For those who already own the original version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch, there's good news. The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition comes with the original game and an upgrade pack. You can purchase this upgrade pack separately, allowing you to enjoy the enhanced graphics and the new Star-Crossed World expansion at a reduced cost.
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 not only includes the full original game with improved graphics but also introduces the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new content, "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."
