Out August 28
Priced at $79.99, you can find it at:
While $80 might seem steep for an enhanced version of the original game plus an expansion, it's the price set by Nintendo. If you're eager to experience the upgraded gameplay and new story, this might be the perfect addition to your collection.
Good news for those who already own the original Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch: you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately. This option allows you to enjoy the enhanced graphics and new Star-Crossed World content without repurchasing the base game, saving you some money.
From our review of the original game: "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 not only offers the full original game with improved graphics but also includes the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new content, Kirby must navigate uncharted territories after a powerful meteor strike, utilizing his amazing abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to clear a path and save the day.
