How Long Is Kirby And The Forgotten Land?
If you're picking up Kirby and the Forgotten Land this weekend, you might be wondering how long it will take you to get through the charming adventure.

There's much to see and do in the first 3D Kirby platformer, so you rest assured knowing that you likely won't breeze through it.
