People thought it was gonna be open world? I thought it was incredibly obvious it was gonna be like 3D World based on the trailers.

The demo showed me the game was exactly what I thought it’d be, not everything needs to be open world people!

I personally wanted a 3D kirby game just because it would open up the movement and leady to tons of creative ideas not possible in 2D. People should not complain that it is not truly an "open world" game and to me personally i dont mind this style at all i think this style fits platformers really well.

With the insane obsession of “everything has to be open world” since BOTW, I feel like the most creative way to approach a game right now is actually a more linear style. I’m finding myself appreciating this style more lately. This game is definitely an awesome balance of beautiful 3D with good linear progression. Played the demo and will definitely buy.

The demo was tons of wholesome fun. This is exactly the game that I need this year: A simple, straight-forward, and cute 3D platformer. I'm so sick of bloated Open World games that all play the same.

I just found out that there's a demo available and I'm very impressed with what I played. Definitely buying

Just played the demo and my gosh, it’s adorable af. The saturated colours, buttery smooth frames, lively music all made me smile. Nintendo truly knows how to reach out to the inner child in us. Definitely buying it! Just hope the gameplay is long enough.

Absolutely love the choice to go with stages over an open world. Not every game needs to be open world. The novelty of that wore off years ago... it’s no longer bold or interesting to copy and paste the Breath of the Wild/Ubisoft formula into every game. The curated experience that stages provide is what can really differentiate game on more than just a setting level. With the changing fixed camera angles and dystopian backdrop, this gameplay felt strangely reminiscent of Nier Automata.

Surprised that people anyone was expecting an open world, Odyssey style game. It always looked like more of a linear 3D adventure like 3D World. Very obvious paths, no camera control, a world map, etc. That being said, this is kind of the Kirby game I’ve wanted for years. My worry is that this game will become too much of a “lock and key” style game where you’re just constantly using the closest copy ability to solve an obvious puzzle.

My hope is that they don't let these stages go to waste. Hopefully when you beat the game they add more waddle dees to each stage, like when you beat Mario Odyssey you see more moons appear.

Never expected it to be free-roaming open world. I’m just glad Kirby’s in 3D finally!

I wasn't expecting a Mario Odyssey style of game so of it's anywhere as near as good as 3d world then I'll be very happy.

The demo has me so hyped for this game! I've never played a Kirby game before, but this is so fun!

I saw this coming. I knew that there would be levels that look like an open world and people would be disappointed that it's not open world

Just waiting to see what the arena will be like and the extra modes. I'm also guessing there'll be a mode where you play through a remixed version of the main game as Waddle Dee, or Meta Knight.

The game looks gorgeous and runs really well, my only fear at the moment is that given the amount of content I was already able to experience in only the first levels I'm worried it will be a short game much like Star Allies

I love the camera angle, at times it looks cinematic!

Kirby is one of those game series that you just can’t hate no matter what. Because realistically why would you hate kirby

This is actually also kind of how I thought a 3D DKC game would work. Kind of a combination of this and Crash Bandicoot.

kind of reminds me of Super Mario 3D Land and, as one of the few to actually like that game, I'm excited for this game.

The demo is amazing. Definitely buying in the near future

Enjoyed the review. Definitely picking this game up on day 1!

Kirby is one of my most favorite games. I am definitely going to snag myself a copy. I just love the new mouthful mode.

It's like a combo between 3D World and Odyssey in all the best ways. Definitely a day 1 purchase for sure!

Mario Odyssey didn’t have a free-roaming open world either really; it had big open-ended levels and a world select map. Yeah, you could move the camera around freely in those levels, but it was still level-based at the end of the day.

Gonna be honest I never got the Mario Odyssey impression. It was always pretty clear this was just a 3D Kirby, even comparing mouthful mode to Cappy felt like a stretch. Kirby's regular copy ability shares more similarities to Cappy. Can we stop comparing games to Mario Odyssey.

