Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
Priced at $79.99, this edition is available at multiple retailers including Walmart, Target, and GameStop. If you're already a proud owner of the original game, don't worry—there are options tailored just for you. Nintendo has adopted a sliding-scale pricing model for Switch 2 games, setting a new standard with titles like Mario Kart World also at $79.99, while others range from $69.99 to lower prices.
For those looking to upgrade from the original Switch version, an Upgrade Pack is available separately. This pack enhances the game to higher definition and faster frame rates, and includes the Jamboree TV expansion. You can purchase it on the Nintendo eShop or from select retailers as a printed download code, offering a cost-effective way to enjoy the new features.
What Is Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV?
The highlight of this edition is the exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, designed specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. It introduces new modes and minigames, utilizing innovative input types such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." Additionally, it leverages the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately at Target) for a unique gaming experience. Imagine up to four players using the camera to engage in minigames where their faces become part of the action—balancing digital Goombas on your head or hitting question blocks with your Joy-Con, among other fun activities.
This expansion is one of the most significant additions to a Switch 2 version of an original Switch game, making it particularly appealing for social gatherings and party game enthusiasts.
Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on Switch earned a stellar 9/10 in our review. Here's what we said:
“Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing followup to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series. Not only does it faithfully return to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 entries, it confidently improves upon it with a fantastic set of boards that introduce unique and memorable mechanics. It’s also the most flexible Mario Party has ever been, with tons of ways to customize your game, including its brilliant new optional Pro Rules that reduce luck-based elements to a minimum and crank up the strategy for those who want it. The wonderful maps are supported by a great lineup of new and returning minigames and character-specific challenges that steal the show, even if I wish there were just a few more minigames in the rotation. The side offerings may not have much staying power, but when partying with friends and family locally or online, Super Mario Party Jamboree boldly completes the series’ redemption arc as its newest superstar.”
