Super Mario Party Jamboree \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – who thought that name was a good idea? (Nintendo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nintendo has remastered Super Mario<\/a> Party Jamboree for the Switch 2<\/a> and added a bunch of new game modes but is the new content worth it?<\/p>\n

The Switch 2 isn\u2019t even two months old yet, but it\u2019s already become the fastest-selling console of all-time<\/a> in the US and Japan<\/a>, which means that Nintendo<\/a> is going to have to put in a lot of effort to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They\u2019ve got it in them to do that but hopefully that won\u2019t prove to be the Switch 2\u2019s destiny.<\/p>\n

The long-term future for its games line-up remains largely a mystery at the moment and now that Donkey Kong Bananza<\/a> is out it\u2019s going to be October before Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/a> becomes the next major first party release, and even that\u2019s only a cross-gen title. In the meantime, Nintendo<\/a> is going to be relying on smaller titles like Drag X Drive and more Switch 2 Edition games.<\/p>\n

Nintendo Switch 2 Edition titles have taken the role of Wii U<\/a> ports on the Switch 1, which is to say they\u2019re ready-made filler content that\u2019s nevertheless perfectly welcome if you\u2019ve never played them before. Super Mario Party Jamboree is an excellent game and you can read our review of the original Switch 1 version here<\/a>. Literally nothing has changed about it on the Switch 2, so the question here is whether the new content adds anything of value.<\/p>\n

In their simplest forms, Switch 2 Editions are essentially remasters. Zelda: Breath Of The Wild<\/a> and Tears Of The Kingdom<\/a> added no extra content, beyond a shared mobile app, but upped the resolution and frame rate to create the definitive version of the games.<\/p>\n

If you own the originals you can upgrade to the Switch 2 Editions for a surprisingly reasonable \u00a38. But if you want to upgrade your Switch 1 copy of Super Mario<\/a> Party Jamboree it\u2019ll cost you \u00a317. That\u2019s because Mario Party (and the upcoming Kirby And The Forgotten Land<\/a>) includes substantial new content, that also isn\u2019t available via Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.<\/p>\n

The new content is called Jamboree TV and also includes improved visuals. Mario Party is not a game that relies on complex graphics but somewhat shamefully these improvements are not carried through to the existing content. Sort of\u2026 it\u2019s all very complicated, with some bits left out but not others, to the point where it surely would\u2019ve been less trouble to just up the frame rate and resolution on everything, all at the same time.<\/p>\n
