I've been playing Kirby games for 30 years, but you won't catch me with Kirby and the Forgotten Land on Switch 2

I've been playing Kirby games since the days before the puffball was even pink on the box, but Kirby and the Forgotten Land totally fell off my radar.

Now that the Star-Crossed DLC has arrived, it feels like the perfect opportunity to get acquainted with one of the past best Switch games, but I definitely won't be grabbing that new Nintendo Switch 2 boxed copy to do so.

Instead of adding another physical Switch 2 game to my collection, I've got my sights set on grabbing the original game, which is down to $44.99 at Woot, and the Switch 2 upgrade pack through my Switch 2 handheld's eShop. I will need to attempt to free up some space on the already bustling OG Switch game collection shelf, but the cash saved and cute adventures to be had will make it worth it in the long run.
