Priced at $80, this game represents a significant investment, particularly for a version that upgrades the original Switch game and includes an expansion. However, this is the price set by Nintendo, so if you're interested, you'll need to consider it.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

For those who already own the original version on the Nintendo Switch, there's good news on the pricing front. Since this new edition essentially packages the original game with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately, saving some money in the process.

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

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

This Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game not only includes the full original game with improved graphics but also introduces the Star-Crossed World expansion. 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."
