You can purchase Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV for $79.99 at various retailers such as Walmart, Target, and GameStop.

Yep, It Costs $79.99
Nintendo has adopted a sliding-scale pricing model for Switch 2 games. While most original Switch games were priced at $59.99, with exceptions like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at $69.99, the Switch 2 games are setting a new standard with a ceiling of $79.99. This pricing is consistent with other Switch 2 titles such as Mario Kart World, whereas other games might be priced at $69.99 or lower.
Upgrade Pack Is Also Available Separately
This new edition includes the original Switch game along with the Switch 2 Edition upgrade pack. The upgrade pack enhances the base game with higher definition graphics and faster frame rates, and it also includes the Jamboree TV expansion content. If you already own the original game, you can purchase the upgrade pack separately from the Nintendo eShop or select retailers, offering a cost-effective way to enjoy the enhanced experience.
What Is Super Mario Party Jamboree Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV?
The highlight of this edition is the Switch 2-exclusive Jamboree TV expansion, which introduces new modes and minigames to the party. This expansion features minigames that utilize new input methods available only on the Switch 2, such as audio recognition, mouse controls, and enhanced rumble features. It also integrates the Nintendo Switch 2 camera accessory (sold separately and available at Target), enabling up to four players to participate using a single camera for interactive fun like balancing digital goombas on your head or hitting question blocks with your Joy-Con.
This expansion is one of the most significant updates for a Switch 2 version of an original Switch game, making it particularly attractive for those who enjoy hosting game nights and playing party games with friends and family.
Our Review of the Original Game
The original Super Mario Party Jamboree for the Switch received high praise, earning a 9/10 in our review:
"Super Mario Party Jamboree is an amazing follow-up to Mario Party Superstars and easily one of the best games in the series. Not only does it faithfully return to the classic formula established in the Nintendo 64 entries, it confidently improves upon it with a fantastic set of boards that introduce unique and memorable mechanics. It’s also the most flexible Mario Party has ever been, with tons of ways to customize your game, including its brilliant new optional Pro Rules that reduce luck-based elements to a minimum and crank up the strategy for those who want it. The wonderful maps are supported by a great lineup of new and returning minigames and character-specific challenges that steal the show, even if I wish there were just a few more minigames in the rotation. The side offerings may not have much staying power, but when partying with friends and family locally or online, Super Mario Party Jamboree boldly completes the series’ redemption arc as its newest superstar."
