'Super Mario Party Jamboree' Rolls Onto Switch This October

I'm really hoping that a single Joy Con isn't required, because that would taint a game that I'm otherwise very interested in.

This actually looks really good. The boards look super creative and there's more than five of them, the minigame count is nuts, and they brought back Coinathlon from Star Rush! It's nice to see this series back on the rise.

Boo is playable, not sure about the rest though

Never actually got around to playing Super Mario Party but loved Superstars. This one looks like a good balance of them while also addressing the biggest issue those games had, the dearth of content. Will definitely pick this up.

@HotGoomba Agreed, hope it supports Pro Controller. Looking forward to this.

Looks interesting.
Maybe I will get the game next year.
I still have to build my PS5 games library with more 3rd party kids games.
Too many choices, so hard to decide one.

Might pick this up. I only own Mario Party Superstars and it’s a good game I but don’t see the need for more than one

In retrospect, Mario Party Superstars turned out to be kind of a ripoff! It was a full priced game and they never added anything to it. I really expected DLC for it.As it is, the selection of boards is paltry.

A nice surprise, and I'm glad to see motion controls make a return as they were a high point in Super Mario Party (as was HD rumble), but these games really should be supporting more than 4 players in couch multiplayer (and/or a team option?). What kind of party only has four participants?

The production values also blows Super Mario Party out of the water, which is great to see.

That pic of the cast lets us see it won't be "Mario Party Ultimate" with the cast... Blooper, Hammer Bro., Kamek (I assume a host/boss this time), Pom Pom, Diddy Kong are all missing. Koopa Kid/Mini Bowser seems legit retired, so fair enough, but the rest are waiting.

My kid predicted this last night, I think jokingly, as we then both mocked the lack of boards and new dlc for the previous 2 Mario Party games, but here we are.

I feel like after just having so many Mario party games of late they maybe just should have leaned into the mini game collection aspect and online multiplayer, just called it simply “Mario Jamboree”. But that’s just me.

oh WOW!!! Definitely a Day 1 order for me. I LOVE Mario Party and I am beyond excited for this one

Glad we are getting more than 5 boards this time around. 7 still seems a bit limiting. Really wish they would either give us 10+ boards at launch or at least make additional boards available as dlc. Don’t know why this series is so against dlc it’s actually the kind of game that works great for future dlc content expansions

It looks like they've learnt from the last 2 games with their lack of (or just poor) boards and this looks to have the best selection, plus quite a few other modes, I'm looking forward to this

Looks great and a return to form, but could use some GameCube boards as well ...and that name is so awful it's hilarious.

Monty Mole is playable again. I won.

I just hope it isn't playable with JUST a joycon. That would kill it for myself, and my partner.

I really think (as with ALL Mario Party's) there will be hidden boards and characters too

Koopathlon mode looks fantastically chaotic!

This is pretty cool and the motion control minigames for super were honestly pretty fun.
And the fact they seem to have kept the rhythm minigames are pretty cool.

Very happy to see a new Mario Party. I'll pick it up this holiday.

That’s definitely a name choice, but the games actually looks really good. Excited to see what’s in store!

To be honest, I really like that they are basically doing the Mario Kart treatment here by having new and retro boards.
Still hope we get 8 boards, it would be quite close to the og Mario Party numbers.
I'm hoping this game is basically the culmination of all the Mario Party games on Switch and has like the full online experience, new and retro boards and mini games and some new experimental stuff. We'll see.

I feel like the title could be changed to differentiate it from Super, but DANG! 110 minigames?! 7 boards? All those characters?

Buying it day one

Mario Party is definitely my favorite multiplayer series from Nintendo and this new entry looks AMAZING!! Finally more than 4-5 maps like we were stuck with on Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars. Hoping the minigames are as good as the ones from Superstars!

jamboree is the BEST title for any game ever

Love the title if anything else

Looks like Super Mario Party and Mario Party Superstars smooshed together and I'm all here for it!

@HotGoomba I've checked the website and you can still play the game with a Pro Controller.
My guess is the mini-games which use motion/gyro will just be avoided when you're not using a Joy-con?

@epicgamner METROID PRIME 4: Jamboree! lol

I'm kind of flabbergasted by how good this looks. 7 boards? 110+ minigames? Ninji? Coinathlon's back?
It's funny that it's billed as a followup to Super when it's the DNA of Superstars that is really apparent here. Glad it's not just a smaller throwaway entry.

@MarioFan41 dude yes let’s just make jamboree a subtitle for all new games now along with “new funky mode” and “& knuckles”

Now THIS is mario party

I enjoyed the last Mario Party game that game out so I’ll look forward to this one.

Okay, this looks like they took what worked in Super Mario Party and improved upon it greatly. Though my biggest question is whether or not they heard people's complaints about not being able to play the first one in handheld mode and decided to fix that by either making the joycon minigames optional or giving them handheld versions, you know, like how the microphone minigames in the Gamecube titles were optional. (I had to turn them off because my mom kept thinking I was yelling at the screen in frustration)

Holy moly 20 players might take a while to play a full game lol

I was not happy to see another Mario Party game, however this looks unique and pretty darn good so I might actually get it.

looks really good, definitely a pre-order or a day one purchase

Looking at the trailer. at 0:07 they show 20 characters (possibly the intro) with Ninji being 21 characters... wonder if there will be other unlock-able characters? Pauline? but 21 is a huge cast!

excited to see what other modes they have in store.
Kinda worried that it may be single joy-con... but hopefully they have a way to play any controllers. excited to play this game!
** just found out that any controllers will work. Motion control games only work with joycons, and they wont work online? I guess no motion control online games.

