Nintendo’s latest release of Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is almost here. Ahead of its arrival, reviews are in, and they’re looking pretty strong. The base game remains the same as the 2022 3D platformer, with new content like additional ‘Star-Crossed’ levels, Mouthful Modes, and more.
The new Switch 2 Edition takes advantage of the console’s boosted power, offering crisp 60fps gameplay in all modes. Various outlets have reviewed the game, including GAMINGbible, which gave it a 9/10, praising the expansion of almost every aspect that fans know and love. TechRadar also praised the added areas in Star Crossed World, stating they are some of the best yet.
Other reviews include VGC’s 4/5, TheGamer’s 4/5, IGN’s 7/10, Metro’s 7/10, and Nintendo Life’s 9/10. Some reviewers felt that the new content was a bit lacking, but most agreed that the upgrade to 60fps makes the game look and feel more polished.
The question remains: is this $20 DLC worth it? While some might disagree, others see the value in the enhanced visuals and additional content. The reviews suggest that Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World is a superior version of the original, but the added cost might be too much for some.
The debate will continue, but one thing’s for sure: fans are excited to dive back into the world of Kirby.
