Super Mario Party Jamboree isn't out on Switch until next week, but it seems the party may have started early...
According to multiple reports, some people have got their hands on early copies and the game ROM has apparently been shared online. While it is only Mario Party, this does mean there could potentially be content leaks in the coming days.
So if you do want a surprise party on release, you might want to avoid the internet and social media until October 17th.
Unfortunately, this isn't the first time something like this has happened with a major first-party Switch release. It's been going on the entire generation and sometimes it does risk spoiling more anticipated and plot-heavy releases.
If we hear any updates or developments, we'll let you know.

everyone watch out for spoilers of a multiplayer party game with no plotline
Well this is the age we live in. Can’t trust anyone.
@LadyCharlie thanks for the warning, I'll be careful.
In all seriousness, some people want to start the game without knowing much at all, so this is a good warning to avoid any spoilers.
There's also a kind-of single player campaign, who knows how it ends? Might not be too exciting for some people (it could be though!) but not necessarily something people want to know before playing.
Because of course it has.
Sure whatever. I have such a huge back catalogue I won’t play it til probably 6 months after release anyway.
I don't get why this game isn't immune, given that the main draw is literally playing with other people. There's not much to leak without friends..
I don’t mind for spoilers in a Mario Party game; I guess the single player campaign I wouldn’t wanna get spoiled on, plus the bosses
Everything else I’m okay with knowing lol
@VoidofLight People just want to play the game early and be scum of the earth.
yall it’s absolutely crazy this game launches in a WEEK. time flies, feel like yesterday i was watchinh the last direct…
Well of course it would leak... I predict that Mario & Luigi: Brothership will also leak early before the release date.
Please don't rip my head off...
Don't mind seeing info for Mario Party games all come out early considering how questionable a lot of the mechanics and other design choices have been in recent entries. Probably not getting this one regardless though, I know I'd end up playing it like once then never getting around to it again.
Oh, for goodness sake.
How does this even happen?
And people wonder why Sakurai said we're never getting another Subspace Emissary story mode for Super Smash Bros. This is exactly why.
Spoiler alert* You can play as Mario in Mario Party. Thats amazing. Didnt know that.
Just dont search for videos and you will be fine.
These leakers have waayyyy to much time for stuff like this.
It's kinda alarming to me that some people in this comment section defend the leaking culturue.. Perhaps it's best for everyone if the entire internet takes a week or three off.
Certaintly wouldn't bother me at all and it would do the world some good.
Unsurprising and as usual I'm more concerned about spoilers (and yes, there can be spoilers even for such a game between the single-player campaign, all the unlockables etc.) showing up in difficult to avoid places like YouTube thumbnails and so on than the leak itself - fingers crossed nobody accidentally encounters them!
Not bothered about spoilers personally and I am happy to wait to experience the game myself. Not overly curious tbf. However, I do respect ppl don't want spoilers and that. So not cool.
It'd be wrong to see this as normal, but I've long gotten used to expecting it and just be more careful on places like YouTube.
At least Mario Party Jamboree doesn't have an actual story mode, unfortunately. It's when Mario & Luigi: Brothership leaks when we'll have to be extra careful.
Kinda surprised but then again, not really. Personally I’m in the middle with avoiding spoilers for a game like this. I’ve seen more previews and videos online than I usually do for a new Nintendo release as there isn’t much of a story, but I’ll probably go dark now, as I don’t want a lot of the surprise elements in the boards, late game unlocks, or the bosses in (I assume) Party Planner Trek to be spoiled for me.
Leaking is inevitable. There are millions of hacked Switches capable of dumping a games data, millions of physical copies being sent to retailers in advance, and a financial incentive to have a popular game on a pirate site to get ad revenue. It can't be stopped this generation by Nintendo. Maybe the Switch 2 will be very security focused.
I just ginished pre downloading the game and its just staring at me 😭 Gotta Finish Zelda so I can play both Neva and This on Thursday
But how will people play it without any emulators?
And then they complain that Nintendo attacks emulators and YouTube channels..... Sigh...
remember that Nintendo cruelly applies the phrase:
"The Just Pay for the Sinners"
And people here actually act like Nintendo are the unreasonable ones lol.
@Coversnail it came from a nintendo admin's account this time.
@LadyCharlie theres a lot more leaked that, stuff from pokemon ZA and various older games got leaked as well as the code names for bank, transporter, home and every main series pokemon since XY including 1 that was never publicly announced and something that seems unlikely to be main series.
hell, even the gen 3 map maker got leaked.
What on earth is going on at Nintendo? Echoes of Wisdom leaked before release, this has and I'm hearing Mario & Luigi has now leaked 3 weeks early. They need to tighten things up.
@Coversnail no wonder why the Switch 2 reveal is taking so long. You may be right.
Since last Friday
@Maubari Leaking from DAY ONE has always been popular for social media.
@dcon_dot_exe Modded switches?
@Ruler-Of-All-Evil No, the ones who make videos on it are scum. Many people who pirate it play it for themself
@UsernameMayne My brother in Christ, that’s exactly what makes people playing a game early before its release scum.
Why do you all keep reporting game leaks? I think it's very unnecessary.
@Ruler-Of-All-Evil How? If you play a game early, yourself not for anything else, the scum part is not paying and I agree, but of itself, just playing a game early doesn't make you scum
