Nintendo Releases 6-Minute Kirby And The Forgotten Land Overview Trailer

Nintendo has released a new six-minute overview trailer for Kirby and the Forgotten Land that further showcases copy abilities, mouthful mode, Waddle Dee Town, and more ahead of the game’s release on Switch later this month. 

With the game set to release on March 25, this new trailer will help tide you over until then, especially if you’ve already put the demo available for Kirby and the Forgotten Land through its paces. It begins by setting the stage for how Kirby even arrives to the might-just-be-earth-but-called-Forgotten Land. He’s sucked up into a terrifying storm cloud and spat back to this new mystical land where he learns he needs to rescue kidnapped Waddle Dees from the ferocious Beast Pack. 

From there, the trailer highlights a lot of the new copy abilities (and their upgrades) that can be found in the game. There’s the Hammer, which can be upgraded to a more devastating Toy Hammer or the stone-based Wild Hammer. There’s the Bomb, which can be upgraded to a bomb ability that chains together multiple explosions. There’s even a windy tornado that can be upgraded to become a tornado with lightning. Of course, there’s plenty more, too, like the Needle and its Cluster Needle upgrade, the Ranger gun-firing ability and its faster-firing Noble variant, and the Drill with its Pencil Drill upgrade that hits harder. 

As if the copy abilities weren’t enough, the trailer showcases more of Kirby’s Mouthful Mode, which sees him completely devouring something to take on a new shape entirely. The car is shown more, and we also get to see some of its new features, such as the dome and stairs. 

Both the Mouthful Mode and Kirby’s copy abilities will be necessary to rescue kidnapped Waddle Dees, which will populate Waddle Dee Town and unlock new things for Kirby to do. You will have more options for upgrading your skills the more Waddle Dees are saved. Plus, you’ll unlock more things to do like the boss rush Colosseum, the mini-game gig system, and more. This can all be done solo or together with your co-op friend Bandana waddle dee. 

The trailer ends with a look at how Kirby Amiibo work in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and they work pretty much as you might expect – they unlock items to use in the game. Here’s a look at the Amiibo lineup:
