RedShell Posted February 10, 2022 Posted February 10, 2022 This is by far the best looking game on the horizon for Switch at the moment I reckon, and it really feels as if HAL Laboratory are putting their heart and soul into it. I imagine the motivation of it being Kirby's 30th anniversary has played a part as well, but yeah, they definitely appear to be on to something special with this game. Those Mouthful Mode transformations are kind of creeping me out though. 1 2

Glen-i Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 It's a pity EA own most of the rights to Beetle Adventure Racing. I've always wanted to play it, but I doubt they'll allow Ninty to put it on NSO without a stupidly hefty price tag. 2

Does some very cute art as well. If this tweet was trending (even if only in VG-related topics), that's pretty cool. 1 1

Expand Also hoping it comes to the N64 NSO service but I didn't realise there might be any rights issues to untangle. BAR is a fun game with a really satisfying sense of discovery when you find a shortcut/ new route through a stage.
The Cape Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 This looks absolutely amazing, really looking forward to it!! I'm wondering how car mouth for example will work with the 2-player mode? Maybe Waddle Dee goes on the passenger seat? 1

I can see it being a Wheelie Rider kind of thing Edited February 14, 2022 by Dcubed 2
MindFreak Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) The demo includes three levels and a boss fight. Also a new overview trailer: (not sure if completely new, it contains a lot of the stuff from the latest Direct but well, it's a new UK version at least.) Edited March 3, 2022 by MindFreak 2
Ronnie Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I'll probably skip the demo and just buy the game regardless. Any reactions from people who've played it though?
Dcubed Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I'm skipping it too. Don't need it to know that I want it, so I'd rather just go in fresh.
Dufniall Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Seeing as you guys are skipping the demo I'll throw my first impressions in spoiler tags just in case: Reveal hidden contents Just played the first two stages. It's good that there's a difficulty option so either hard or easy to choose from. After playing Legends Arceus, it's nice to play a game again that looks good! Kirby's such an easy going character and the game is so full of charm. It's pretty easy so far so I wonder if the difficulty goes up in the main game. Controls are pretty easy and straightforward. There are little missions within each level to complete which helps with wanting to explore. And it's really level based, no open worlds. Edit: just finished the demo (it's actually 2 levels and a boss fight). There is replay value in the demo as well. Edited March 3, 2022 by Dufniall 1 1
MindFreak Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 Oh. Misread this then: https://nintendoeverything.com/kirby-and-the-forgotten-land-demo-released-new-trailer/ Quote Three levels are included along with a boss fight. Expand I'll play it later, looking forward to it. Normally I would skip Kirby games because they are simply too easy and not interesting but this looks way better overall.

BowserBasher Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I've preordered it already but I may give the demo a go over the weekend.

Expand Kirby basically has two phases of gameplay, super easy, and super difficult. Super difficult tends to be the post-credits stuff. Star Allies's take on the arena is legit one of the hardest things I've done in Kirby history. It is positively brutal!

MindFreak Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 I'm not saying games should be soul crushingly difficult all the way through but I just don't think the past Kirby games I've played have had a good balance. They were so easy that it was just not fun to play them.
