If you’re ready to team up to rescue all the caged Waddle Dees with a buddy, here’s how to play, and what you can do, in co-op in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Kirby is one of the most friendly characters in video games. After all, who wouldn’t want to be friends with a little round pink ball of joy who is constantly smiling? Through his various adventures in previous games, Kirby has had all kinds of allies join him in various ways, including pets he can ride and other controllable characters. Sometimes they are unique characters, like the burly King Dee Dee, while other times they are just different colored versions of Kirby. Now in his biggest adventure to date with Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which plunges the game into 3D for the first time, many people were wondering if co-op would even be possible in this new style of game. Nintendo didn’t let us wonder for long. It was advertised early that Kirby and the Forgotten Land would indeed allow for a second player to pick up a Joy-con and join in on the fun as a Bandana Waddle Dee to back up Kirby in his quest. However, how exactly you could start playing in co-op, as well as how much of the game would be available to play with a second person, was left a mystery until the game’s release. If you’re ready to team up to rescue all those caged Waddle Dees with a buddy, here’s how to play co-op, and what you can do in co-op, in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
