Kirby And The Forgotten Land Updated To Version 1.1.0, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

im excited to play this game before air riders’ i skipped out in 2022 for some reason but now ill probably get it next month! love to see more love for our pink puffball 🩷

This is Forgotten Land's first update, over three years later 🤣. Anyway, we're all getting close to Star-Crossed World, just a bit longer now!

Here's hoping it doesn't need $300+ in peripherals to use the Switch 2 Version like Jamboree does.

@shoeses It's a platformer, not a party game. You'll be fine.

Here's praying they didn't fix the Toy Hammer glitch.

I'm guessing the famous glitch was fixed now, so we can't have ten bajillion Chaos Elfilis anymore. lol

I want to ask about performance boost on Switch 2 machine if I already have physical cartridge of Switch 1 version for this Kirby game.
Will I get 60 fps on Switch 2 machine if I already have the Switch 1 version in physical?

Nice.
Also, that is kind of testament to the quality of the game straight out of the gate that it hasn't needed fixes all this time. Most games get a day 1 patch!

Been playing it again the past few days in anticipation of the DLC. While I have 100 percented it, the only thing outstanding was a few of the best time goals on the Treasure Roads. Should probably save till I can play them in even more glory, but eh. Having fun with it! Thankfully, the goals were not mandatory for the 100 percent clear. All you get is 50 coins for doing them, but can be a fun challenge.

@Anti-Matter Yeah if you buy the upgrade DLC then playing from your Switch 1 cartridge will run it at 60fps on Switch 2.

@Mana_Knight I bought it back in 2022, but never played this, so I'll be selling the physical copy I have and bought the S2 one instead.

I'm excited, as I understand it's a great game and the new release should be even better. Did you enjoy it, and is there any level of challenge especially when going for the full completion?

@Ellie-Moo You are in for a real treat...and an enhanced one at that! I love it. One of my favorite Switch games and my second favorite Kirby game (I think Funpack/Superstar just slightly edges it out for me due to nostalgia).

Oh, yes. Going for 100 percent is a real challenge. The biggest challenge, in my view, are the boss fights that require zero damage being taken. Those are going to take quite a few attempts to get right!

There are also some deceptively fiendish mini games you can play in Waddle Dee Town that you need to beat at hard mode to get the 100 percent. One that requires tilting the Switch to move Kirby like a ball around mazes across narrow platforms and another that requires serving food to a crowd of Waddle Dees.

An easier, though time-consuming, part of reaching 100 percent is figure collecting. There’s a Gacha bubble gum like machine in town that dispenses random Kirby figure toys, which may or may not be ones you need! You have to grind coins in the levels or by fishing/finding them in town/across the world map in order to use the Gacha machine.

Others can be earned by trading with the trader who visits town or by completing various objectives in levels and mini-games. It’s all great fun, though!

The crazy thing about Forgotten Land getting a patch is that it's one of the few, if not the only, notable game releases in recent years to never have received a patch. Nintendo really playtest the hell out of their titles!

@Mana_Knight Sounds lovely, thank you, and with a big expansion on top I'll be in 'dream land'. 😊

Breath of the Wild has given me a good glimpse and how a Switch 2 Edition can greatly improve a game, and I hope we see more of these announced, like Kirby Star Allies and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which still only run at 30 FPS during gameplay.

@KayFiOS
Star allies was definitely one i was hoping to get a 60fps patch since from what i gather its one of the few if only kirby sidescrollers to run at 30 (though i think 64 may have run at 30 too) considering the wii and even 3ds games were running at 60 (i think it was due to some of the more fancy lighting effects star allies has) i remember while i didnt notice it much on release going back to star allies after playing return to dreamland deluxe definitely made it more noticeable.

Hmm, I wonder if this actually does anything to the Switch version..

@OctolingKing13 I loved it and hope you will too!

Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star Crossed World is now 16.6 GB total size .... NS2E + SCW is 10 GB ON ITS OWN!! Just how much extra content did they add?!?!

@N00BiSH I know, but they still should disclose stuff that that ahead of time in the future.

Luckily there will be a upgrade pack for people who have the original, so when I have a Switch 2 someday I can just go for the upgrade-pack!

Does the Switch 2 version run at 60fps ?

@h3s Yeah, it does. Along with the new content, that's the draw of the Switch 2 version, a resolution and frame rate bump. And unlike certain other Switch 2 versions (like Mario Party Jamboree), the base game gets this benefit as well.
