As of March 31, 2023, Kirby and the Forgotten Land has sold over 6.46 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling game in the series as well as one of the best-selling games on Nintendo Switch. Minor criticism was directed towards Kirby's control and repetitive mini-bosses. Kirby and the Forgotten Land was well received by critics, praising its graphics, level design, gameplay, soundtrack, and amount of content, with some calling it among the best games in the series. To complete each stage to save the Waddle Dees, Kirby can use a wide range of copy abilities to help battle enemies and progress. The player controls Kirby in an adventure through the titular forgotten land called the New World to rescue Waddle Dees kidnapped by the ferocious Beast Pack.

It is the thirteenth mainline installment in the Kirby series, as well as the first game in the series in full 3D, excluding spin-offs. The game will launch for Nintendo Switch in Winter 2022 (Southern Hemisphere).Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a 2022 platform video game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. At this stage, it’s unknown whether the game is a free title, like other Kirby spin-offs. It doesn’t look like a particularly meaty game, with the bulk of gameplay revolving around rapid-fire, four-player rounds, but it should be a delightful party experience that you can hop into and enjoy at any time. ‘Players will race each other through these delicious obstacle courses to collect strawberries as Kirby grows, bumping other players off the stage and using familiar Copy Abilities – or Copy Food Abilities, as they are called here – to thwart the competition.’ ‘ Kirby’s Dream Buffet finds a gang of Kirbys rolling through a smorgasbord of food-themed stages in four rounds of frantic multiplayer fun,’ Nintendo said in a press release. Like those games, this will be a Nintendo eShop exclusive title, with no physical release currently planned.

Kirby’s Dream Buffet is the latest in a long line of Kirby spin-offs – and follows 2020’s excellent Kirby Fighters ’s Super Kirby Clash.
