I wish I bought an snes mini at launch. I really want one lately and it's now double or more in price. I wish Nintendo would re-release the mini consoles.

Dreamland is way too low imo...

@Giancarlothomaz that would be exciting

GO KIRBY. Keep it up. I hope it does better then Star Allies in the long run. It really is a great new 3D entry.

For me I definitely want to replay Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and Omega Factor!!

Well, guess I’m getting back into Tetris!

Kirby is pure concentrated serotonin to the brain. Absolute joy 🥹

He’s only white In the west but In Japan he was pink on the game cart for Dreamland. It would be neat tho. I do have one Kirby plush that is like grey, gameboy style Kirby.

I ended up pre-ordering it! I'm so excited. I am selling other Kirby merch to be able to afford it.

I'm really debating getting this. It's incredible merch and can always be sold again if ya need the money back. I just don't know that it would be very responsible of me to throw down now lol

Ha I just ordered this! It's cute. Will use it on my trips to the store for little things.

GREAT JOB KIRBY

@Anachronism I remember Meteos and it's legit my fave puzzle game. SO ADDICTIVE

@HammerGalladeBro He doesn't talk about games much online. Just post screen caps and articles. He did say in an interview he was thrilled for new Kirby and is proud that Kirby is so versatile that he imagines many different developers would want to work on a Kirby game. He also did congratulate Kirby and the Forgotten Land's release on twitter. I'm sure contrary to what some stubborn fans think, he's quite proud that interest in Kirby had been maintained. We know he owns games like Triple Deluxe in his collection directed by Kumazaki. They are also pictured together and seem to be on good terms. Not long ago I saw Kumazaki likeing Sakurai's post on Instagram. So I imagine he's into it even if he's nostalgic or more comfortable talking about his own works.

SNES seems like the coolest system honestly. Games and the development at that time seems the most interesting to learn about.

@Purgatorium Kirby yes, Lego no

Darn. Was hoping Kirby would stay on there but I forget how big Lego toys are and Star Wars is. Just not what I think of when I think gaming tho. I'm just that way with licensed games.

Still Kirby has sold well so far and can't wait to see US numbers as well

So cute. I love the artwork. Wonder if they will put out the books.

Alright Kirby!!! I hope it can retain for longer.

No Kirby on Kirby month!? Wow. Really was thinking it was gonna be Kirby64. Oh well!

Kirby is not a bad guy at all. Just the cute protagonist of a very cute platformer series. It can not be helped.

So happy for Kirby’s success. The news is awesome. Replaying the game with my mom and played the post game with a friend. Getting a lot out of it too from others also enjoying it.

I LOVE Green Greens so of course I enjoy these other renditions.

YES 👏. Fave game, gets a Grammy from my fave franchise, on the 30th anniversary year of Kirby. THIS IS TRULY THE YEAR OF KIRBY CONGRATS 🎉

@Ladasta HAL has expanded with a portion of the company dedicated to merchandising and art for Kirby. Kirby has been really expanding into cute home, clothes, jewelry, etc goods. I wouldn't be surprised if this helped fund Forgotten Land. HAL just went full Hello Kitty with Kirby.

@RendoFonzarelli if you can only enjoy sandbox and open world style platformers then hard to recommend. As someone who very much enjoyed the concentrated platforming and adventuring of more linear games like Mario 3D Land or Galaxy 2, Forgotten Land was still super delightful. If you dislike those mentioned titles tho then, yeah. Don’t get it. You know yourself. I like Open World games sometimes and sometimes I just prefer to get straight to the point. I’m open to either depending on the mood.

Well deserved. HAL has finally transitioned in more ways then just 3D. With a title that has greater appeal, greater ambition, and greater numbers. This game is HUGE for the franchise and hopefully a good sign for all new Kirby to come. I can see Kirby sky rocketing in greater popularity beyond his kawaii appeal. I’m seeing all kinds of friends who have not bought a Kirby game in years or ever buy one show interest in the game. Good job, HAL

Love Kirby and the Forgotten Land!

