From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: "The game successfully transitions the series' enjoyable mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D environment. Although the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically rich as Planet Popstar, it's still visually appealing and vibrant, with levels designed to smartly utilize Kirby's abilities. Despite the shift to 3D, Forgotten Land retains the essence of what makes classic Kirby games so beloved. If future titles mean more 3D adventures for our pink hero, I'm all in."
The Nintendo Switch 2 version not only includes the full original game with enhanced graphics but also adds the Star-Crossed World expansion. This new content challenges Kirby to navigate uncharted territory using his unique abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, following a world-altering meteor strike.
