What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?
From our original review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: "Kirby and the Forgotten Land masterfully transitions the series' beloved formula of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret discovery into a 3D space. While the post-apocalyptic world may not have the same thematic charm as Planet Popstar, it remains visually stunning and vibrant, with intelligently designed levels that showcase Kirby's abilities. The shift to 3D retains the core elements that make Kirby games so enjoyable, and if this is the direction for future titles, I'm all for more 3D adventures with our iconic pink hero."
This new Nintendo Switch 2 Edition includes the full original game with graphical improvements, plus the Star-Crossed World expansion that adds a fresh adventure. Nintendo describes the new content: "Kirby must harness his incredible abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to forge a path through unknown lands after a powerful meteor impact."
