Super Mario Party Jamboree Updated For Switch 2 And Switch (Version 2.2.0)

"If you are playing the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, when selecting “Super Mario Party Jamboree” from the title screen, video output will be Full HD (1080p)."
...So you're saying this is an actual Switch 2 Edition now?

@PikaPhantom Or is just the title screen Full HD (1080p)?

A weird way for them to word the statement.

@PikaPhantom Sorta? I mean, you still can't play with the new minigames if you want to earn points toward unlocking stuff, etc. At least I assume that's what it means.

I still think it's kind of odd that the Jamboree TV stuff is an entirely seperate thing from the main game.

I’m confused. Didn’t the original game run at 1080p? What is this changing

It's really scummy to paywall an almost negligible performance boost to the Switch 2 version of the game, especially considering that the main portion of the game doesn't even come with any new content.

Fair cop if there are new higher quality assets to match (a la BOTW/TOTK), but I doubt that this is what's happening here.

@SplatRay001 : It's likely running natively at 1080p on Switch 2 now while it must have previously ran at a slightly lower (and/or adaptive) resolution.

@SplatRay001 It only ran at 720p undocked on Switch 2 if you ran the base Mario Party Jamboree from the title screen on Switch 2 presumably is just be referring to when it's undocked with the 1080p upgrade? It doesn't sound like they updated it Docked, though I think I heard having it higher than 1080p might cause compatibility issues with the online against Switch 1 players

I agree, this is worded weirdly. It almost sounded like they were adjusting the thing everyone has been upset about since the S2 Edition was released. Almost.

@LinktotheFuture
Why would you assume just the title screen is 1080p

@Suketoudara that idea is weird to me, considering that Splatoon 3 has higher resolutions on switch 2 but still has full parity with switch 1

@SplatRay001 Actually was a story on here about how they had to remove and adjust various assets in the Switch 1 version of Splatoon 3 to create parity. It could've been that there's so many mini games it would be too difficulty to not cause issues.

I do think it might be related to that as none of the other Switch 2 editions are like this and in theory would be pretty simple to just upgrade the resolution and it actually already is if you run the base mini games from the Jamboree TV section.

For anyone that doesn’t know, super Mario party jamboree tv was supposed to be 1440p docked and 1080p undocked when it was announced. It’s still on Nintendo’s official website. I guess they mean portable mode for this patch. Although oddly enough, me and lots of other people seemingly can’t see the 2k resolution at all in this game since the option seems to be greyed out for some reason anyway.

@Suketoudara How would a resolution increase on Switch 2 cause compatibility issues with Switch 1 players online? This makes zero sense

Did Jamboree not run at 1080p on Switch 1 already? Or are they talking about handheld mode?
This is so vague for no reason, would it kill them to explain this properly?

@Willo567 I didn't, just the wording is confusing.

Ooooh; found it; now Switch 2 will literally output a 1080p signal/container; leaving the tv to do the upscaling, where it used to output the same 1080 in a 2160p container.

Most likely for compatibility reasons with the Switch 1 version.

@Riku3456 Yeah, i also saw that the website said it's supposed to be 1440p on Switch 2 when docked. What gives, Nintendo? Was this webpage written by the same guy who wrote the page claiming that VRR was supported when docked?!

@topsekret @Riku3456 on that website there is an asterisk that says it's for Jamboree TV only, it's stupid but it is as advertised

@Riku3456 Option is grayed out here as well for 1440p and I still haven't figured out why. TV supports it. I can see that in Welcome Tour as well

@Sylamp Welp, there it is. I skimmed over that and assumed it was just specifying that it required a TV that supports that resolution.

I guess maybe 1080p docked is still an improvement over Switch 1? Maybe that was 720p...

Finally, the switch 2 version is actually improved

@topsekret @Riku3456 You guys are mixing up the rendering resolution and output resolution.
On Switch 2, from the title screen, vanilla Jamboree always rendered at 1080p, but it used to output in a 2160p signal/container. Now it's straight up 1080p output.
If you select JAMBOREE TV, however - you get a 1440p render in a 2160p output, including the normal Jamboree games that can be played within it. It is complicated, yes. All because Nintendo wanted to maintain full version parity between vanilla Jamboree for Switch 1 and 2.
@Aventurier Yes, that is common to most tvs; it means while it may be available if forced, 1440p modes (60/120) are not exposed in the tv EDID.
However, games can still force it "in-game", if available at all. Mostly used to do 60 fps games in a 120 container in order to reduce latency atm; Street Fighter, Mona..; those games are not rendering at 120; it's just for latency.

@Wewewi I can't chose 1440p in system settings. PS5 has no problem with it

@Suketoudara if true that’s pretty understandable, although I would argue if you’re charging for an upgrade it isn’t out of the realm of possibility to modify assets to ensure switch 1 parity and higher resolutions

@Aventurier But it wasn't supported out of the box; it was added only 2 years ago in version 6.0.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/x802cn/ps5_system_software_60_released_with_1440p/
And it's not like Switch 2 doesn't support it, it simply has to be exposed in the EDID. You can put a 10$ EDID emulator dongle in between and it will work.

I'm so confused....what do you mean it wasnt running at 1080p?

@Wewewi ok but I don’t see how a lot of people like me were supporting know that. The wording from all of this officially is very confusing and it’s not just me. Whatever the case, it’s still weird that the regular jamboree did not get an update to 1440p. I get the parity thing but it still should be increased across the board compared to the original switch version. Oh well, Whatever. Jamboree isn’t my favorite Mario party anyway so I won’t complain beyond this.

Nintendo and their vague statements on certain things is so exhausting and ridiculous

@Wewewi Weird that it is visible in the settings but can't be used. Kinda wanted to try to get Bananza to run better by lowering the resolution

Can someone help me understand something?
I bought the 2 vouchers yesterday, to buy this game.

Does that mean I will get the non Switch 2 version?
If i do not get the 1080P, will I get it if I download the upgrade pack?

@Aventurier That trick only works in a handful of games. Bananza is not among them.

@ProfesorPoncho Vouchers can only buy Switch 1 games. You will have to buy the Jamboree TV Upgrade Pack.

This game should never have been launched on the Switch 1 since S1 had 2 Mario Party games already.
It should have been launched on the Switch 2 with S2 graphics. Having the non-TV version lower res on the Switch 2 isn't normal for us who paid for the upgrade.

That first changelog point is really confusing and I don't understand it. Did they miss adding the word Switch 1 in there?

@Wewewi Had a boss fight today that looked like 14fps or something.

Still love the game but dayumn

@Aventurier Finished DK 2 days ago.
The game runs out of ideas after the speaker layer. Last third was only abstract nonsensical worlds; resolutely below average, while Mario Odyssey only gets better and better.
It's a solid 8, but nowhere near a 10.
