In March 2022, Kirby and the Forgotten Land will mark the beginning of a new age for one of Nintendo's oldest franchises. Well before the new game was revealed, Kirby developer HAL Laboratory said that the next game in the franchise would be a step in a new direction, and so far HAL is delivering on that promise. Kirby and the Forgotten Land's 3D platforming and potential city building mechanics make it a Kirby game to reckon with and a potential star of the Nintendo Switch this year. Considering the fact that 2022 marks Kirby's 30th anniversary, the innovational game couldn't be more timely.
