Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Kirby And The Forgotten Land?

Kinda played it to 100% completion on Switch 1. Had my fill of the game and the new stuff doesn't feel substantial enough for a second go.

Despite having a Switch 2, I have yet to buy a proper Switch 2 game. Not sure if this quite counts as one, but intend to go the upgrade path and looking forward to it! Aside from the Paper Mario/RPG series, Yoshi and Kirby are my favourites from Nintendo.

Though, I should ask....any idea about how big the extra content is in terms of length? Like @Erigen, I have completed it 100 percent so just having better graphics and frame rate is not the selling point to me. If it is only 2 hours then it may not be quite as good value for someone like me.

I bought the physical used on Switch for $30 and have been interested in playing it but it's been in my backlog for a while. But the performance and resolution increase, plus new content, feels like the perfect opportunity to finally play it. Same as what I did with Tears of the Kingdom, and what I plan to do with Xenoblade Chronicles X

I already finished the game and didn't really want to finish the post game contents or the unfinished parts so I'm good.

Never finished it on Switch, so it‘s kind of a no-brainer for me. At this point I‘m happy about every game that‘s 1080p in handheld mode, some of my Switch games look pretty rough.

Hmm, lemme check something.

...

Nope, I still don't have a Switch 2, so no. I will not. Thanks for asking.

Getting the upgrade pack day one, I'm really excited to check out the new content, plus it'll be nice to replay the base game at 60 FPS

It's my favorite 3D platformer, so yes.

Now, I'm not big on 3D platformers — but this was a good game.

Pass for me, got the game as a gift and thought it was okay but not okay enough I want to spend any of my own money on it. Kind of just not a game that does it for me.

I played the demo back in the day. Not interested. I'm happy for those who are excited for this.

I enjoyed Forgotten Land and $20 for an entire second campaign feels like a reasonable ask, so yeah.

Most likely, but not necessarily this month. Never played Forgotten Land so I'm excited to play it though.

Yup, definitely gonna get it !

It'll be my next games after DK Bananza. I did 100% the Switch 1 version, but it seems like they added a substantial amount of new content.

I'm gonna pick up the upgrade pack but might wait a bit since I'm still playing DK Bananza and have a few other games to go through. The base game was already great so this is a no brainer for me.

I'll be getting the upgrade. Its a good excuse to revisit this banger.

Double dibbing is easy decision when supporting Nintendo and especially when they throw the dlc for free in there!

Kirby devs always go all out on ports, remakes, or whatever...just look at Return to Dreamland Deluxe. Kinda sucks that I have to wait till the end of the month for this, but whatever. lol

Loved playing this with my 4 year old. We can't wait fir new adventures

I'm planning to play the original game on switch 2.
... as soon as I come across a used copy worth buying.

Already have the forgotten land but i like having the switch 2 content on card.
i'll just give the s1 version to a friend.

I would have to buy the game full price which isn't happening, I think il rent this one.

Of course.

Love that Little Pink Devourer of Worlds.

I will get it somewhere down the line, but I am waiting for reviews. It is a very good game, but I was a bit burnt out after playing the entire thing. I'm not sure how substantial the upgrade is.

Already pre-ordered/bought it.

Played the demo at the Switch 2 Experience it was Kirby and the Forgotten Land but the framerates and graphics where much better.

Me and the kids can't wait!

I still havent played the original, lol. Once I get down to it I will probably get the upgrade but who knows when that will be

Havent finished the base game so might aswell to that first. Though I gotta say for as charming as it is. I couldn't stick with it for long. Idk why but i just fall off very quickly.

My biggest issue with Kirby and the Forgotten Land was the 30 FPS, so I'm happy it's finally fixed. 3D platformers really should run at 60 fps at least, it's completely different experience.

Side note, I still remember my evil laughter about all these reviewers calling this game easy. You can tell they haven't 100%-ed it.

I really liked this game, but I rarely go back to games to play again. If the review is good, I may give it a go.

I meant to get it for the original Switch, but I just never got around to it. So this will be my first time playing it. Going the full version.

I already have Kirby and The Forgotten Land physical. I do prefer everything on the cartridge but could also pre-order the Switch 2 Edition for 45 euro. Otherwise I might have done the upgrade path. Probably selling the Switch 1 version.

Great game. Looking forward to the DLC.

It's one of the select few NS2 versions I'm motivated to get courtesy of actual added content. I don't have the original to upgrade, so it's just an item swap on my wishlist.

@beartown "Side note, I still remember my evil laughter about all these reviewers calling this game easy. You can tell they haven't 100%-ed it."

Yep. Boss battles especially. The no damage ones are nightmares!

The Switch version is presently sitting in my backlog, as of now I am undecided about playing it and then revisit it on Switch 2 for the extra content, or doing it all at once on the more powerful console (which I haven't bought yet). I suppose I'll wait for a few opinions, this is not the only game in queue after all.

I guess I’ll wait for reviews before I can give a definite yes, but I’m certainly very interested. The original has been on my wish list for a long while. The free demo felt polished but a little basic in the gameplay department, that’s why I held off buying the original Switch version.

Played through the base game recently, and I’ve had my fill of Kirby. I doubt the new content is worth $20.

@Mana_Knight Cuphead has entered the chat.

Completed and sold the original game so won't be buying it again.

being it has the new world i will be buying on Switch 2. played the demo, liked it. but Switch one copies where going for £40 area. so might as well buy the full blown Switch 2 version

Didn’t have a switch 1, so I’m enjoying all the games from the first generation for the first time. It will be nice to play Kirby in an upgraded version😀

HAL always delivers when it comes to this series, so hell yeah I'm getting the upgrade pack.

