Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Preorder and Save $5


Kirby and the Forgotten Land is nearly here. The game is set to release exclusively for Nintendo Switch on March 25. In an unlikely turn of events, this upcoming installment is a 3D game that takes place in a post-apocalyptic setting — albeit a rather adorable one. It's now available to preorder now for $5 off at Amazon, and you can even download a demo on the Nintendo eShop.

Read on to see where you can lock in a preorder and how much it costs. Without further ado…

Preorder Kirby and the Forgotten Land

You can grab the new Kirby from a variety of retailers, though at the time of this writing Amazon and Walmart are offering the best deals. Amazon has it for $5 off, which isn't much, but any discount is better than nothing! Also, Walmart is giving away a Kirby Popsocket with purchase.

What Is Kirby and the Forgotten Land?

For the most details on just what this game is, simply head over to our Kirby and the Forgotten Land preview.

But in the initial trailer, the world of Kirby and the Forgotten Land looks very much like our own, but the buildings and public spaces are overgrown with plant life. Animals roam freely, but no humans appear to be anywhere around. Cut to waves lapping on a beach, and Kirby wakes up on the sand as though just washed ashore.

Kirby then wanders into the overgrown urban landscape, and we see parts of the road are destroyed, as are the walls of some buildings, leaving rubble and rebar strewn about. Despite the apparent destruction, animals and standard Kirby enemies appear. The music is still the typical upbeat, joyful type from previous non-apocalyptic Kirby games.

And perhaps strangest of all, the whole colorful world is 3D. This is the first time we've gotten a full 3D Kirby platformer. It's like Mario going 3D in the '90s or Dylan going electric in the '60s. It's a big deal for longtime Kirby fans.
