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

Available for $79.99 at Target and $79.00 at Walmart, this game comes with a hefty price tag. At $80, it's a significant investment, especially considering it's an enhanced version of the original game plus a new expansion. However, if you're eager to dive into this upgraded adventure, it's the price you'll need to pay.

Upgrade Pack Is Also 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 successfully transforms the series’ beloved mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional experience. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically engaging as Planet Popstar, it remains vibrant and beautifully crafted, with levels that cleverly utilize Kirby’s abilities. Despite the shift to 3D, the game retains the core elements that make classic Kirby games so enjoyable. If the future holds more 3D adventures for our pink hero, I'm ready to embrace them eagerly.”

The Nintendo Switch 2 version not only includes the full original game with upgraded graphics but also the Star-Crossed World expansion, adding a fresh adventure to the mix. According to Nintendo, “Kirby must harness his incredible abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through uncharted territories following a meteor strike on the world.”
