What Is Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV?
The highlight of this edition is the exclusive Jamboree TV expansion for Switch 2, introducing new modes and minigames to the party. It utilizes innovative input types unique to the Switch 2, such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." Additionally, it incorporates the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately, available at Target), which adds an exciting layer to gameplay by integrating players' faces into the game. Up to four players can use a single camera to engage 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 updates to an original Switch game for the Switch 2, making it a perfect choice for those who love hosting gaming sessions with friends and family.
Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Switch received high praise, 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.”
