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' 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 remains vibrant and lovely, with cleverly designed levels that make consistently smart use of Kirby's abilities. Despite the change in perspective, Forgotten Land maintains most of what fans love about classic Kirby games – and if the future holds more 3D adventures for our hungry pink hero, I'd be more than happy to dive in."
The Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game includes the complete original game with enhanced graphics, along with the Star-Crossed World expansion, which introduces a fresh adventure. Nintendo describes the new content as follows: "Kirby must use his amazing abilities, including some all-new Mouthful Modes, to clear a path through uncharted territory after the world is struck by a powerful meteor."
