Excitement is building as Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is set to launch exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 24. This new edition encompasses all the fun of the original party game for Nintendo Switch, and enhances the experience with the innovative Jamboree TV expansion, hosted by none other than Toad. Preorders are currently open, and you can find it at retailers like Walmart. Let's explore what this package has in store for us.

Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV

Priced at $79.99, you can grab this game at Walmart, Target, or GameStop. It's a singular edition, making it straightforward for buyers to choose. If you're already a fan of the original, this edition offers a seamless upgrade with added value.

Yep, It Costs $79.99

Nintendo has adopted a sliding-scale pricing model for their Switch 2 games. While many original Switch games were priced at $59.99, with exceptions like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $69.99, Switch 2 titles are now seeing a higher ceiling of $79.99. This trend is consistent with other releases such as Mario Kart World, although some games are still available at $69.99 or less.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This edition includes both the original Switch game and the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade pack enhances the visuals with higher definition and smoother frame rates, and introduces the Jamboree TV expansion. If you already own the original game, you can opt to purchase the upgrade pack separately through the Nintendo eShop or select retailers, allowing you to save on costs.

What Is Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV?

The standout feature of this release is the Jamboree TV expansion, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. It introduces new modes and minigames that leverage the unique capabilities of the Switch 2, including audio recognition, mouse controls, and more expressive rumble features. Additionally, the expansion utilizes the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately, available at Target), which allows up to four players to have their faces incorporated into the game for interactive fun like balancing digital Goombas on their heads or hitting question blocks with their Joy-Con.

This expansion is a significant addition to the original Switch game, making it an excellent choice for those who love hosting lively game nights with friends and family.

Our Review of the Original Game

The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch was a hit, earning a 9/10 in our review. We praised it as an exceptional sequel to Mario Party Superstars, highlighting its return to the classic formula with innovative board mechanics and the flexibility to customize gameplay. The introduction of Pro Rules was a game-changer, reducing luck and enhancing strategic elements. The game was lauded for its engaging minigames and character-specific challenges, although we noted a desire for more minigames in the mix. While the side offerings were less impactful, the core party experience with friends, both locally and online, solidified its status as a stellar entry in the Mario Party series.
