Jul 29, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is a huge package, whatever way you look at it. For newcomers looking for a great party game to accompany Mario Kart World, look no further. For owners of the base game, the new content is enjoyable enough to justify the added cost (especially if you have kids). One of the best Mario Party games just got better.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV brings the ultimate party experience to the new console, enhancing the already content-rich base game with innovative Switch 2 features like microphone and camera integration. While the core game's visuals show their age, the "Jamboree TV" expansion shines, offering fresh minigames, new modes like Frenzy to shorten playtimes, and robust multiplayer options for endless fun with friends and family.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV gives an already fantastic party game a huge shot in the arm, with a bunch of brilliant Mouse Mode and mic-based games that also allow you to see your big silly face as you play. It's all very knockabout, very easy to use, and very easy to enjoy. With a huge base game packing seven boards and a whole bunch of modes, and the Switch 2's new tech adding to the fun in meaningful ways, this is a thoroughly delightful and totally family-friendly way to party Mushroom Kingdom-style.
-
Jul 23, 2025Ultimately, Jamboree TV is where the real party is in Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV when it comes to new features tailor-made for the Switch 2.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV feels like more than just an expansion to a familiar game. It’s proof that Nintendo builds its consoles with features others may have already explored, yet only Nintendo dares to use them in ways that inspire. More than any technical detail, this experience delivers the pure joy of gaming, no matter your level of experience. Jamboree TV left me thinking about the future and smiling the entire time.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV is Nintendo's most complete party game, but debuts on Nintendo Switch 2 with some “buts” and questionable decisions, such as not having technically improved the Switch game or a very limited GameShare option. But make no mistake: it's still the king of the party.
-
Jul 23, 2025With its update for Nintendo Switch 2, Super Mario Party Jamboree brings more content than ever before to crown itself as the ultimate party game. If you want to get the most out of it, however, you'll need a camera compatible with Nintendo Switch 2. With that, laughs are guaranteed.
-
Jul 24, 2025I love that Nintendo is upgrading a bunch of their Switch games for their new console and if Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is any indication, we're in for some real delightful treats down the road.
-
Aug 26, 2025Although the new modes are a bit weak, there's no denying that Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV is a sensational multiplayer game.
-
Aug 7, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree: Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV establishes itself as the definitive version of one of the best games in the series, with a refreshed touch that takes advantage of the new hardware. For those seeking the most complete experience and willing to pay a little extra, this edition deserves a spot in their collection.
-
Jul 28, 2025Featuring a wide variety of mini-games that cleverly utilize the unique features of the Switch 2, this offers a fun and engaging experience for both solo and multiplayer play
-
Jul 24, 2025The game is an interesting option for Nintendo Switch 2, with new features that improve the original version. There aren’t many, but the minigames that use the microphone, camera, mouse, and HD Rumble of the new Joy-Con 2 show what the console can do and offer fun moments with friends or alone.
-
Jul 23, 2025Let's start with the premise that Super Mario Party Jamboree is a great, huge game that offers a huge amount of challenges, mini-games, scoreboards, and collectibles, and it comes back on Switch 2 with a new outfit for the occasion. The Jamboree TV is a nice addition, designed to take special advantage of the camera and put a face on all the participants, but also the new Joycon 2 features. The critical point, of course, is the price, certainly not low, but justified in Nintendo's view by the high (and undeniable) quality of the game. Making objective evaluations on the money is always complicated, but from our point of view Super Mario Party Jamboree is a really hilarious and engaging experience, especially if you don't mind Nintendo's usual long-windedness between menus and various skits, including the new Jamboree TV, which doesn't revolutionize the formula, but takes good advantage of the new hardware potential.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree lives up to its name in practically every way. It's equal parts lavish and boisterous, offering up a selection of boards with novel and fun gimmicks that make it a constant joy to come back to. Adding a wide variety of ways to play, including heaps of customisable rules, only sweetens the deal. Without a doubt, Super Mario Party Jamboree is Mario Party at its best.
-
Jul 23, 2025A solid game with the benefits of the original, with the added incentive of having new modes and options to play. Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is the definitive version of the game and is a perfect game to pick up if you didn't get the original on Switch.