I thought the best reveals for the later smash characters was Banjo, Sephiroth, and Kazuya. Those were the most thrilling, fun trailers and characters imho. I guess Joker was interesting too given the setting at the game awards.

Yeeeeeeeess I'm so happy 😊 This game is stunning and absolutely deserves it 👏

Alright maybe Kirby can get a GOTY year nom

I’m a big fan of the franchise and this title is peak modern Kirby. Very polished, very imaginative, and a blast.

YEAAAAH KIRBY. Forgotten Land is incredible!

@nowthisisepic it's not as big as Odyssey. Odyssey had bigger sandbox areas. Kirby is more linear but there's still plenty through out the levels and missions to complete. Some of them even pretty challenging. It's doesn't have the scope of an Odyssey but I'm perfectly fine with that. Its more concentrated in a way. To me it's VERY fun and I loved Odyssey. Replayed Odyssey various times and see myself revisiting this game as well. Also it is the same level of whimsy and charm of Odyssey. There's a lot of richness to Forgotten Land that will fill you with wonder and put a smile on your face and that charm is exactly like Odyssey IMHO. I'm loving it!

If you strictly looking for bigger Sandbox or more open world design then hard to recommend but if you're looking for one of the best 3D platformers on the console that's more contracted fun, with plenty to collect or perfect, and that high level of charm and polish then its definitely one of the best on the Switch.

@Crockin yeah I hate the whole nostalgia disqualification as if most of the ppl who are KSSU fans aren't under 25 and many of them played KSSU as their first Kirby game. There's always gonna be bias when you play any game first. Fans of newer games aren't exempt from this just because their first game came out later.

@clianvXAi yeah I would still put all those games and shows in that category. I think ppl just believe their own politics are neutral and everything else is shoved down their throats. I'll leave it at that 😏

@Chocobo_Shepherd media and stories have always had politics. You really think Wolfenstien, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Bioshock aren't political? Lol

@somnambulance yeah I'm playing and enjoying Elden Ring but Kirby is definitely my GOTY. Maybe I'm a biased Kirby fan but tbh Elden Ring is more Dark Souls with a big and impressive map but the feel is still very familiar and the balance is odd according to many. Also I still just prefer Sekiro. Kirby on the other hand is a blast so far, whimsical, magical, and a complete breath of fresh air to its respective franchise. It's straight up made me smile with its world and gameplay. It's not as brutal but some of the challenges are actually really tough like the no hit boss missions and best times. So it still has a feeling of accomplishment. I'm having a blast. I really hope it gets some recognition atleast.

Kirby is a well timed release given all that is happening. It’s also well timed after extremely demanding titles like Elden Ring. It’s like the breath exhalation we needed. I doubt it will see the numbers that Animal Crossing New Horizons has but It still came at a good time for me.

@Crockin I prefer the og too and I didn’t even play the game until college so it’s not like I have childhood nostalgia over it. I get tired of KSSU fans insisting the ONLY reason anyone would prefer the original is nostalgia lol it’s quite dismissive and ignores the things KSS does do well. It’s got the most convenient co-op that is in the spirit of the game, I prefer the music, the character sprites for Kirby, the pixel art cutscenes, the stars being harder to grab, the aggressive nature of the enemies, and I love the impact of the game. (Which to me is a valid reason to like video games. To also appreciate the context in which it was developed and it’s contributions and to think that’s awesome.) I used to like KSSU more then KSS too but in recent years have switched back because I just replay KSS way more. It feels like the right length and easy to just play and casually pick a mode, and go. Now it even has online co-op or a joy-con to pass on to a 2nd player. I’ve recently replayed the game with a friend and even my mother. It was such a blast. I LOVE KSSU as well. I think it is a polished remake and it does make some cool improvements like the backgrounds, some colors, and the fanservice is great. The Kabula fight and masked Dedede fight are awesome but I just feel less compelled to whip out my ds to play it and just play KSS more. That’s not just nostalgia x.x Both are great imho but I honestly just play KSS more

