Yes, you read that correctly: this game is priced at $80. It might seem steep for an upgraded version of the original Switch game combined with an expansion, but that's the price set by Nintendo. If you're eager to dive into this enhanced adventure, you'll want to grab it.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

Here's some great news for those who already own the original version of the game. Since this new edition essentially includes the original game plus the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, existing owners can purchase just the upgrade pack separately and save some money.

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 includes the full original game, now with enhanced graphics, along with the Star-Crossed World expansion, introducing a fresh adventure. 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."
