Nintendo has announced the latest game in the Kirby franchise: Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I am thrilled to see the return of our favorite pink blob to the gaming world.
Kirby finally gets the platformer he deserves #Shorts #the_digital_reviews_shorts
Despite being around since the early ‘90s, Nintendo’s Kirby has yet to make the leap to fully 3D platforming. The last Kirby game came in the form of a co-op Switch release in 2018 with Kirby Star Allies, which still followed the same side-scrolling platformer design ethos as the original titles.
But now it looks like Nintendo is finally ready to bring the curtain down on the latest Kirby adventure.
Unlike previous entries in the Kirby series, Kirby and the Forgotten Land seems to take more inspiration from everyone’s favorite plumber in terms of level design and camera angle. Much like Mario Odyssey, Kirby and the Forgotten Land transports the little pink blob hero to a world that looks eerily similar to our own. Based on the little snippet we’ve seen, I can’t wait for spring 2022 to arrive so I can dive right in and start exploring this strange new world that Nintendo has created.
