Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World
Out August 28
Pricing and Availability
Priced at $79.99, you can snag this enhanced version at Target or for $79.00 at Walmart. Yes, it's an $80 game, which might seem steep for an upgraded version of the original Switch game plus an expansion. But that's the price set by Nintendo, so if you're eager to dive into this upgraded experience, it's worth considering.
Upgrade Pack Available Separately
Good news for those who already own the original Kirby and the Forgotten Land for the Nintendo Switch. You can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately, which means you can enjoy the enhancements without buying the whole game again. This option saves you some money and ensures you don't miss out on the improved graphics and new story.
What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?
From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: “Kirby and the Forgotten Land successfully warps the series’ already fun mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into the third dimension. The post-apocalyptic setting may not be as thematically interesting as Planet Popstar, but it is still lovely and vibrant, with cleverly designed levels that make consistently smart use of Kirby’s abilities. Despite the change in perspective, Forgotten Land maintains most of what I love about classic Kirby games – and if the future means more 3D adventures for our hungry pink hero, I’d be more than happy to swallow them up.”
The Nintendo Switch 2 version not only includes the full original game with enhanced graphics but also introduces the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new adventure, as described by Nintendo, “Kirby must use his amazing abilities, including some all-new Mouthful Modes, to clear a trail through uncharted territory after the world is struck by a powerful meteor.”
