HonestGamers - honestgamer's Kirby and the Forgotten Land review

How's the performance? I played the demo and it felt very choppy and a bit nauseating.

I haven't bought this game yet (I'll wait until it's cheaper), but my 8yo has played through the demo like half a dozen times and loves it. The coop was a bit of a let down. The 2p Waddle Dee is easy to use, but why would a kid want to be Waddle Dee instead of Kirby? Not all of the mouthful modes have something for the 2nd player to do either in the ones I've seen.

I didn't notice anything choppy or nauseating, but I haven't played the demo to compare. For me, the game felt smooth, with responsive controls and no technical hitches to mention. I'm not someone who insists on or even notices when a game runs at 60 FPS, though, and I would imagine this one runs at 30 FPS.

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world
