Pricing and Availability

Priced at $79.99, this edition is available for preorder at Target and Walmart for $79.00. At $80, it's a significant investment for an enhanced version of the original game plus a new expansion. However, if the allure of improved graphics and new content calls to you, this is the package to grab.

Upgrade Pack for Original Owners

For those who already own the original Kirby and the Forgotten Land on the Switch, there's good news. The upgrade pack to the Switch 2 Edition can be purchased separately, allowing you to enjoy the enhancements and the Star-Crossed World expansion without rebuying the base game, thus saving you some 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 includes the full original game with upgraded graphics but also introduces the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new adventure, as described by Nintendo, “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.”
