Nintendo Expands Southeast Asia Appeal with Exclusive Kirby and the Forgotten Land Switch 2 Physical Edition
Nintendo continues its commitment to international fans and collectors with the official release of "Kirby and the Forgotten Land Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World," arriving exclusively for the Southeast Asian market.
Scheduled to ship on August 28, 2025, this region-specific bundle marks another milestone as Nintendo broadens its hardware and physical software offerings for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
This special edition includes an English-language, physical version of both “Kirby and the Forgotten Land” and “Star-Crossed World,” tailored for the Southeast Asian audience.
Notably, all new first-party Nintendo Switch games released in this region now feature clean covers free from obstructing age rating labels, making these releases particularly desirable among avid collectors and dedicated Nintendo fans.
The absence of prominent rating stickers on the box art ensures the product retains its visual appeal, positioning it as a noteworthy collectible.
Nintendo has confirmed that this edition will be distributed on a traditional Nintendo Switch game card, eliminating the need for any downloads prior to gameplay.
This approach upholds the company’s longstanding tradition of delivering accessible, ready-to-play physical games—a feature especially appreciated by collectors and players in regions with varying internet access.
Customers who secure their copy through authorized retailers should note that their payment method will be charged immediately at checkout, with shipments commencing on or after the official release date.
For global fans eager to add this edition to their shelves, shipping logistics have been streamlined: free international airmail shipping with tracking is provided.
Delivery estimates are between 5–14 business days for North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, while Central and South American customers can expect their order to arrive in approximately 2–4 weeks.
All units are shipped directly from Singapore, reflecting Nintendo’s efforts to enhance service for international markets.
This dual-packages underscores Nintendo’s strategy to serve dedicated international communities with official English physical editions for Nintendo Switch 2.
Collectors and players seeking region-exclusive Nintendo releases now have a unique opportunity to own this “ratingless” edition—a testament to Nintendo’s evolving approach to both global game distribution and fan engagement.