@epicgamner : My proudest (and perhaps silliest) pun for a Smash Ultimate spirits team was "Djinn Djamboree", which featured Hoopa and other djinn/genie characters.

Who cares about more modes?! Just give us more game boards and mini games please!

@SillyG thats powerful af we love to see the puns

Looks great but I hope that 'Koopathon' mode is not online only I want to play it locally with friends and AI.

@TtimeXP There might be some more, initial Superstars trailers didn't show off Daisy.

@SleeplessKnight The trailer says that this game has 7 boards, which is the most since 9, and over 110 minigames so it's not like it's lacking in those departments.

@Toads-Friend I hope so. Superstars did not had a hidden board or hidden characters unfortunately.

Just thought about it now. For the 20 player mode, will people be able to choose the same character? Makes me wonder how many characters will be in this game to choose from.

@Peteykins Doesn't seem fair to call a game a ripoff when you placed expectations on it that it never promised.

@Lizuka Very nice then!

Biggest Mario Party ever?
Well just how big is big? It looks interesting because maybe the developers have finally nailed the formula and are now testing new waters with experimentation. I wonder how big it will be.

I haven't been serious about Mario Party since I played it with my friends back in the N64 and GameCube era. I really wanted to play Super Mario Party, but didn't get around to it due to so many other games. I may just make a special push for this one, as long as I can play the entire board game, and not just a Koopathlon, with online competitors.

@IceEarthGuard So far we know of at least 21. And it's entirely possible they might show off more later given Pauline's a glaring absence and they didn't show Daisy in the initial Superstars trailer.

@epicgamner I'm gonna make a forum topic about it. Also, Super Duper Mario Bros. Wonder 2: Jamboree With New Funky Mode Featuring Dante From The Devil May Cry Series And Knuckles And Metal Sonic As Well As Tails And Shadow

@MarioFan41 youre doing gods work here

So HYPED! This game looks awesome. 2nd most hyped game for me right now (before M&L Brothership)

@Darthmoogle How is 7 limiting? You're getting 5 new and 2 retro boards. Most MP's are usually 6-7. You people are never pleased with anything.

@Toads-Friend Highly doubtful. What you see, is what you get. The boards are big too.

@jowy_sw Most MP's had 6-7 boards. Only MP1 had 8. The boards are good sized as it is.

@IceEarthGuard Don't think so. I didn't see any duplicate characters. If they did that, there would be confusion, unless there's alternate costumes or reskins.

@Nintoz That or you can still play these minigames. Or those are like the rythym minigames from SMP.

MK8DX has spoiled me. I would kinda expect 20 boards at this point in the series.

I'm so happy with this! A better selection of boards, the awesome coin mode from the 3DS is back, a lot of fun characters and it looks POLISHED!!

Fingers crossed for great minigames and we could have a real winner!!

Does anyone know if the partner party mode will be back?

If only my Joycon still worked. My 6th pair I gave up on, drift on the left and the right R button is dodgy on the right. If this works with pro controllers, I might get this

I really don’t know why they can’t include more boards than 7 but this looks like a grand old time anyway. I’m loving what I’ve seen at this. Hopefully it offers pro controller support tho, I’m not touching those joy cons for this.

@TYRANACLES I'm OK with seven boards if there is additional modes that help fill out the game. I know most people aren't fans of Mario Party 10 (I kind of liked it), and it only had five boards. But the Bowser Party mode really changed how the game worked. And then there was the Amiibo mode that, while it just had unimaginative square boards, it was also designed so skill actually mattered. So back to the upcoming game, hopefully it is seven boards plus... Something.

@asmi8803
@TYRANACLES
yes its confirmed that the motion control minigames only work with joycons.
Other controllers are able to be connected.

At first when they reviled this in the direct, I was thinking wait this is dlc right cause of the supper mario party name being slapped on to it and then I realized that it's a new entry once they said it's the 14th mainline installment in the franchise, so I'm kinda dumb lol 😆......

Jamboree for Switcheroo

@TheFox yeah I had good fun with 10, I did think we needed more boards there as well, I dunno…10 would’ve been a good count but still it was well worth the buy for what it had.

UPDATE: On the official page of the game, they state that Joy-Cons will be required for "MOTION CONTROLLED GAMES". However, all other minigames will be supported by other controllers. So it seems like the game will function like Mario Party on the GameCube where just microphone games would be disabled if that controller wasn't being used. Seems like a good compromise. I am just glad that they will support the Pro Controller. My last fear is that we can only play the 20 player mode with the Joy-Con. At least local co-op will support Pro Controller.

Love the Mario Party games. I never understood why they never provided DLC. Is a perfect type of game for DLC.