Im honsetly glad their open world approach is more similar to 3D world rather to that of oddisey. I love sandbox in RPGs, but in plaformers it can kill the flow - well design levels within a 3D enviroment is much more suited to the genre in my eyes. really look up to that game

I've just played the demo. I enjoyed it, but it would have been better if the camera angle was adjustable.

I’m glad this is more like 3D Land/World. Those were great games and not everything needs to be open world.

I’ve played every single mainline Mario game and 3d world is by far my favorite. My hype is off the charts for this game!

Played the demo. It looks and feels awesome!

That teaser was from September?! Time sure feels weird lately.

This game is gonna be a instant classic I played the demo and can’t wait for the full game this month it’s like Mario Odyssey and Kirby clashed to make a game so cool

When he transforms himself into a car, that's epic!! I've played the demo and so far i am impressed.. Can't wait to see what else this game has to offer..

The demo is a blast, although I wouldn't say things ran perfectly. I played in handheld mode, so keep that in mind, but I noticed some noticeable frame rate dips when running behind large objects (I think they were trees). The objects go transparent so you can still see your character and Kirby was definitely moving more slowly. I also saw some Pokemon Arceus-style frame rate drops when looking at movement in the background. I hope that kind of stuff isn't in the final game. I'm excited for this one!

‘Not everything needs to be open world,’ for sure! But it looks like it would be kind of open-y and I, among others, were so excited to see if it was! I just hope it’s at least medium open?

I am so excited for this game you won't believe! This is the first game I've ever pre-ordered. Can't wait to try the demo!

The thing i love about kirby games is the versatility of moves with all copy abilities, and the fact that there isnt even an option to plunge into the grownd (with sword for example) makes me a bit unsatisfied, but my hopes for this game haven't dropped entirely, since i also loved the story of kirby games, so i hope the game will turn out good in terms of copy abilities.

I played the demo as soon as it became available and I loved it! The best thing is that the Spring Breeze Mode is easy enough for my 9 and 6 year old kids to play and feel like they can do it by themselves, which is pretty awesome!!!!

I never thought this was gonna be an open world game so I’m totally okay with this game taking the 3D world approach

I played the demo on the Switch and it's pretty good. I'd buy it!

I'm glad it's Mario 3d world like, I liked that formula and I'm glad it's been revived via Kirby

This Kirby game is the best I’ve played since triple deluxe, definitely a day 1 purchase given my exams don’t get in the way again.

The only thing i feel is wrong is the sound stuff in cutscenes but other than that this is amazing i love it so much, def lookin' forward to the full thing

1:19 I see what you did there 😏 (The enemy kirby inhales is also named Cappy)

Always looking forward to another Kirby game. I too thought it would've been open world, but maybe this'll be a precursor to that.

The thing that's really great about this game is the combat, super underrated, the dodge roll bullet time is so satisfying to pull off

I haven’t played a Kirby game since triple deluxe on the 3ds and it looks like this will be the perfect game to come back to😊😊😊

Did you have to re upload this for some reason? I watched this earlier, but it got turned private

this isn't even like 3d world tbh. There are missions inside each world like galaxy and odyssey. Its kind of a combination of the two

So excited to pick this up physically

The game looks great, even though an open world would have made it better. Stage Selecting is fine and all...but that is very played out. Let's try something different like making games that are normally side-scrolling and linear and make them 3D open world (like Megaman and Metroid). It also would have been nice if they took a hint from the Super Nintendo Kirby Superstar and made your co-op ally whatever enemy you swallow and gave you the choice of making them your ally or taking the power for yourself. It still looks really fun though.

We don't need more walking simulators. The 3D world style is perfect for this game. The demo is so good, I can't wait for the full release.

I loved the demo! It was so fun. My only issue is abilities don't really have enough attacks. The dodging and such are fun to use! And the greatsword, oh I love it!

Day 1 buy for me, liked your review though I like if it's more raw gameplay/sound

The demo was pretty good. Can't wait for the game release.

