It's 1993 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land just came out on the NES!


This is our ninth demake but our FIRST PLAYABLE demake!


This time, we've demade Kirby and the Forgotten Land to NES! We mixed the gameplay of the classic arcade game "City Connection" with the beloved Kirby franchise to bring you a nostalgic experience.


CONTROLS:

Z / Space for Boost

X / Up for Jump

Arrow keys / WASD for Turning


Note:

  • To use Boost, tap it once. This will use all of your charge.
  • If you want to interrupt Boost, tap it again while it's active.
  • Alternatively, you can press and hold Boost to use it, then release to interrupt it.


Please note that this is just a SIMPLE DEMO made in Unity and we don't want any issues with copyright infringement, so we won't be making more here. It's just one short love letter to the franchise and retro games! We love all HAL does and encourage you to buy the real Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It's one of the best games you can get on your Nintendo Switch!


HOWEVER, we're currently working on an actual original game with original characters, and if you sign up with our Patreon, we'll have more time to work on it. Plus, you'll be the first to know more about the project if you do!

i love this game

This was a nice little treat to stumble upon! Love the bit of homage to City Connection as well. Had a lot of fun playing that on the NES as a kid, and it was a cool surprise when I started the game before reading the description, ahaha. Everything from the gameplay to the visuals and music just feels so classic.

Great work to all involved!

It gives me the feeling of Forgotten Land vibes but in retro-style.

This is awesome! Now, is there anyway to download this? Cuz I don't doubt the Big N will come down crashing hard if they get wind of this, no matter how old it is.

64bitsanimation responds:

If it ever gets taken down, then you'll most likely find a copy on our Discord channel ;)

This game is a work of art!
