You can purchase this game at several retailers, including Target, Walmart, and GameStop, all priced at $79.99. If you already own the original game, you might want to consider the options available to you.

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 raised to $79.99. Notably, Mario Kart World also carries this higher price tag, while other titles may range from $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 the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. This upgrade enhances the game with higher definition graphics, faster frame rates, and the new Jamboree TV expansion. If you already own the original game, you can opt to buy just the upgrade pack separately, available on the Nintendo eShop or as a printed download code from select retailers, which can save you some money.

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

The standout feature of this edition is the Jamboree TV expansion, exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. This expansion introduces new modes and minigames, utilizing innovative input types such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and enhanced rumble features. It also integrates with the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately, available at Target), allowing up to four players to incorporate their faces into the gameplay for interactive fun, such as balancing digital Goombas or hitting question blocks with Joy-Con controllers.

This expansion represents one of the most significant updates to a Switch 2 version of an original Switch game, making it particularly appealing for social gatherings and party game enthusiasts.

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:

“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.”
