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

Release Date: August 28

Price: $79.99 at Target | $79.00 at Walmart

The highly anticipated Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28. This edition includes the full original game, enhanced with a faster frame rate and higher resolution, alongside a brand-new story expansion titled "Star-Crossed World." This expansion, never released before, promises to take players on a fresh adventure through uncharted territory following a meteor strike, where Kirby must utilize his unique abilities, including new Mouthful Modes.

Priced at $79.99, this game represents a significant investment, but it offers both the original game and the new expansion in one package. For those who already own the original Kirby and the Forgotten Land on the Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack is available separately, allowing you to enjoy the enhanced graphics and new story without repurchasing the base game.

From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, we noted: "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."

Nintendo describes the new content in Star-Crossed World 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."
