Nintendo: fans have mixed feelings about Valentine’s Day-themed cards

For the uninitiated, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is an upcoming Nintendo title, which is developed by HAL Laboratory. It’s going to be the seventeenth overall installment in the Kirby franchise. However, it will be the first 3D game in the series so far, when not taking the spin-offs into account.

Now coming onto Nintendo’s Valentine’s Day-themed initiative, it posted an interesting tweet on its main account recently. While revealing four different cards based on Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Nintendo wanted the fans to choose one of them for their loved ones. The cards were meant to be for two players.

Simply put, Nintendo wanted the fans to offer or dedicate one card to their partners who would join them in the game.

However, Valentine’s Day-themed tweet turned out to be a little too much for some users. Because many of them, sadly, didn’t have a partner as they were single. Eventually, they expressed their feelings of loneliness to Nintendo. “I don’t have a…..player 2,” wrote one fan.

Meanwhile, other Twitter users showed their enthusiasm for this Valentine’s Day-based initiative. While some of them selected their favorite cards to share with their partners, others expressed their anticipation of the game itself. Simply because they are eager to play it as soon as it’s out worldwide.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land releases on March 25, 2022, for the Switch.

What are your thoughts on the tweet from Nintendo? Which card did you choose for your partner to have as the second player in the upcoming title? Let us know in the comments.