-
Jul 23, 2025With an expanded selection of minigames, new catchy modes and implementation of Switch 2 hardware features, this is the definitive edition of Super Party Mario Jamboree. It brings not only better resolutions or framerate, but nice content additions for long party sessions.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition más Jamboree TV proves how to do console upgrades right. Instead of just visual improvements, Nintendo added features that genuinely use the Switch 2's unique capabilities. The camera integration and new modes like Show de Bowser couldn't exist on original hardware, making this a true evolution. Team gameplay and compact matches add real strategic depth beyond cosmetic changes. For regular Mario Party players, the social transformation justifies the upgrade. Seeing real-time reactions creates memorable moments impossible elsewhere in the genre. Main limitation is requiring additional camera hardware, though core experiences work with just the integrated microphone.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree is still one of the best Party-Games on Switch and retains this status on Switch 2, because anything that makes the game great is included. The new mode Jamboree TV delivers new things, especially some fresh and exclusive mini games with mouse control or mic support. But that's more like a bonus for fans and nothing that makes the great Jamboree a better game.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree TV leverages Nintendo Switch 2’s features to deliver fresh, albeit uneven modes. The mouse mode stands out as particularly fun, while camera and microphone features still require refinement. Despite some confusion regarding content structure, it’s a solid pick if you’re looking to enhance the original experience.
-
Jul 23, 2025The minigames that take advantage of mouse mode are notable, and we would have liked to see more that took advantage of the camera and microphone. Despite all this, it's a highly recommended game, as if it was already comprehensive, it's even more so now, adding a touch of experimentation and novelty especially suitable for those who haven't tried the game (or want to expand it, which may also be worthwhile). If you want a long-lasting, high-quality party game, this is the spot you should definitely check out.
-
Jul 23, 2025Perhaps, for reasons of consistency/compatibility with those who don't yet have a Switch 2, Jamboree TV doesn't 'dare' to add too many new minigames, but limits itself to slightly 'revising' the gameplay of existing ones and making a few purely cosmetic additions. The attempt to give the Switch 2 Camera a meaning that isn't just hedonistic for the challengers is commendable, while the Bowser Show part, with its three rhythmic and vocal games in a row, feels like a wasted opportunity. I'm therefore inclined to start from the score that Super Mario Party Jamboree originally received (a solid 9) and make a Solomonic average based on what I would have given to the update alone (7.8), for a total of…

Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV features new modes of play atop an already exhaustive number of mini-games. The game maintains its same strike-rate as well, propelling an already excellent game to new heights.
-
Aug 25, 2025Jamboree TV lacks a bit of coherence in the overall Mario Party experience but it serves the Switch 2 well in serving up family-friendly options that show off the new machine. Don’t forget that Switch 2’s unique GameShare function lets you connect another Switch 2 or the older Switch console so that up to four players can compete – but requires only one copy of the game.
-
Jul 30, 2025The new games delight, but the split between Jamboree and TV dulls the fun.
-
Jul 28, 2025It’s still a great game – probably the best Mario Party game ever – and you’ll have a blast with the core game whether you’re playing it on Switch 1 or Switch 2, but the $20 upgrade pack that is Jamboree TV is nowhere near as essential.
-
Jul 25, 2025Classic Mario Party with interesting twists and fun new modes. Jamboree TV on the Switch 2 brings even more entertaining new features, though the base game doesn't benefit from the higher resolution.
-
Jul 24, 2025The original game remains the best entry in the series but Jamboree TV on its own adds little of value and isn’t worth the upgrade.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Jamboree arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 in its definitive version: improved from a technical and gameplay perspective, the base game is enriched by its television counterpart, a set of more movement-oriented mini-games that take advantage of the new technology offered by Switch 2. More quantity, with the same high quality thanks to a Jamboree that less than a year ago established itself as a great episode, a grand return of the 1998 saga. If the goal of Jamboree TV is to sell cameras, Nintendo has chosen the ideal exponent: the ability to actively engage the player in a colourful and fun party game is unique and only possible through video capture of the room and players. It works, creating truly hilarious moments, with the microphone and mouse completing the picture of innovation, allowing for the execution of well-designed mini-games that are never too difficult and perfect for integrating non-players or casual players.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree remains a solid game, and I feel like Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is a natural pick-up for families. If someone is in a home with multiple players who own both Switch or Switch 2 systems, it could be great for game nights. However, if you’re going to go with one Switch or Switch 2 system for a group session or plan to play only online, I think you might be fine sticking with the original game.