Upgrade paths will be my go to, as we have 2 Switch 1's still in the household.

My kids are mad for this game. I’ll be getting it for them for sure

I'll be waiting for the reviews see if the extra content is substantial/good enough. If it is I'll be going the upgrade path.

Absolutely. This game is so dope and I look forward to playing the DLC.

Upgrading because I want that DLC. Also, playing in the arena again will be fun.

I got the Switch 1 version, enjoyed a lot and sold it. Now I'm getting the Switch 2 version directly.

Great game, and now it seems even better.

@Liam_Doolan

"Will you be getting Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch 2?

• Yes, I'm buying the full game on Switch 2
• I'm going the upgrade path
• I'll be sticking with the original game on Switch
• No, I'm not interested"

Maybe add some more options, like:

• Yes, if the reviews are good.
• Undecided, not related to reviews.

I already 100% the game on the OG Switch, then in a baffling move I sold the physical game... but, seeing as there's a ton of new content, I'll be picking up the Switch 2 version and doing it all over again!

Picked the game up on Woot for about $20 less than retail, and holding onto it till the upgrade releases. First time playing it. Fired it up to check out the tutorial stage and to see how it runs, so I can compare after upgrade.

@Res462 I wouldn't dare. Lol. Kirby at super hard is my limit.

If they decided to include this as paid DLC for Switch 1 as well (which they totally could have) then yes.

Until I have a Switch 2 and can make that leap… then sadly not. Alas, looks like a fun time either way.

@Anti-Matter can't get the upgrade if you dont have SW2 anyway

Played the demo... i liked it but not enough to buy the full game. Now that my daughter is 5 though and is getting the hang of using a controller (thanks DKB!), this would be a good option to get, maybe around xmas.

Picked up the original on sale a while back, played through the first few levels, and put it down to focus on XCX DE. Haven't touched it since. This upgrade will be my reason to jump back in.

I picked up this and Mario Party Jamboree cheap second hand specifically for the upgrades. I’m on holiday in Switzerland and Italy when it drops so it’ll be something to look forward to when we get back.

Well, I recently got a Switch 2. Not sure if I’ll upgrade the Kirby game just yet. I’m really into the new DK game.

They should've added a "maybe a few years into the future" voting option 🤣

Upgrade path. Also probably going to wait until I'm done with Bananza.

I’ll be getting the upgrade, I’ve been wanting DLC for this game since it came out, I’m so happy it’s here even years later!

Going for the upgrade path just like I did with BOTW and TOTK.

Nah. 20 dollars for a bunch of reused assets. The 60 fps sounds good but that should be free.

While I will read the reviews before dropping $20 on what is probably fairly short dlc, we won't need it until my kid is back home from college Thanksgiving weekend, so we have time. But we almost certainly will. I'm hoping it's like Bowser's Fury, about 6 hours. Easily could be more if they add ice areas to every previous area in the game and we're playing through it again, like the Luigi levels in Mario.

I am glad we own it on Switch though, don't think I could $80. Got DKB on sale for $63 and that actually looks like a next gen Switch game to me.

The upgrade was my first purchase on the EShop when I got my Switch 2

Upgrade for me. I’ve had the OG game for ages but not got round to playing it yet so the upgrade will be the perfect time for me to dust it off!

I'm getting the upgrade pack. I already have the Switch version.

I love the base game, so of course I’m buying the expansion. I’m pretty sure it’s my favorite Kirby game.

@Mana_Knight You havent played dk bananza? I highly recommend it. its my favorite game of all time

Kirby, Zelda, and Xenoblade are the three series I'd buy almost anything for. 100% getting this, but it's still not a console seller for me.

@Arcata I was interested, but wanted this first. Also, have since been put off with reports off motion sickness. I get that very badly

I'll be interested to see the reviews and how much additional content it is before I make a firm decision. I 100% completed Forgotten Lands and obviously really enjoyed it! But can't tell if the new content feels worth the return or if I'd rather wait til the next big Kirby release instead

I beat it on Switch, but will happily revisit the new world with improved performance. I already appreciated the graphics the first time around, but smoother will be better still!

@parkerdeal that’s how I feel. I am pretty sure I will get it, unless it just reviews terribly

I'm definitely interested as I loved the OG game but it depends on how much new content there is tbh. Will wait for reviews and then maybe pick up once I've burned through a bit more of my backlog.

I've been meaning to get this game at some point, but now this version exists I might as well wait until I get a Switch 2 and then buy the S2 physical version.

Yeah... I'm going the upgrade path route. I don't feel like paying that Nintendo Tax again for DLC.

@Mana_Knight yes, yes, yes! To precise - only the boss battles. But they were really hard at the end.

I don't necessarily want to, but I'm probably going to get the full game on card. This has enough updates/new content to warrant it...besides, at this point, every GB of storage space is precious on Switch 2.

Upgrade path! Can’t wait loved the base game

This game has been in my backlog since the beginning: got it on D1 and played it just a bit. It looked great and nicely slow paced, but still way too easy. I think I'm going for the upgrade and give it another try now that I've beaten BotW again in the Switch 2 edition. It shouldn't take too long to beat anyway.
After that I'm going to take something for sickness and resume my Bananza game with the camera shaking disabled.

Of course! However it will have to wait until I have a Switch 2.

I cannot wait to play this game at 120fps in 4k. Jokes aside, the niece and nephew will love to play the new stuff when they come visit, so I will be buying the pack.

Really enjoyed the game,
but felt it was already enough.

i might wait to get this, i just finished dk and i have had my 3d platformer fill.
