Your eyes do not deceive you: this is an $80 game. While it might seem steep for a souped-up version of the original Switch game plus an expansion, it's the price set by Nintendo. If you're eager to dive into this enhanced experience, it's worth the investment.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
For those who already own the original version of the game, there's some good news on pricing. Since the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition includes the original game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, current owners can purchase the upgrade pack separately and save money.
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 not only comes with the full original game, complete with improved graphics, but also includes the Star-Crossed World expansion, which brings a new adventure to the package. 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.”