-
Jul 23, 2025All in all, it’s a worthwhile update if you liked the original game – and perfect for families with kids.
-
Jul 23, 2025There's no getting around it: Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is the best way to enjoy the latest iteration of the party franchise featuring the heroic plumber in overalls. The base game returns in its complete version, enhanced by the Jamboree TV expansion, which dramatically increases the amount of content included in the package. Not all of the new features seemed particularly impressive, but all things considered, it's still one of the best party games on the market.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree is still one of the best games in the series, but we feel like there was more that could be done to truly make the Switch 2 an unforgettable experience.
-
Jul 23, 2025Players aged 4 to 80 can have fun right away with this huge number of irreverent mini-games, with Nintendo Switch 2 raising the possibilities with voice-controlled mini-games and mouse-like controls.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV takes the beloved boardgame series to new heights, emphasising the Switch 2's focus on social play while making the most of the new camera and the Joy Con 2’s great mouse controls. Not all of the DLC's content are essential, relying on gimmicks that you’ll quickly tire of, but as a whole package, this is a great next step for Mario Party.
-
Jul 23, 2025Super Mario Party Jamboree Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV is a clever way to add fresh content to a recent multiplayer favourite, without coercing anyone to buy the more expensive edition just because they’re playing on Switch 2. For most players, I’d recommend buying the cheaper base game first. It includes some of the best Mario Party boards and mini-games in years and it runs well on Switch 2 without the upgrade. When you’re ready for more – and have enough Joy-Con 2s for four players – kick-on with Jamboree TV as DLC for a more precise afterparty.
-
Jul 23, 2025It goes without saying how much we recommend Super Mario Party Jamboree, as you could check out in our original coverage. This is a wonderful installment of this beloved series, one that refreshes it with truly brilliant and innovative ideas, yet is also very aware of what has always made this franchise so special. Is Jamboree TV worth paying for? If you have someone to play with, the answer would be a resounding yes. Returning to this title that has given us so many laughs will be a true delight. If, on the other hand, you're not sure who you could take advantage of all the new features with, it's best to think twice, because its price, as we already told you, is not low. Of course, if you didn't give it a try on the original Switch, now's an unbeatable time to continue developing your Switch 2.
-
Jul 23, 2025Is Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV worth the cost of the upgrade? Sure, if you can afford it. Without the camera you’ll be missing out on some fun features and minigames, and if you’re playing with a group of four then you’ll need an extra pair of Switch 2 Joy-Cons instead of using your old pair for the original Switch. Otherwise, expect to be missing out on a large chunk of content.
-
Jul 23, 2025Though Mario Party Jamboree’s Switch 2 additions are of mixed quality, its best additions, which take advantage of the Switch 2 hardware, undoubtedly elevate what’s already one of the best series entries.
-
Jul 23, 2025When guests come over and want to play Mario Party, there's a 'definitive edition' of sorts to trot out.
-
Jul 23, 2025Outside of the Switch 2 Welcome Tour app, Jamboree TV is the most comprehensive demonstration of the Switch 2’s capabilities we’ve seen yet. The mic, the camera, and the mouse controls are all thoroughly incorporated into the game. I had a harder time with some systems, but I can still grasp what Nintendo is reaching for here. Children and the similarly flexible/exuberant will latch onto the Bowser Live segment, while crustier gamers (such as myself) will appreciate the Carnival Coaster. Honestly, there’s a good chance you’ll love all of it, even if I didn’t. If you’re looking to dive into the latest generation of Mario Party games, the Jamboree TV Switch 2 bundle is the perfect way to do so.

CNETJul 23, 2025For $20, Mario Party Jamboree's Switch 2 mode doesn't feel like anything essential. Jamboree is a great Mario Party game already, and the improvements -- including being able to Game Share to other local Switches for multi-screen multiplayer -- might be fun to try.
-
Jul 23, 2025The upgrade winds up falling on the inessential side – especially since it misses a chance to add some new maps or characters – but the full package is one of the Switch 2’s smartest value propositions at present. Super Mario Party Jamboree now stands as a robust party game that makes up for its shortcomings in sheer variety. Sure, Carnival Coaster isn’t something I’ll want to play for an hour at a time, but it works as one small attraction in a larger amusement park. I hope that its successor puts a bit more work into the best rides of the bunch, because there’s a whole playground of potential here.
