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

Out on August 28

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. While it might seem steep for an enhanced version of the original Switch game with an added expansion, it's the price tag set by Nintendo. If you're eager to dive into this upgraded experience, go ahead and secure your copy.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

Great news for those who already own the original version on Switch: you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately. This way, you can enjoy the enhanced graphics and the new Star-Crossed World expansion without buying the entire game again, saving you some money 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 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."
