Super Mario Party Jamboree: New Mario Party Title Coming to Switch

During the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo unveiled Super Mario Party Jamboree, a new addition to the Mario Party series set to release on 17th October 2024.

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) has now classified the game, giving it an ‘E’ rating for everyone. The game contains “mild fantasy violence” with elements of “users interact” and “in-game purchases”.

“This is a collection of mini-games (party games) in which players compete to earn stars, coins, and rankings. As players engage in different modes (e.g., board game, rhythm games, puzzle-based games, flying games, mini-games), they encounter or participate in whimsical instances of fantasy violence: cartoony cannons/cannon turrets that shoot at giant characters; avoiding a robot with giant boxing gloves/fists; using over-sized hammers against each other; connecting electric circuits to zap a boss character. Damage is indicated by blinking, comical yelps, and/or dizzy star effects.”

The previous title, Mario Party Superstars (from 2021), also received an ‘E’ rating with mentions of “mild cartoon violence”, “users interact”, and “in-game purchases”. While it did receive a couple of updates to address local and online play issues, it never received any downloadable content.

For more details about this new Mario Party installment for the Switch, you can refer to the original announcement post on Nintendo Life. The game will feature seven boards and “over 110 minigames”.
