Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
This edition is available for a uniform price of $79.99 across various outlets, including Walmart, Target, and GameStop. If you already own the original game, there are options available to you, which we'll cover shortly.
Yep, It Costs $79.99
Nintendo has adopted a dynamic pricing model for its Switch 2 games. While many first-party titles 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 sees a new ceiling of $79.99. This pricing is consistent with other high-profile titles like Mario Kart World, though some games remain at $69.99 or lower.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
The Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV includes both the original Switch game and an upgrade pack. This upgrade enhances the game to higher definition and faster frame rates, while also introducing the Jamboree TV expansion. For those who already own the original game, the upgrade pack can be purchased separately from the Nintendo eShop or select retailers as a printed download code, offering a cost-effective way to enjoy the new content.
What Is Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV?
The highlight of this edition is the exclusive Jamboree TV expansion for the Nintendo Switch 2. It adds new modes and minigames that utilize innovative input types, such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." Additionally, the expansion leverages the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately) to integrate players' faces directly into the game. This feature allows up to four players to engage in fun activities like balancing digital goombas on their heads or hitting question blocks with their Joy-Con controllers.
This expansion marks one of the most significant additions to a Switch 2 version of a game originally released on the Switch, making it particularly attractive for those who enjoy hosting game nights with friends and family.
Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree for the Nintendo Switch was a standout title, earning a 9/10 in our review. It was praised for its faithful return to the classic Mario Party formula with enhanced boards and mechanics. The game was lauded for its flexibility, allowing for extensive customization and the introduction of Pro Rules to minimize luck-based elements and emphasize strategy. While the side offerings were noted as less engaging, the core multiplayer experience was hailed as a stellar entry in the series.
