Overview

• The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV upgrade launched on July 24 with an $80 entry price or a $20 upgrade for existing Super Mario Party Jamboree owners
• Jamboree TV introduces two new modes: Carnival Coaster’s on-rails shooter and co-op mouse-controlled minigames, plus Bowser Live’s camera and microphone-driven challenges
• Reviewers praise the mouse-controlled minigames for their intuitive design and engaging gameplay examples such as Shell Hockey and Toad-ally Electric Escape
• Camera and microphone modes draw criticism for grainy image quality, tracking glitches and a small pool of responsive minigames that quickly lose novelty
• Critics question whether the limited new boards, siloed menu integration and uneven mode quality justify the $20 price tag for most players
