Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Kirby and the Forgotten Land Present Codes

Kirby and the Forgotten Land just made it to Switch, and players can take advantage of several Present Codes. When registered in-game at Waddle Dee-liveries, they provide a variety of different items.

We have a complete list of all current Kirby and the Forgotten Land Present Codes below. End dates are also noted where applicable.

Kirby-and-the-Forgotten-Land-lore

Of every franchise Nintendo is involved in, Kirby is the one with a reputation for its in-depth lore. Unlike other games, however, Kirby lore is rarely spelled out to the viewer – instead, it’s often implied with things like pause screen descriptions and the like. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the first main series game in quite some time that lacks pause screen descriptions for bosses. This means that, compared to the other games, the game’s lore is a bit more front-and-center. There’s a lot to unpack here, and we figured we’d round up all the lore Kirby and the Forgotten Land has to offer. Do note that we’ll be discussing full game spoilers, so if for some reason you haven’t beaten the game, you might want to bookmark this page and come back later.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land soundtrack

To celebration the second anniversary of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, it’s been revealed that a new soundtrack album for the game will be released – at least in Japan. It’s arriving on September 13, 2024.

The album will be sold as both the Kirby and the Forgotten Land Sound Selection and Kirby and the Forgotten Land Complete Soundtrack. The former contains 33 tracks on a single CD while the latter features the complete soundtrack and other tracks across four CDs, along with some other goodies.

Kirby Car Mouth figure

Good Smile is readying a new Kirby Car Mouth figure as part of its Pop Up Parade line, and we now a the release window and pre-orders are open.

The figure is based on one of the transformations included in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. What we have here is a non-scale pre-painted figure made out of plastic. The main highlight is that it actually moves forward after being pulled back, so it’s a little more than just a collectible.

GDC 2023 Kirby full panel

A special Kirby panel was held at GDC 2023 last month, and the full panel has now been uploaded officially online.

HAL Laboratory developers Shinya Kumazaki and Tatsuya Kamiyama were both on hand to speak about how they brought traditional Kirby gameplay into a 3D world with Kirby and the Forgotten Land, plus there was discussion about some features in the game like Mouthful Mode. The second part of the panel shifts to Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe with talk about how the team reimagined the 2D gameplay and the world of the multiplayer Wii title.

Zelda Tears Kingdom Kirby Forgotten Land

With Kirby and the Forgotten Land marking the series’ first true attempt at 3D gameplay, some have compared it to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild in the sense that it took a new direction for the franchise. Kirby director Shinya Kumazaki has now shared his thoughts on this.

Speaking with IGN, Kumazaki stated:

Kirby and the Forgotten Land 3D Kirby

Kirby finally went 3D with Kirby and the Forgotten Land last year, and according to director Tatsuya Kamiyama, a big reason why it took so long to happen is due to the character’s pink sphere shape. Kamiyama explained why this was such a big obstacle during a session at GDC 2023 this week.

Kamiyama noted:

Kirby and the Forgotten Land GDC 2023

Nintendo games have been represented at GDC over the years with a few developer panels, and we’ll be seeing this again in 2023 as part of a session dedicated to Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The same event will also touch on Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe “and how they reimagined the 2D gameplay and the world of the multiplayer Wii classic.”

Shinya Kumazaki and Tatsuya Kamiyama will both be in attendance. During the session, the two will be “discussing Kirby and the Forgotten Land one year after its release – looking at how they brought traditional Kirby gameplay into a 3D world, as well as examining some of the new features in the game, including the fan-favorite Mouthful Mode.” The event “is for any game developers interested in the history and legacy of one of the cutest (and most adaptable!) characters in video game history, as well as where Kirby and their series are headed in the future.”

The Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Fest was livestreamed earlier this year, and now Nintendo have uploaded part of this performance to their official Youtube channel. This video, which you can view below, will be available until Jan 30, 2023, and showcases Green Tree Memories from Super Kirby Clash and Welcome to the New World from Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
