Priced at $79.99, you can grab it at Target or snag it for $79.00 at Walmart. Yes, you read that right: this is an $80 game.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

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 transitions the series' fun blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D environment. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as captivating as Planet Popstar, it remains beautifully vivid, with cleverly crafted levels that smartly leverage Kirby’s abilities. Despite the shift in 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 enhances the original game with better graphics and adds the Star-Crossed World expansion, introducing a fresh adventure. Nintendo teases the new content as follows: "Kirby must harness his incredible abilities, including some brand-new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through uncharted territories following a devastating meteor strike."
