There are lots of Kirby games on the original Nintendo Switch which means. thanks to backwards compatibility and all of those games will be playable on the Nintendo Switch 2 as well. The pick of the bunch is a Kirby and or The Forgotten Land. Perhaps and the biggest punt Nintendo has taken with Kirby since the characters creation as its had the mascot embark on the 3D adventure for the first time.

The Forgotten Land was the big hit for Nintendo switch but it is a creators admitted post launch that they did not think a 3D Kirby game was even possible. hence Nintendo sticking to two dimensions for first 30 years of Kirby games. The developers were worried Kirby was a too round to be playable in 3D and thats would not be clear which way the character was facing due to his spherical nature. So I am glad that hurdle was overcome and here is a to the start of a whole new generation of Kirby games so That hopefully both in two and three dimensions starting with Air Riders.
