Fans of the beloved Mario franchise have something to celebrate as Super Mario Party Jamboree, which first launched for the Nintendo Switch in October, is gearing up for a highly anticipated release on the Nintendo Switch 2 scheduled for July 24. This new version, aptly named Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV - Switch 2 Edition, promises to deliver an enhanced gaming experience, featuring improved graphics and frame rates along with a wealth of new content, primarily due to the included Jamboree TV expansion. This expansion adds a host of exciting new modes and mini-games, elevating the fun for both new and returning players.

Preorders for the Super Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV - Switch 2 Edition are currently available at select retailers. For those who already own a copy of the original game on the Switch, there is an enticing offer to upgrade to the new version at the modest price of $20 once it becomes available. This upgrade will allow existing players to enjoy all the new features and content of the Switch 2 edition without having to purchase the full-priced game, which retails at $80.

The upgrade process is designed to be hassle-free, applicable to both physical and digital copies of the original Super Mario Party Jamboree game. For players looking to purchase a physical version of the original game, Amazon currently lists it for $52.50, down from its original price of $60.

Our review of Super Mario Party Jamboree awarded it a score of 6/10, praising its original maps as some of the best seen in recent years and highlighting its status as a fun party game brimming with chaotic mini-games. However, the game was criticized for feeling slightly bloated with too many game modes, and some mini-games were noted as being too slow, disrupting the overall pacing of matches. Despite these critiques, fans of the Mario Party series will likely find much to enjoy in this latest installment.

In addition to Super Mario Party Jamboree, there are many other exciting games available for preorder for the Switch 2. Notable titles include the charming farming simulator Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar and the thrilling action of Donkey Kong Bananza. Additionally, classic Switch games such as Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Kirby and the Forgotten Land are receiving upgrades for the new console, with preorders now open.

Players interested in enhancing their gaming experience with the Switch 2 may want to consider the new Switch 2 Camera, which will be almost essential for accessing the myriad of new features in Super Mario Party Jamboree. Moreover, acquiring an additional set of Joy-Con 2 Controllers (2-Pack) could be a wise choice to allow more friends and family to join in on the fun.
