Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World

Available starting August 28, you can secure your copy for $79.99 at Target or $79.00 at Walmart. Yes, it's an $80 game, which is a hefty price tag for an enhanced version of the original Switch game plus a new expansion. But if you're a Kirby fan eager for more adventures, this is what Nintendo is offering.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

Good news for those who already own the original version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land on the Switch: you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately. This way, you can enjoy the enhancements and the new Star-Crossed World expansion without buying the full game again, saving you some cash in the process.

What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?

Play

As highlighted in our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, "The game successfully transitions the series’ enjoyable mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D environment. While the post-apocalyptic setting may not be as thematically compelling as Planet Popstar, it remains vibrant and beautifully crafted, with cleverly designed levels that smartly utilize Kirby’s abilities. Despite the shift to a new perspective, Forgotten Land retains the charm and fun of classic Kirby games. If this signals more 3D adventures for our pink hero, I'm all in."

The Nintendo Switch 2 version not only includes the complete original game with enhanced graphics but also introduces the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new content, "Kirby must harness his extraordinary abilities, including some innovative Mouthful Modes, to navigate through unexplored territories following a meteor strike on the world."
