The Switch 2 is here: everything you need to know about Nintendo's new console See all Stories Posted Aug 5, 2025 at 3:50 PM UTC Looking at Kirby makes me happy, and with this new trailer for — and brace yourself it's a doozy of a name — Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World , I couldn't be happier. My favorite pink blobby boy is getting some new adventures with the game's starry stages that let Kirby explore previously blocked off areas. He'll also get new mouthful mode shapes including a spring that lets him jump, a gear mode that lets him scale walls, and a sign shape that doesn't advertise his favorite foods, but lets him slide around on snow and other flat surfaces.
