Yes, you read that right—this game comes with a hefty price tag of $80. While it 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 dive into this upgraded adventure, it's available for grabs.

Upgrade Pack Available Separately

Good news for those who already own the original version on the Switch: you can purchase the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack separately. This option allows you to enjoy the enhanced graphics and the new Star-Crossed World expansion without having 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 complete original game with improved graphics, along with the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new content, Nintendo states: "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."
