The Nintendo Switch 2 may have just hit the market, but it's already impressing fans with a steady stream of exciting updates and new titles. One of the standout releases is the revamped edition of a beloved classic: Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

The Kirby Experience Just Got Even Better!

This week, players can dive into the expanded version titled Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, a mouthful for sure, but oh-so-worthwhile! This new edition not only enhances graphics but also adds an entirely new story mode that invites players back for round two.

Is It Worth the Price Tag?

For existing fans of Forgotten Land, there's a tempting $20 upgrade offering. However, newcomers will need to shell out $80 for the complete package. While it might seem steep for a game that isn’t brand new, the fresh visuals and the addition of 12 new stages make it worth considering, especially for those eager to enjoy Kirby in stunning high-definition.

Graphical Glory and Enhanced Gameplay!

Initially, Forgotten Land wowed us all with its innovative graphics and 3D design on the original Switch. Now, the Switch 2 elevates it even further, boasting a robust 60 frames-per-second performance that looks fabulous on large screens. This remaster is a true treat for fans—and playing it with my Kirby-loving 12-year-old was an absolute joy!

What’s New in Star-Crossed World?

In this exciting new narrative, a mysterious meteor showers the land with crystals, paving the way for gameplay that offers altered versions of classic levels packed with fresh secrets and "Starry" fragments to uncover. Plus, Kirby gets to absorb some fascinating new forms—try out the swirling gear that adds extra fun to wall-crawling challenges!

A Taste of Nostalgia, But Not Enough!

While I thoroughly enjoyed the upgrade, my only complaint is that I wish there was even more content to chew on. The experience feels like a delightful bonus rather than a sprawling new adventure, so manage your expectations accordingly. If you own a Switch 2 and are a fan of the original, it's definitely worth a shot!

Looking Ahead: Exciting Times for Switch Users!

The Switch 2 has rekindled my love for revisiting older games just as fiercely as I anticipate brand new releases. With potential upgrades and exhilarating new titles like Kirby Air Riders, Pokémon Legends Z-A, and Metroid Prime 4 on the horizon, there's plenty to keep players engaged for months to come.
