Super Mario Party Jamboree Hits Sales Milestone

Since its launch in October 2024, Super Mario Party Jamboree has soared to new heights, securing its position as the best-selling Nintendo title in Japan during the week of December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025. This family-friendly multiplayer party game has not only topped the Japanese sales charts but has also garnered critical acclaim and commercial success globally.

The latest addition to the cherished Mario Party series, Super Mario Party Jamboree, brings a fresh wave of excitement with new game boards, modes, and an expansive roster of playable characters. It seamlessly blends classic gameplay with innovative mechanics, catering to both newcomers and long-time fans. The game's introduction of multiplayer modes supporting up to 20 players has been particularly well-received, contributing to its success in the US sales charts in October 2024 and now in Japan.

According to data from the renowned Japanese gaming news outlet Famitsu, Super Mario Party Jamboree has surpassed the one million sales mark in Japan, with a total of 1,071,568 units sold as of January 5, 2025. Impressively, 117,307 units were sold in the last week of 2024, propelling it to the top of the weekly sales charts. This achievement places it ahead of major releases such as Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Moreover, Jamboree's weekly sales have outshone some of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games of all time, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, marking a significant milestone for the party game.

Although Super Mario Party Jamboree trails behind some titles in total lifetime sales in Japan, it has significantly outperformed Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake by selling three times more units in the same week. It also surpassed Minecraft, the best-selling video game of all time, by a ratio of seven to one. The question remains whether Jamboree can maintain its lead, especially with the anticipated announcement of the Nintendo Switch successor, which could impact the sales of existing Switch titles.

The Mario Party franchise continues to captivate audiences, with classics like the original Mario Party and Mario Party 2 gaining new life through ports to Nintendo Switch Online. As Super Mario Party Jamboree continues to enjoy steady sales, fans eagerly await any announcements regarding the game's future milestones.
