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

Releases August 28

$79.99 at Target
$79.00 at Walmart

Yes, you read that right—this title is priced at $80. While it's certainly a premium price point for what was originally a Nintendo Switch title, this edition includes both the upgraded base game and an entirely new expansion. If you're a Kirby fan or collecting the latest Switch 2 titles, this might be worth considering.

Upgrade Pack Also Available Separately

Good news for those who already own the original version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition essentially bundles the original game along with the Switch 2 upgrade pack. If you already have the base game, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately and save money.

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

As noted in our original review: "Kirby and the Forgotten Land successfully adapts the series’ signature blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and exploration into a 3D format. While the post-apocalyptic setting may differ from Kirby’s usual whimsical worlds, it still delivers vibrant visuals and clever level design that makes smart use of Kirby’s unique powers. Despite the shift in perspective, the game retains the charm and accessibility that fans love. If this marks the beginning of more 3D adventures for Kirby, count us in."

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition brings all of that content with enhanced performance and visual fidelity, plus the brand-new Star-Crossed World expansion. According to Nintendo, this new adventure sees Kirby using his signature abilities—including several brand-new Mouthful Modes—to traverse unknown terrain after a powerful meteor strikes the world.
