You can find Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV for $79.99 at various retailers such as Walmart, Target, and GameStop. It's worth noting that this game is only available in one edition, making your purchasing decision straightforward.

Yep, It Costs $79.99

Nintendo has adopted a sliding-scale pricing model for Switch 2 games. While many 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 ceiling for Switch 2 games has been set at $79.99. This pricing is also seen in other Switch 2 titles like Mario Kart World, though some games are priced at $69.99 or less.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

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

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

The highlight of this edition is the Jamboree TV expansion, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. It introduces new modes and minigames that enrich the party experience. These minigames leverage unique input types available only on the Switch 2, including audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." The expansion also utilizes the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately, available at Target) to bring a new level of immersion. Minigames using the camera allow up to four players to participate, integrating players' faces directly into the game for 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. We described it as "an amazing followup to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series." It successfully returns to the classic formula while introducing new, memorable mechanics through its boards. The game offers flexibility with various customization options, including the innovative Pro Rules that minimize luck-based elements and enhance strategy. Despite a wish for more minigames, the existing lineup and character-specific challenges were lauded as standout features.
