Nintendo just gave fans a lot to talk about. The Nintendo Treehouse livestream on April 3-4, 2025, showcased Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, set to release on August 28, 2025. This isn’t just a rerun of the original game; it’s an upgraded version with better performance and new content. If you love the game as much as I do, this event was a fun peek at what’s coming next.
Technical Upgrades Bring Kirby to Life
The Switch 2 edition steps things up with 60fps gameplay, a big jump from the original 30fps. It also runs at 1080p in handheld mode and 1440p when docked. These changes make the game feel colorful, sharper, and smoother, which is great for exploring every corner. Want more details on the tech side?

New Star-Crossed World Campaign
The big addition is the “Star-Crossed World” campaign. It remixes the original levels with a crystal comet theme and offers two difficulty modes: Wild Mode for a challenge and Spring-Breeze Mode for something easier. You can even team up with a friend in co-op mode, playing as Kirby or Bandana Waddle Dee. Eurogamer has more on what makes this campaign fresh.
Gameplay Highlights from the Livestream
The Nintendo Treehouse event showed off some new levels, like a sandy cove with crystals and an overgrown city with blue vines. There are new mini-bosses to fight and a Mouthful Spring power-up that lets Kirby bounce around. It’s the kind of stuff that makes you want to grab a controller. You can watch it yourself on YouTube.
How Fans Are Reacting
People are excited about Kirby’s new adventure. A Reddit post said, “I’m super excited for another 3D Kirby adventure!!!!” But some fans aren’t happy about the paid upgrade for original owners. It’s a mix of hype and questions, which feels pretty normal for a game this big.
