Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Nintendo’s acclaimed 3D platformer, remains a standout title on the Nintendo Switch—and soon, it will arrive for the next generation with the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, slated for release in just a few months.

Developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo, Kirby and the Forgotten Land originally launched in March 2022 to widespread critical and commercial success.

Now, as the franchise marks a significant milestone, the developers are celebrating with a special treat for fans. In honor of the 33rd anniversary of the beloved Kirby series, Nintendo has launched a limited-time in-game reward for Kirby and the Forgotten Land users.

The celebration coincides with the anniversary date—Sunday, April 27th—marking 33 years since Kirby first debuted on gaming consoles.

In an official statement released via social media, Nintendo of America invited players to commemorate the occasion by entering a unique Present Code within the game. To claim the anniversary reward, players simply need to input the code “SPECIALPRESENT” within Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

This special code unlocks exclusive in-game bonuses, providing a token of appreciation to the dedicated Kirby fanbase.

Nintendo of America emphasized that the offer is part of their ongoing support for the Kirby franchise, which has maintained a loyal following since the series began in 1992. Kirby and the Forgotten Land represents a major chapter in the iconic series, featuring expansive 3D worlds, innovative mechanics, and vibrant visuals tailored for the Nintendo Switch hardware.

The upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Edition aims to deliver enhanced performance and new features while preserving the charm and gameplay that made the original a hit.
