Overview

  • The Jamboree TV expansion for Switch 2 adds 20 new minigames along with mouse, camera, and mic modes that leverage the console's hardware enhancements.
  • The core Jamboree mode remains unchanged in graphics and frame rate, mirroring the original Switch release.
  • Players must choose between three launch options—base Jamboree, Jamboree TV expansion, or GameShare—rather than a unified upgraded title.
  • The Pro ruleset from the original Mario Party Jamboree is unavailable in the new expansion, which instead offers Frenzy and Tag-Team rulesets.
  • Many Switch 2 owners have voiced frustration over paying premium prices for segmented updates and the omission of core enhancements present in other first-party ports.
