The much-anticipated Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is slated for an exclusive release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on July 24. This edition not only includes the original party game for Nintendo Switch but also introduces the innovative Jamboree TV expansion, which transforms your gaming experience into a lively game show hosted by Toad. You can now secure your preorder (check it out at Walmart). Let's delve into the details and see what this exciting package has to offer.

Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV

You can purchase this game at various retailers including Walmart, Target, and GameStop, all priced at $79.99. It's great to know that it's available in just one edition, making your choice straightforward.

Yep, It Costs $79.99

Nintendo has introduced a sliding-scale pricing model for Switch 2 games. While the majority of first-party games on the original Switch were priced at $59.99 (with The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom being an exception at $69.99), the Switch 2 sees a new high of $79.99. This pricing is consistent with other Switch 2 titles like Mario Kart World, while others may be priced at $69.99 or less.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This edition of the game includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. This upgrade pack enhances the base game with higher definition visuals and faster frame rates, as well as introducing the Jamboree TV expansion. If you're already a proud owner of the original game, you can buy the upgrade pack separately from the Nintendo eShop or select retailers as a printed download code, which is a cost-effective option.

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

The highlight of this edition is the Jamboree TV expansion, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2, which introduces new modes and minigames. These minigames leverage new input methods unique to the Switch 2, including audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." Additionally, the expansion makes use of the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (available separately; see it at Target).

The camera accessory's integration into the game is particularly noteworthy, as it allows up to four players to see their faces within the game environment. This feature enables fun activities like balancing digital Goombas on your head or hitting question blocks with your Joy-Con, enhancing the interactive and immersive nature of the party experience.

This expansion is one of the most significant additions to a Switch 2 version of an original Switch game, making it an excellent choice for those who enjoy hosting game nights with friends and family.

Our Review of the Original Game

It's worth mentioning that the original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch was highly acclaimed and became one of our top-rated Mario Party games. In our 9/10 review, we stated:

“Super Mario Party Jamboree is an outstanding sequel to Mario Party Superstars and undoubtedly one of the finest entries in the series. It not only returns to the beloved formula of the Nintendo 64 era but also enhances it with a remarkable array of boards featuring unique and engaging mechanics. Its versatility shines through with ample customization options, including the brilliant new optional Pro Rules that minimize luck-based elements and emphasize strategy. The captivating maps are complemented by an excellent selection of new and classic minigames, along with character-specific challenges that are truly the highlight of the game. Although I wish there were a few more minigames, the core experience is unparalleled. The additional modes may not have long-term appeal, but when it comes to local or online multiplayer with friends and family, Super Mario Party Jamboree boldly reclaims its status as a star in the Mario Party series.”
