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 exceptions like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $69.99, the ceiling for Switch 2 games has been raised to $79.99. This pricing is consistent with other titles like Mario Kart World, whereas other games may be priced at $69.99 or lower.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

This version 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 adds the Jamboree TV expansion content. If you already own the original game for Switch, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately on 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 standout feature of this edition is the Switch 2-exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, which introduces new modes and minigames. It leverages new input types unique to the Switch 2, such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." Additionally, it utilizes the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately, available at Target) for interactive gameplay. Minigames that use the camera accessory allow up to four players to participate, integrating their faces into the game for activities like balancing digital goombas on their heads or hitting question blocks with Joy-Con controllers.

This expansion is one of the most significant updates 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 Switch was a standout title, earning a 9/10 in our review. We praised it for being a remarkable follow-up to Mario Party Superstars and one of the best entries in the series. It successfully returns to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 era while introducing innovative board mechanics and offering extensive customization options, including the new Pro Rules that enhance strategic gameplay. The game's engaging maps and diverse minigames, along with character-specific challenges, make it a stellar addition to the Mario Party franchise.