@Not_Soos Marx and Magolor are definitely alive. Shinya Kumazaki said he escaped at the last moment. he returned to building amusement levels in the 20th anniversary game and Dedede Drum Dash. Marx survived in Star Allies but but hard to say why and how lol. It was never explained but tbh I love Marx so I’m okay with it. I really like the characters so I’m okay with these two. They are also just generally popular.
.

@RubyCarbuncle yeah I’d ignore that mess and just go by release order.

@westman98 I really don’t understand the bottom timeline lol at first I thought it was the timeline for Kirby games with no power but games like Air Ride and Dreamcourse have powers

Also this timeline is wild. There’d be another timeline branching off Kirby Super Star and leading to the smash brothers universe.

Also this might organize the games by types I guess but then there’s the whole mess of the Alt timelines or AU stories that happen in some of the sub games. Then the games also have a lot of cross dimensional happenings. It’s just too wild. I just go by the release date order. Just easier for me

Also what’s the point of having the ancients and dark matter timelines separate? To me they are in the same timeline, those games up top reference the games with Dark Matter later on bridging the games.

@rdm22 No Problem smash is incredibly awesome! It’s totally valid thoughts. Also yes, they are great Kirby games haha

If ppl read the interview it’s clear that Shinya Kumazaki doesn’t stand by a certain timeline because he states that they rather not be constrained by previous entries. Especially when it comes to Kirby’s abilities.

You can just experience them in order of release and that’s fine and some things carry over and some things get ignored.

@rdm22 That's fine. Tbh no franchise would be able to compete with smash brothers if smash brothers spawned from it lol. Smash Brothers is so big culturally and across gaming with its phenomenal crossover. Bringing folks and characters from across the industry

But tbh that only makes KSS even more amazing to me personally. Like something that borrows so much from KSS, something that came from such a humble entry level series, to be as BIG as smash. That HUGELY IMPORTANT gaming series came from little ol' Kirby.

In a way it makes it memorable too even if in the shadow and less so to many.

I guess I can't help but appreciate it tbh. Fills me with love ❤️

@rdm22 They are good sequels to Kirby Super Star, for sure lol Though I'm still partial to the og game.

@Muddy_4_Ever Yup I agree! As good as Planet Robobot is, it is just great polished Kirby and another Kirby Super Star style game working off the foundation of Return to Dreamland. Meanwhile Forgotten Land is evolving Kirby while still maintaining what makes Kirby great and absolutely feeling more alive then any previous entries have felt. It's a complete homerun from HAL and Shinya Kumazaki deserves to be very proud of this one. 👏 I'm sure Sakurai is damn proud of the guys at HAL for this one. He actually gave a shout out to the game on twitter something he rarely does with modern titles. Almost like he really wanted a new direction for the series FINALLY. 🤔

Also I bought Planet Robobot twice! Love the game but I'm a realistic older fan. I knew that the series I loveed needed to do more to appeal to more folks. I'm glad it's happening and I'm fully impressed with HAL

@Tempestryke I'm a huge fan of the old games but I think Forgotten Land kicks it outta the park with how robust it is. It's definitely one of Kirby's best titles from what I've played so far. I've felt like HAL had played it safe for while now and hadn't evolved the core gameplay but Forgotten Land is them proving they can go so hard. They have done it and it's superb.

@Funneefox you act like there's no Shinya Kumazaki bias lmao no offense but a lot of fans are younger then me and their first games were Shinya Kumazaki ones and to say there isnt bias for the new stuff like there is bias for the old stuff is ridiculous 🙄 I'm a huge fan of both directors but Shinya Kumazaki fans really have a victim complex for the guy.

Also I think Forgotten Land getting first is well deserved
