Didn't play it initially cuz of 30fps. Looks really good

New shit looks good that they've added. Nintendo doin well with that trippy art shit lately in their games.

 

[Punished Miku]

It wasn't just 30 fps, but also had like 15 fps enemies in the far distance. Game is fantastic but I can't really stomach paying for these upgrades.

 

[amigastar]

My favorite Kirby game by far.

 

[Warspite]

Biggest surprise of the Switch 1, loved it. The upgrade is a bit too pricey, see if I can pick it up cheaper at a later point.

 

[keefged4]

I didn't play this first time around so I am interested, but not at that price jesus christ haha

 

[nikos]

This game was fun but I didn't play it much because of performance, so I'll definitely upgrade as long as Nintendo doesn't pull any sort of BS.

I don't think the "main game" wording is anything to worry about. Star-Crossed World is a new release, so there's nothing to "upgrade" there.

 

[ecosse_011172]

This'll be one I would consider later in a sale but there will always be many games in my backlog that look better.
Poor Kirby.

 

[Arsic]

Difficultywise is this like Odyssey, Bananza, or more difficult?

 

[MSduderino]

Glad I snagged a copy of the original edition on sale at $40 on woot. Have been waiting to play it with upgrade.

 

[mobilesworking]

Easy buy

...on the after-market.

 

[diffusionx]

Ill probably check this out as I skipped the original and now own a Switch 2.

 

[Punished Miku]

Little easier. But there's lots of optional secrets, time trials and no hit boss stuff. Its great.

 

[DreamcastSkies]

I always meant to get this on the Switch but never got around to it. With the improvements on graphics/performance and additional content, I'll be picking this up at or near launch.

 

[Kataploom]

I played it at 30 fps because that was the only thing in my backlog for my current mood back then, but then I didn't want to do 100% even it's an easy game because I reached my limit for 30 fps gameplay lol.

And that disclaimer about the base game having the upgrades, looks like they feared that Mario Party situation harms their sales.

 

[Connificent]

Already preordered.

 

[Kataploom]

BTW this is one of the hidden lookers of the Switch 1, the game is beautiful but also has some pretty great graphics features like very rounded curved surfaces, real time global illumination, and now on Switch 2 it has one of two: Raytraced or Planar reflections (look at the reflex below in the crystal, that's 100% not SSR). I'm pretty excited for the new one, meanwhile this will carry me.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Just go buy a used copy and then upgrade it for $20

 

[analog_future]

Yeah I'll be getting this. Loved the base game

 

[drganon]

Played it last year. Fun game, but don't need to play it again so soon.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Skipped this on Switch 1 because I hate Kirby but definitely picking it up for Switch 2. Looks like great fun. I love Kirby.

 

[Celcius]

Our save progress carries over right?
Meaning if we buy the upgrade then we don't have to completely start over?

If it's like every other S1 upgraded game yeah you get the option to carry over your save when you first start up

I really should.

 

[Danjin44]

I'm VERY excited for this! I LOVED Forgotten Land in original Switch.

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

The base game is a great chill game much like the Yoshi games focused on collecting rather than tight platforming. Definately pick it up if you haven't played the original.

It's £17 for the upgrade and extra content in the UK which I think is fair. I was expecting £20/25.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I got my wife addicted to kirby because of forgotten land. I got no choice but to get this.

 

[Robb]

Never bothered to pick this up on Switch (1) as I've always found Kirby games ridiculously easy when compared to Mario games, which are already pretty easy generally.

But I might go for this version given all the praise I've heard for the game.

 

[Dacvak]

Bought this for my nieces ages ago, and I'm borrowing the game now. Super excited to finally play this. Is it a rock solid 60fps?

 

[Gambit2483]

Seriously considering buying this (again)...if just to have the complete game on one card, and save precious storage space...sigh...that price tag tho

 

[Willbuster]

My daughter loves Kirby, looking forward to a reason to jump back in for the better performance alone.

 

[Woopah]

concerning:

Maybe I'm misisng something, but what is concerning?

I think they're taking it to mean that the expansion content might have performance issues, but that's definitely not what it means within the context of the trailer. They're pretty clearly saying "in addition to the new content the core game will also have an improved resolution and frame rate." Obviously the Star-Crossed World levels can't have "improved" anything since they didn't exist before now.

I mean he's freaking invincible and overpowered, so of course the game is easy. I don't even understand why he bothers going on adventures

Yes that's what I understood too.

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

I found this 3D adventure completely uninteresting, visually very empty, technically limited. It felt like playing God of War, moving from one place to another, but without the appeal of God of War, without its combat, without its swimming, and without its brilliance! I'm a huge fan of the 2D Kirby games, but this 3D one was a failure in my opinion. In fact, I didn't even finish it.

A shame...I thought the game had decent, unique puzzle solving elements (for a Nintendo game). You have to remember, Nintendo makes these game for ALL age ranges of gamers to enjoy.

That said I can't wait to see what they come up with the new "Star Crossed"? DLC

In looking at the box in the video the Switch 2 version comes with the Switch game and an upgrade pack. Is the upgrade on the cart itself? Or is it a code you have to redeem? I'm not sure how it works.

Everything is on the card, my friend. No need to download anything

For BotW, TotK, and Mario Party Jamboree it has all been on the cartridge when you purchase the physical Switch 2 Edition(s), so I assume this'll be the same.

This is just expansion for main game on Switch. Hard pass as a new purchase.

Seems like a super lazy expansion as well. Literally glittery star trails on top of existing levels. I guess we'll see, but first impression isnt great.
