Yes, you read that right: this is an $80 game. It's a premium price for a deluxe version of the original Switch game plus an expansion, but that's what Nintendo is asking. If it's what you're after, go ahead and grab it.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
Here's some great news on pricing for those who already own the original game. Since this version includes both the original game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, owners of the original Switch version can purchase the upgrade pack separately, saving some money in the process.
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 transforms the series’ engaging blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional experience. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically compelling as Planet Popstar, it remains visually appealing and vibrant, with cleverly designed levels that smartly utilize Kirby's abilities. Despite the shift in perspective, Forgotten Land retains the essence of what makes classic Kirby games so beloved – and if the future holds more 3D adventures for our voracious pink hero, I'm eager to dive in."
This Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game includes the complete original game with enhanced graphics, along with the Star-Crossed World expansion, which adds a fresh new adventure. Nintendo describes the new content as: "Kirby must employ his incredible abilities, including some brand-new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through unexplored territory after the world is impacted by a powerful meteor."
