Super Mario Party Jamboree reveals details via a new overview trailer
You might be thinking that with Nintendo Switch 2 launching this week, there is no way Nintendo would be talking about anything until that is on sale, but nope. Nintendo have released a game overview trailer for Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, what a name. Check it out below.
The same game that released last year for Nintendo Switch is included here, but now there is more ways to play. I did get a chance to play a little bit of it at the Nintendo Switch 2 preview event I went to, and it was good.
Nintendo did include a list of the new additions that are featured with the name version of the game, which you can see below:
Mario Party Mode: It’s time to make your on-camera debut with CameraPlay. You and up to three friends can appear in the game using a compatible camera such as the Nintendo Switch 2 Camera. This new feature allows you to see your friends in the game while playing Mario Party and watch the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat play across their faces in real time*1. Plus, this mode now features two new rulesets to amp up the fun:
Tag-Team Rules: Pick a partner! With Mario Party Tag-Team Rules, players work in teams of two to collect coins and Stars. Roll the special Together Dice that is only available in this game mode, and your teammate warps to your location – doubling your dice roll and potentially doubling the number of Stars you can collect.
Frenzy Rules: Looking to ramp things up? With Frenzy Rules you’ll start out with 50 coins, a Double Dice and a Star. See who can collect the most Stars in just five turns! You can even challenge players to a duel right from the start. This fast and furious option is also great for those who don’t have time to play a full 10-30 turns.
Bowser Live: Are you ready for your moment in the spotlight? With Bowser Live, players can use a compatible camera such as the Nintendo Switch 2 camera to appear on stage in the game and compete in a series of minigames and challenges*2. Be warned, though, because Bowser himself is hosting the show, and he doesn’t let players off easy. If you’re playing without a Nintendo Switch 2 camera, you’ll still have the chance to play minigames that utilise the system’s built-in microphone. Will you get applause or punishment from the King of the Koopas?
Carnival Coaster: This exhilarating new mode introduces five thrill rides to test your skills and teamwork! Thanks to HD rumble 2, you’ll feel the bumps and rumbles of the coaster. Using the mouse controls, you’ll pick off enemies as they appear and compete in new minigames. Hop aboard five different coasters, each with their own levels of difficulty, including Carnival Coaster, Volcano Coaster, Haunted Coaster, Sky-High Coaster and Trial Coaster.
The game will release on July 24 and can be bought as a full release, but if you already own the Nintendo Switch game, you can buy the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack, which will give you all the new content.
