Yes, you read that correctly: this game is priced at $80. It’s difficult to ignore that this is a premium price for an enhanced version of the original Switch game bundled with an expansion. However, this is Nintendo's set price, so secure your copy if you're interested.

Here's some positive news for existing owners of the original game. Since this edition bundles the base Switch game with the Switch 2 upgrade pack, players who already own the original can purchase the upgrade pack on its own for a lower cost.

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

Play

From our original review: “Kirby and the Forgotten Land masterfully translates the series' beloved formula of ability-based combat, platforming, and exploration into a 3D space. While the post-apocalyptic world may not carry the same charm as Planet Popstar, it remains a beautifully vibrant setting with intelligently designed levels that showcase Kirby's powers. The transition to 3D retains the core elements that define classic Kirby games, and if this is the direction for future titles, I'm fully on board.”

This Nintendo Switch 2 version includes the full original game with graphical enhancements, coupled with the Star-Crossed World expansion that introduces a brand-new storyline. Nintendo describes the new content as follows: “Armed with new and returning abilities, including fresh Mouthful Modes, Kirby must navigate mysterious lands and clear a path after a powerful meteor impacts the world.”
