Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is slated for an exclusive release on Nintendo Switch 2 on July 24. This new edition not only includes everything from the original party game available on the Nintendo Switch but also introduces the exciting Jamboree TV expansion. This expansion transforms your gaming experience into a game show hosted by Toad. You can now preorder the game, and it's available at retailers such as Walmart. Let's delve deeper into what this game has to offer.

Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV

You can purchase Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV for $79.99 at various retailers including Walmart, Target, and GameStop. If you already own the original game, you might want to consider your options carefully, as this edition is the only one available.

Yep, It Costs $79.99

Nintendo has adopted a sliding-scale pricing model for its Switch 2 games. While most first-party games for the original Switch were priced at $59.99, with exceptions like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $69.99, the Switch 2 games are seeing a price increase. Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario Kart World are both priced at $79.99, while other titles may range from $69.99 or lower.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This edition of the game includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade pack enhances the game with higher definition graphics and faster frame rates, and it also includes the Jamboree TV expansion content. If you already own the original game, you can buy the upgrade pack separately from the Nintendo eShop or select retailers as a printed download code, which could save you some money.

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

The highlight of this edition is the Switch 2-exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, which introduces new modes and minigames to the party. These minigames utilize new input types exclusive to the Switch 2, such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." Additionally, the expansion makes use of the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately and available at Target), which adds a unique twist to the gameplay. With the camera, up to four players can have their faces integrated into the game, participating in activities like balancing digital goombas on their heads or hitting question blocks with their Joy-Con.

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

Our Review of the Original Game

The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch was highly praised, earning a 9/10 in our review. Here's an excerpt:

"Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing follow-up 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."
