Kirby and the Forgotten Land will launch on March 25, Nintendo has just announced. We knew the game would be arriving this spring, but an exact date hadn’t been shared until today.
Nintendo also provided new details about the story, new Drill and Ranger copy abilities, support for co-op, Waddle Dee Town, and more.
Here’s the full overview from Nintendo:
Hamster is continuing to bring classic arcade titles to Switch through its Arcade Archives series of ports this week by bringing the top-down shoot-’em-up Gunnail to the Switch eShop. Here are the details on this latest entry, courtesy of the International Arcade Museum:
According to a translation by Gematsu, Konami has announced that the latest entry in its baseball game series, eBaseball Powerful Pro Baseball 2022 is headed to Switch in Japan this April. Here are some details on what to expect:
Elias and Ervin have been doing a great job for the site handling news during the night shift for a long period now. Unfortunately though, both will be stepping down soon due to some personal situations. However, the site continues on, and we will be looking for some fresh faces to publish news on the site during certain periods of the day.
These are the positions we currently have open:
CyberConnect2 announced today that it will release three paid costume DLC packs for Fuga: Melodies of Steel.

Visualnoveler has announced that Eternal Radiance, its action RPG, is heading to Switch this week. Fans can pick up the title starting on January 13.
Eternal Radiance is about a squire named Celeste who begins a journey to prove herself worthy of becoming a true knight. Read more about the game below.
It turns out that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate hasn’t abandoned new events entirely, as Nintendo has just announced that the game will be celebrating the 35th anniversary of Street Fighter. Fans will have an opportunity to pick up a new spirit featuring Evil Ryu. Other prior Street Fighter spirits will also be appearing.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate largely ended its support following the release of Sora as its final DLC character in October. A month later, Nintendo announced that new in-game events were coming to an end. Previous events have been recycled on a weekly basis, so today’s news about the Street Fighter celebration and Evil Ryu spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate comes as a surprise. It’s unclear whether this is a one-time thing or if we could continue to see new spirits from time to time.
Nintendo has updated the Japanese release schedule on its platforms for the week of January 20, 2022. Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
