This month marks the 30th anniversary of the Kirby franchise, so today’s release couldn’t have come at a better time! Kirby’s Dream Land first released on the Game Boy in Japan on April 27th, 1992. Since then, the character has become one of the most beloved icons in all of gaming, starring in a number of highly-regarded games. Unsurprisingly, reception to the new Nintendo Switch Online icons has been quite strong so far, and Kirby fans are already planning on spending their Platinum points to snag the new set. Fortunately, these icons are fairly inexpensive, costing 10 points each for the icons, and 5 points each for the backgrounds.
While Kirby and the Forgotten Land has proven to be a great way for fans to celebrate the character’s anniversary, developer HAL Laboratory and Nintendo have already teased that there will be other plans to commemorate the occasion. It’s unclear whether fans will hear anything else towards the end of this month, but 2022 is already shaping up to be a great year for fans of the denizen of Dream Land!
