Yep, It Costs $79.99

Nintendo has adopted a sliding-scale pricing model for its Switch 2 titles. While the majority of 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 Switch 2 titles such as Mario Kart World, although other games may be priced at $69.99 or less.

Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately

The Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV includes the original Switch game alongside a Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. This pack enhances the game with higher definition graphics and faster frame rates, plus the Jamboree TV expansion content. For those who already own the original game, the upgrade pack is available separately via the Nintendo eShop and select retailers as a printed download code, allowing you to save on costs.

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

The highlight of this edition is the Switch 2-exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, which introduces new modes and minigames to the party. These minigames leverage new input types exclusive to the Switch 2, such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and "more expressive rumble." The expansion also utilizes the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately and available at Target), which adds a unique twist by integrating players' faces into the game. Up to four players can engage in activities like balancing digital goombas on their heads or hitting question blocks with their Joy-Con, enhancing the party atmosphere.

This expansion is a significant addition to the original game, making it an excellent choice for those who love hosting game nights and playing with friends.

Our Review of the Original Game

The original Super Mario Party Jamboree for the Nintendo Switch received high praise, earning a 9/10 in our review. We noted, "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, but 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."
