Kirby and the Forgotten Land - 9/10 GS, 85 MC! #sorryGhostwire

I had a good feeling about this game, glad it's getting great reviews. The GS Reviewer spent 15 hours with the game, which is good enough for me. I was concerned it would be too short. Will you be picking this up, SW?

If it's a Nintendont/Phony game, of course the review starts at +4 before even getting started with the reviewing so at the end of the review if it's a 9/10 than a 6/10 is the reality here. lol :P

Wtf, how is it that the one Nintendo game I wasn't impressed with gets a 9/10 yet the one I do like gets a 4/10.

You were supposed to give this game a 8/10 like all Switch games. Wtf

The Last of Kirby

Day one!

@SecretPolice: No, Nintendo games are actually three points better than what their scores say. Critics underrate Nintendo games all the time because science says so. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is actually a 12/10 on GameSpot and a 115 on Metacritic. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Nice. I'm definitely getting this game when it comes out. So far 2022 is a much better year for gaming unlike 2021 was.

Hahahahah... Love it!!! ;)

Yikes, only an 85? :( RIP

Finally a good Kirby game after the mediocrity that was Star Allies. I can pretend that game doesn't exist & say this is the Switch's true Kirby game!

I'll get it in next month as I got bigger fish to fry this month.

as long as you're not frying any Kirbys

Thank you Nintendo, your the best.

Just goes to show Nintendo is unmatched in quality when they focus. I'd say this cements Kirby as being the best open-world game this year and it's not even close.

This game is not even open world.

Openish-world*

Kirby GOTY. This game a so cute!

Linear but sometimes you can choose between two or three areas, exactly how it's done in Super Mario Odyssey.

Not even an "openish" world game, whatever that's supposed to mean. The game is getting compared to Super Mario 3D World, which happens to be the most linear 3D Mario game.

Great game to keep you busy for 10h. Then what?

So now MC scores matter? Make up your minds.

Very nice. Looks like the Switch has yet another banger for it. Never did try the demo yet but I am really liking what I’ve been seeing and hearing on the game. I will be grabbing this myself.

lol maybe.. go on to the next game?

Like what? The Switch doesn't know what this means.

This is best game ever to play with your love ones. Another masterpiece by Nintendo.

@jaydan: OK OK fine, you win. I should've done more research before opening my big mouth.

Still, these graphics blow Elden Ring outta the water.

Wasn’t impressed at all with the demo but not too surprised if the subsequent levels are better. However based on the demo gamespot’s first two “the good” are not truthful and I don’t see how they would be better in a full game. The mouthful mode is a gimmick that they design short sections of level around just to justify their existence (much like Mario Oddysey’s hats), and the copy abilities are much pared down and have less impact thanks to HP sponge (mini)bosses.

Seeing gamespot claim otherwise immediately makes me skeptical of this review.

Nintendo stays flexing with the lowest cost of entry being $200 for a switch lite.

Give Nintendo it's flowers.

@girlusocrazy: linear platformers are dank, nothing wrong with that.

Hell I'd like more linear games in general. Open world has been done to death recently

Just to save everyone time, I'll summarize the rest of this:

*List of current and upcoming Switch games*

"Those don't count because bad graphics/will be delayed/made for kids."

*Conversation ends and Hardwenzen goes back to shilling ER*

Reasonably accurate, but i would also mention the pathetic frame rate that is in most Switch games.

@hardwenzen: Ah right, when you take the framerate and claim that it's 10-15FPS lower than it actually is. Almost forgot.

Don't be ridiculous. Sometimes its 20fps lower than what it should be.

I want this game, but it won't be a day 1. I'll wait for one of the rare Switch game sales and pick it up. I am way too busy with Elden Ring, Ghost of Tsushima, and Persona 5 Royal to start any other games.

@SecretPolice: it's +4 and it's a 6 so it ends up being a 9.

I remember when trolls were capable of adding 4 to 6 correctly.

Add any other characters and themes in replace of Kirby's and it's a 7 or lower. This goes for any Nintendo game. Once millinials die out and newer generations grow up to become game journalists and reviewers whom haven't grown up with the original NES and SNES, only then will Nintendo games start to fall off. Until then, nostalgia glasses will remain on.

Damn this hermit is savage af.

True statement. I mean you have to be savage to come at Kirby like that. Kirby is such a cute little blob of squishy feelings. How you come at it like that?!

On a side note, Millennials will soon rule the earth and sacrifice the blood of gen-z so that we may have a good harvest the year after. And Kirby will remain top shelf. Gonna be awesome.

I never had any desire to play Kirby games though I do love to use him in Super Smash Bros., I could say the same about Pokémon too, no interest in games but they make for great fighters in SSB.

I've enjoyed the 3ds Kirby games, might have to give this a try at some point.

Already preordered, I played the demo and it was actually pretty fun and Kirby is just adorable.

After reading some of the reviews, Kirby of the Forgotten Land may be the first Kirby game that catches my interest since Kirby Epic Yarn on the Wii more than a decade ago.

@onesiphorus: Did you play Return to Dreamland on Wii?

Got a deal on this game! $45!

Been ages since I played a Kirby game, I keep thinking back of the one on Gameboy, hahaha

@wiiboxstation:

Derp, unlike like MS games, Phony/Nintendont games are given a possibility of 11/10 so do da math.

Sheeesh, I figured everyone knew that. lol

Anyway, I went back to edit that then thought eh, leave it be. :P

I always think of the Gameboy ones too, though I tried Epic Yarn and the recent ones. But this one seems to capture the magic of old!
