Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Party Jamboree TV?

$80 with $55 camera and $100 Joy Cons (probably need 2 pairs for whole experience) is way too expensive for me. I might’ve got the upgrade if it came with new boards or characters, but it’s pretty much only content for the gimmicks/accessories

Wow, divisive so far; only 7s and 10s, not a single 8 or 9. Guess many either love it or think it's okay.

Realise it might only be like 7 votes though haha, got tricked by the "29%" looking like more votes

ill get it eventually for sure, but right now mario kart world is great for a party game haha. im not gonna invest in the camera, but im sure ill love the visual upgrades and mouse minigames!

No score from me as I haven't bought the upgrade. Do wonder whether it will get a joycon bundle during the holidays though.

I gave it a low rating because it is not worth 80 dollars.

Never played the game but 16% rating it abysmal must surely be trolls?

Just like the base game, I give it a solid 8/10. Not as good as Mario Party Superstars, but still a solid fun time.

@Johnny44 there's been a distinct increase in trolling on this site since the April reveal including from existing members who are anti anything SW2.

Make your point, fair enough but spamming every article with negative and unconstructive dribble everytime is getting tiring.

Its a shame as this site used to be a safe haven from the IGN comment boards.

This is fundamentally a bolt on to help sell the camera. And to be fair rather than a £50 game with little content, I applaud the direction Nintendo have taken to create a bolt.
But maybe a better bundle would have been the game + bolt on + camera all at a £79.99 (original game price £40+upgrade code £10 + camera £30)

I gave it an 8/10. Jamboree is a great game on Switch and it probably the best Mario Party in my opinion, and having this new content is wonderful. I think for the full experience, this is a tad expensive with the camera and other gear, but this is a very decent upgrade for the game.

I’ve only played it for a couple nights with friends, but its fun. Having the camera reactions during Mario Party is the sort of bonus element that really works well. The stamp system has been removed in its place, which some friends were bummed about (those who spam them) and some who liked the change (those who are annoyed by the spammers)

The Frenzy Mode seems a bit meh to me. On the one hand, I like it more than a 10 turn party, because the first few turns in a Mario Party can be filler, so to just jump straight to the last 5 turns is a good kick in the step. But some strategies don’t make sense anymore and you only get one lap around the board at best. I ended up dominating my game, so it felt a bit more hopeless and boring for others since I had such a strong start with not much time to change it around. But it was only one example and I’m still amped to play more.

My friends and I finished Carnival Coaster already. Its an hour and half of gameplay and I don’t think there’s much incentive of returning, but we liked it for what it was. We like putting the blame on eachother and finding different ways to co-operate. Some really good minigames were highlighted too that I thought were particularly fun, like Toad-ally Electric Escape, Stuffie Stacker and Net Gains. But I also found the grading to always be either a little too lenient or a little too strict.

Haven’t tried Bowser Live yet though.

Holy crap that title. Just say all those words out loud and ask how no one at NoA said "this isn't okay"

Mouse games are fun, 2v2 is excellent, and the camera really does add a lot to gameplay. Seeing people’s reactions is hilarious. (Bought a webcam off Amazon, $50 for the Nintendo one is absurd). That being said, carnival coaster is very similar to the raft mode in Super Mario Party (albeit with better games), and 2v2 and Frenzy feel like they should’ve just been in the game from the start, so I gave it a 7/10 overall.

I vote 1 only because ZERO isn't an option!

Mouse Mode sucks! I refuse to play any game that will force it's inclusion as mandatory, even if it were for only a second!

@Duncanballs Unfortunately that seems to come with the territory of being a mainstream Nintendo news site. I know I personally stopped visiting IGN a long, long time ago (back in 2015, if I remember correctly).

@The_Pixel_King The base game of “Super Mario Party Jamboree” is fantastic, and it comes highly recommended. The “Nintendo Switch 2 Edition” is a lie, because the base game is literally indifferent from the Switch 1 version, other than GameShare support that’s more limited than DS Download Play on Mario Party DS. The “Jamboree TV” expansion is fine, actually quite fun, but it’s completely siloed off from the base game, to the point of being a completely separate menu, and having no interface between it and the base game.

Whoa, that's a mixed result.
I was kinda interested, but heard about disappointment with that upgrade.

Big camera enthusiast over here— just for game chat and Mario kart it’s been great connecting with my friends so I’m looking forward to using it in Party! I got it but have yet to play. Still focused on DK and need to set up a proper game night w buds. I’m disappointed of how they separated the versions and wish they kept the unlocks and stats and such in Jamboree but despite that I’m stoked. I think the mouse games will be great fun. I’ve enjoyed the demos that use it in welcome tour so can imagine it’ll be a good time!

@Fiergala and there's more to come! Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World soon!

I bet NOA were over the moon back in the mid 2000s when Peter Jackson's King Kong: The Official Game of the Movie came to their platforms.

@Markatron84 Sega is plenty stupid in other ways, but I think if N were to release their Sonic x Shadows Generations Switch 2 port, they would call it something like, Sonic Generations - Switch 2 Edition + Shadow's Storyline. To re-iterate this is not okay.

@Fiergala just be thankful Nintendo actually put out a new Mario Kart game on Switch 2. We could have ended up with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Booster Course Pass Waves 7-12.

every single party games for me is just... average

8 for me. Would be 9 if the base game got a graphical update and 10 if the Jamboree TV content was better integrated into the main game. Very sloppy and unusual for Nintendo!

Raise your hand if you voted but haven’t played it lol

@Duncanballs yeah some people's comment history makes me believe they love being a troll. And many accounts like that did start earlier this year. Because they hate everything, saying that I'm not upgrading for the base jamboree because I havent played much but in no world is this a 1.
I dont like sonic games or scott pilgrim but a 1 is reserved for evil or just completely unplayable broken games.
I would assume that the reason nintendo life doesn't have reviews that low is that it isnt even worth it to ask a reviewer to play it as we all know it is trash.

@PikminMarioKirby May or may not change your perspective, but most standard USB cameras work just fine with the Switch 2. I'm sure most people have one in the house somewhere & if not, you can get good ones on Amazon for around half the price of the official one.

@AccessibleDaydream

Good call on ditching IGN. Since 2019 I’ve only gone back to the site to get a good eye roll every now and then.

@Shmoo I think the final nail in the coffin for me was when they started heavily pushing the whole "wiki guide" idea, and how some of the guides started to make zero sense after that.
