Kirby and the Forgotten World is out March 25 and includes co-op

Kirby and the Forgotten World is set to release on March 25 for Nintendo Switch. It is the first 3D platform game in the series and features a local co-op mode where two players can progress through the adventure together.

The aim of the game is to free as many trapped Waddle Dees as possible. The game includes a hub from which players can enter the different worlds like in the 3d Mario games. There will be a snow, a water, a desert and a fairground world, among others, Nintendo informs on Twitter† Just like in the 2d Kirby games, it is possible to suck up enemies and take over their attacks.

In co-op mode, one player plays as Kirby and the other as Bandana-Waddle Dee. The latter has a spear to attack with by default, but doesn’t get the ability to take over enemies’ abilities. The co-op is only possible locally, not via an online connection.

This isn’t the first Kirby game for Nintendo Switch. For example, 2D platform game Kirby: Star Allies and a fighting game titled Kirby Fighters 2. How much Kirby and the Forgotten World will cost when the game comes out on March 25 has not been announced.
