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

Out on August 28, this edition is priced at $79.99 at Target and $79.00 at Walmart. Yes, you read that right—it's an $80 game. While it's a significant investment for an enhanced version of the original Switch game plus an expansion, it's the price set by Nintendo. If you're eager to dive into this upgraded experience, go ahead and grab it.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

Good news for those who already own the original version: since this edition includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately if you already own the base game. This option allows you to save some money while still enjoying the enhanced features and the new Star-Crossed World expansion.

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

From our Kirby and the Forgotten Land review: “Kirby and the Forgotten Land successfully warps the series’ already fun mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into the third dimension. The post-apocalyptic setting may not be as thematically interesting as Planet Popstar, but it is still lovely and vibrant, with cleverly designed levels that make consistently smart use of Kirby’s abilities. Despite the change in perspective, Forgotten Land maintains most of what I love about classic Kirby games – and if the future means more 3D adventures for our hungry pink hero, I’d be more than happy to swallow them up.”

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game includes the full original game with improved graphics, plus the Star-Crossed World expansion, which adds a fresh adventure to the mix. Nintendo describes the new content as follows: “Kirby must use his amazing abilities, including some all-new Mouthful Modes, to clear a trail through uncharted territory after the world is struck by a powerful meteor.”
