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.

Kamiyama noted:

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.
