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

Priced at $79.99, you can grab it at Target or for $79.00 at Walmart. At $80, it's a significant investment for a revamped version of the original game plus an expansion, but that's the price set by Nintendo. If you're eager to get your hands on it, go ahead and secure your copy.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

Good news for those who already own the original version of the game: since this new edition includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately and save some money if you already have the base game.

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

From our Kirby and the Forgotten Land review: "Kirby and the Forgotten Land successfully transitions the series' fun blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional space. The post-apocalyptic setting may not be as thematically compelling as Planet Popstar, but it remains vibrant and charming, with cleverly designed levels that smartly utilize Kirby's abilities. Despite the shift in perspective, Forgotten Land retains much of what fans love about classic Kirby games – and if the future holds more 3D adventures for our beloved pink hero, I'd eagerly devour them."

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game not only includes the full original game with enhanced graphics but also adds the Star-Crossed World expansion, offering a new adventure. Nintendo describes this new content as follows: "Kirby must harness his incredible abilities, including some new Mouthful Modes, to navigate uncharted territory after a powerful meteor strikes the world."
