Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV
This edition is priced at $79.99 and is available at multiple retailers including Walmart, Target, and GameStop.

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), Switch 2 games are set at a higher price point, with Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario Kart World both at $79.99. Other titles may vary between $69.99 and lower.
What Is Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV?
The standout feature of this edition is the Switch 2-exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, introducing new modes and minigames. These minigames leverage unique input types available only on the Switch 2, including audio recognition, mouse controls, and enhanced rumble features. Additionally, the expansion utilizes the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately and available at Target), allowing up to four players to integrate their faces into the gameplay. Imagine balancing digital Goombas on your head or hitting question blocks with your Joy-Con, all while your face is part of the action.
This expansion marks one of the most significant updates for a Switch 2 version of an original Switch game, making it particularly appealing for social gatherings and party game enthusiasts.
Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch was highly acclaimed, earning a 9/10 in our review. We praised it for its faithful return to the classic Mario Party formula, enhanced with unique and memorable mechanics across its boards. The game's flexibility, with customizable options and the introduction of Pro Rules that minimize luck and emphasize strategy, was a standout feature. While the side offerings were less memorable, the main game shone brightly, especially when played with friends and family, both locally and online.
