Get ready for an exciting new release with *Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World*, set to launch exclusively on Nintendo Switch 2 on August 28. This special edition packs the full original Switch game, now enhanced with a faster frame rate and higher resolution. But that's not all—it also introduces a brand-new story, *Star-Crossed World*, which has never been released before. You can preorder it now, and it's available at Target. Let's dive into the details.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World
Out August 28
Priced at $79.99, you can find it at Target and Walmart. Yes, it's an $80 game, which might seem steep for an enhanced version of the original Switch game plus an expansion. But that's the price set by Nintendo, so if you're eager to get your hands on it, go ahead and grab it.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
Good news for those who already own the original version: since this edition includes the original Switch game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately if you already own the base game. This way, you can save some money while still enjoying the enhanced experience.
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."
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game includes the full original game with improved graphics, plus the *Star-Crossed World* expansion, which adds a new adventure to the mix. 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."
