While there are various places to purchase this game, it's important to note that it's available in only one edition. This is great news for those looking for a straightforward buying decision.
Yep, It Costs $79.99
Nintendo has adopted a sliding-scale pricing model for Switch 2 games. While most first-party games for the original Switch were priced at $59.99 (with the exception of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which was $69.99), Switch 2 games have seen a price increase, with Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario Kart World both set at $79.99. Other games may be priced at $69.99 or less.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
This edition of the game includes the original Switch game plus the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade pack enhances the game with higher definition graphics and faster frame rates, and it adds the Jamboree TV expansion content. If you already own the original game for the Switch, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately from the Nintendo eShop or at select retailers as a printed download code, allowing you to save some money.
What Is Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV?
The standout feature of this release is the Switch 2-exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, which introduces new modes and minigames. It incorporates new input types unique to the Switch 2, including audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." The expansion also utilizes the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately and available at Target).
The camera accessory adds a unique twist by integrating players' faces into the game. Up to four players can use a single camera to participate in activities such as balancing digital goombas on their heads or hitting question blocks with their Joy-Con.
This expansion represents one of the most significant upgrades to a Switch 2 version of an original Switch game, making it particularly appealing for those who enjoy hosting friends for party game nights.
Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch received high praise from us, earning a 9/10 in our review:
"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."
