NXpress Nintendo Podcast 278: Reviewing Kirby and the Forgotten Land!

This week on the NXpress Nintendo Podcast, Cameron Daxon, Marc Kaliroff, Campbell Gill, and special guest host Eliza from Kirby Informer share a mouthful of thoughts on the confirmed 2022 game of the year, Kirby and the Forgotten Land! The first genuine 3D game in the franchise, Forgotten Land has a little something for everyone: adorable critters, laid-back gameplay, environmental storytelling, and even a dash of animal cruelty. Hey, Awoofy may be cute, but if he’s sitting on a pile of gold, it’s up to Kirby to do what must be done.

In this in-depth spoiler-free discussion, the hosts exchange notes on everything they love (and a few things they don’t) about Kirby and the Forgotten Land. They break down everything from the laid-back level design to the adorable characters to the revolutionary new Mouthful Mode–and have their fair share of disagreement along the way. After all, how should you spell Carby, anyway?

In honor of The Forgotten Land’s release, this is only Part 1 of our extensive Kirby-centric discussion this week. Keep an eye out for Part 2 for a healthy dose of controversy as Marc and Eliza rank every mainline Kirby game!