I actually didn’t realize you could suck the stars up in the Gorilla boss until I watched this.🤯

Never played a Kirby game before but after playing the demo I think I’ll be getting this

Real ? Is is this longer then Kirby star allies?? I hope so that game was depressingly short. Good but short, can't wait to play this game!. I'm definitely shocked ur posting this so far in advanced

I'm looking forward to this game so much, especially because I canplay a Kirby game again with my husband! I am always glad when there is a game that allows a couple friendly couch co-op.

The demo was super fun what will make or break this game is how many stages it has. I hope a ton

Downloading the demo-- let's goooooooo

I can't get enough of the demo. I've been re-playing it again and agin.

I only hope that it is a decent length. I want to more content, because star allies felt lacking at the start. If it takes at least 10 hours to beat the story, then this will definitely be a must have on the switch.

I love how the game looks but I didn’t really have fun in the demo, hopefully I will find it more exciting when the full game is released.

From the demo? YES, DEFINITELY YES! I’ve never played a Kirby game in my life and the demo is so good

Tbh, having a huge open-world BOTW-esque game would've been too ambitious for Kirby's first fully-3D game, so I'll cut HAL some slack. I just finished the demo, and I had a lot of fun. I'm definitely looking forward to playing the full game.

This looks amazing! Im getting some serious Bomberman Hero vibes

If you beat the Demo on Wild Mode, you get 2 Codes for the Full Version

How long is the game ? Can I expect many hours of fun or beat it in 1 day ?

Not everything needs to be open world to be fun tbh. I am very much happy with this demo and playing through stages.

I like how in this video they don't say kirby and the forgotten land in every single sentence like they did with the pokemon ARKeus video. But you could of just said its more like mario 3D world from the start than keep going on about how its not like mario odyssey did take a while to get to that point

As someone who finds open world games extremely overwhelming and time consuming I loveee how they have chose to not do that with this game ! Just fun stages etc works perfect for my little basic gamer brain 😂😭

Personally don't mind the fixed camera, I'm crap at it anyways!

I think it's great! Def gonna pick it up.

Thank you for your Candor Zion🙏

Played the demo, it feels very smooth definitely a purchase when it’s on sale

Even if it aint Odyssey style this is gonna be one of the cleanest 3d Platformers in a hot minute

How long will this game be

Ngl I wanted open world. Kirby’s air ride city trial is still epic

I went into the demo with the attitude of I'm not buying this game. After the demo I am most definitely buying the game. I like the art style and smooth gameplay.

I played about 45 minutes of the demo. At least for me, the new Kirby game is one of the best Switch games that I've played. So much so to where I'm going to get the GameStop pre-order, because I want those pins.

In the demo if u press “up” on the d-pad Kirby will laugh or say “Hi!”

Personally, I always saw the game more close to Super Mario 3D World. The Mouthful Mode parts are what may remind of Odyssey though. Enjoyed both titles vastly so I stay excited.

This is great, it's like Crash Bandicoot with its corridor level design

anyone know if demo progress can be transferred to the main game?

im gonna get kirby and the forgoten land as my birthday gift

Is the game easy even on wild mode? I like a bit harder games and Kirby is known for low difficulty and I'm not sure if I should buy it.

The only thing about the demo is it didn't really show anything super new. I'm still gonna get it though, I love Kirby

Open world games are fun but I like a good linear game too. I would be sad if every Zelda game after breath of the wild was open world

I don’t need it to be open world/open level. I just want a new 3D platformer.

Is it only local co-op?

It looks really cool!

Sure, it would be nice to have an open world game, but we have plenty of open world games right now and this will be a nice change.

No camera control is a deal breaker

Who is dumb enough to think it's a open world ?

They added a hard mode finally, but sadly it’s still very easy.

does it run at 60fps? Bc I tried the demo and it ran at 30...

I like it when there a kid difficulty for the kids(lot of health, auto transform, slow pace). BUT I also like it when there a challenging difficulty, I wish the hard mode made the game faster (kirby & ennemi move & act faster like the 50cc vs 200cc in Mario Kart, more ennemi in a screen, etc not just less health). All games should have a speed setting shouldn't be hard to implement.

day1/week1 purchase for me. a perfect palette cleanser after a month of Elden Ring. What a time to be a gamer(tm) !
