Publisher Nintendo and developer HAL Laboratory have released Kirby and the Forgotten Land for the Nintendo Switch.
View the launch trailer below:
Here is an overview of the game:
Float off on an all-new adventure as the powerful puffball, Kirby. Explore in 3D stages as you discover a mysterious world with abandoned structures from a past civilization—like a shopping mall?! Copy enemies’ abilities like the new Drill and Ranger and use them to attack, explore your surroundings, and save the kidnapped Waddle Dees from the ferocious Beast Pack alongside the mysterious Elfilin. Hope you’re hungry for an unforgettable adventure!
Get a Mouthful of Real-World Objects for All-New, Powerful Transformations
Feeling hungry? Kirby can inhale real-world objects and transform using Mouthful Mode! Why get one drink from a vending machine when you can swallow the whole thing? Then, use your boxy body to shoot out cans at baddies. Consume a car to gain some wheels and slam through walls. Sit back and take it all in…literally.
Join Up with a Pointy Partner, Bandana Waddle Dee, in Cooperative Play
Pass a Joy-Con controller to a buddy to play as the spear-wielding Bandana Waddle Dee and help each other explore and battle through this colorful world. While Kirby can float and inhale enemies, Bandana Waddle Dee can spin and stab with his sturdy spear. Find friendship in this forgotten world and save the Waddle Dees!
Float over obstacles and fight through enemies on your way to each stage’s goal as you slash, poke, freeze, and hammer using Kirby’s copy abilities. The tough puff is truly put to the test in dynamic boss battles that will keep you dancing about the arena. Choose from two difficulty modes for either a light, breezy adventure or a more challenging experience.
Each themed stage you travel through will hide several friendly Waddle Dees in peril! Save them to grow the home base of your adventure, the once-deserted Waddle Dee Town. The Waddle Dees you rescue will unlock shops, leaderboards, and the ability to evolve copy abilities to make them stronger. You’ll also be able to enjoy some of the townsfolk’s favorite games. Use compatible amiibo accessories or Present Codes at Waddle Dee-liveries for useful in-game items. Track down cute collectibles to give Kirby’s house some extra charm either at the Gotcha Machine Alley or during your adventure.

I'm getting this as soon as I get off of work. The game looks absolutely gorgeous.
This game is easy. ...easier than easy. This game is EASY, EASY EASY. The easier game all history. It´s like gimmick..do this..do that..the same order...always. You don´t have to use creativity to bypass a single stage. All you need to do is to follow the game flow...and do the things like a game ON RAIL. TOOOO BORINGGGGG
I'm so sorry that the game about a pink marshmallow creature venturing through world full of rainbows and sunshine did not provide the challenge a hardcore gamer like yourself requires.
Might I suggest next time you don't buy the game on launch day, and do a modicum of research beforehand? You would have found out that the game is easy and linear. Almost as though it were part of a franchise designed primarily for young or inexperienced gamers or something.
I did not buy. My neighbor bought it, didn't like it, and lent it to me. I found it very boring, my wife didn't like it and my 9 year old daughter played it for 5 minutes and went back to Mario Odyssey. This game is not even for children. Luigi's Mansion (an ultra easy game) has a lot of challenge next to this Kirby. It's really boring. No one needs to agree or belittle someone else's opinion. All opinions have the same value. I respect if your opinion differs from mine. Nobody needs to care what I thought of the game.
So... your neighbor did not like the game, and then their reaction was to instantly give it to you to try. And when you didn't like it, you then gave it to everyone else in your household for their opinion? Sounds legit and not something made up for the purpose of this conversation. XD
But, assuming that super legit story is legit, you are complaining that a game you didn't research, didn't want, didn't play much of, and didn't pay for isn't the right difficulty for you? Lol. Not all opinions are worthy of respect. This is a prime example.
You're giving too much of an explanation for something so simple.
It has nothing to do with the fact that I played "without searching".
I play everything that comes my way to play on multiple consoles and Steam. I played and didn't like it. And I wrote why I didn't like it. My family didn't like it. "I" am not the subject as you want to make it. I only gave my opinion in a public space.
