Adding to the thrill, it comes with an entirely new story, Star-Crossed World, which has never been released before. You can preorder it now, with options available at Target and other retailers.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World

Launching on August 28, the Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is priced at $79.99 at Target and $79.00 at Walmart. While $80 might seem steep for an upgraded version of the original game plus an expansion, it's the price set by Nintendo. If you're eager to experience the enhanced graphics and new storyline, you might want to grab it.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

Good news for those who already own the original version of the game: you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately. This allows you to enjoy the improved graphics and the Star-Crossed World expansion without needing to buy the entire game again, saving you 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."

The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game includes the full original game with enhanced graphics, along with the Star-Crossed World expansion, which introduces a brand-new adventure. According to Nintendo, the new content involves Kirby using his incredible abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through uncharted territory following a powerful meteor strike.
