hat didn’t really count, except for playing with young kid IMO)?

@Pirate1 Player 2 will be Waddle Dee

@NinChocolate Haha great idea, mate. I can't wait for the game, thank you

@NinChocolate I completely forgot today was the first day of March.... why is this year going by so quick.

....Playing Robobot for the first time now, might as well buy it digitally before Nintendo kills the eShop for 3DS. The new game has put me in a Kirby mood and for some reason I skipped out on the last 3DS game, so, yeah. xD

@Joeynator3000 Enjoy, Robobot is incredible! 🎉

@NinChocolate I am impressed by the amount of effort you have put into this calendar! Incredible work!

From what I played in the Demo, Kirby in 3D just feels and plays just like a Kirby game. Doesn't feel a whole lot diffetent.

Have tried the demo and here is my thought.
1. The game was running in smooth 30 fps.
2. Camera angle was fixed.
3. The game was using game engine like on PS3 game technology which the detail of some objects will changed depend on your distance to that object.
4. It felt like I was playing Skylanders with Kirby character.
5. I used type 2 controller configuration as I usually press Y button (Square button) to attack and B button (Cross button) to jump in 3D platformer games i played on PlayStation machines.

Super excited to play the demo. Will definitely be giving my thoughts on it later. This site's first impressions gave me a lot of hope for this game, though.

Great demo. I wants more.

Fantastic demo, extremely fun and creative, music is banging, god why is it so short I want MOOOOOOOOORE.

I too was elated about the demo coming out, but I am a bit disappointed that I couldn't get it to download from my laptop. I had no problems with doing that with the Triangle Strategy demo, but this one wasn't working. Oh well. I'm definitely downloading when I get home this evening.

On a random note, does the demo have co-op? I'm already hoping to pick it up on day one, but having a chance to play it beforehand with my girlfriend would be icing on the cake!

Yes actually! Bandana Dee is available in the demo in co-op!
