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. It introduces new modes and minigames, utilizing innovative input types such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and enhanced rumble features. Additionally, it incorporates the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately and available at Target), which can be used to integrate players' faces into the game.

Our Review of the Original Game

The original Super Mario Party Jamboree on the Nintendo Switch was highly acclaimed, earning a 9/10 in our review. We praised it as an excellent follow-up to Mario Party Superstars, describing it as one of the best entries in the series. It successfully blends the classic formula with innovative mechanics, offering flexible gameplay options and the strategic depth of Pro Rules, which minimizes luck-based elements. The game's diverse set of boards and engaging minigames were highlighted as standout features, despite a wish for more minigames in the rotation.
