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

Launching on August 28, this edition is priced at $79.99. You can grab it at Target or Walmart for $79.00. Yes, it's an $80 game, which might seem steep for an enhanced version of the original Switch title plus an expansion. But if you're eager to dive into this upgraded experience, that's what Nintendo is asking.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

Good news for those who already own the original game: you can buy the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately. This way, you can enjoy the enhancements and the new Star-Crossed World story without repurchasing the entire game, saving you some cash in the process.

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

From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: “Kirby and the Forgotten Land masterfully translates the series' beloved blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D environment. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically rich as Planet Popstar, it's beautifully crafted with vibrant levels that ingeniously leverage Kirby's abilities. Despite the shift to a 3D perspective, Forgotten Land retains the charm of classic Kirby games – and if future titles mean more 3D escapades for our beloved pink hero, I'm all in.”

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 harness his remarkable abilities, including some new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through unexplored territories following a devastating meteor strike.”
