Nintendo has officially announced the next milestone entry in its iconic party game franchise: Super Mario Party Jamboree.

Unveiled during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Super Mario Party Jamboree is set to launch exclusively on the Nintendo Switch on October 17, 2024.

This new title continues the rich legacy of the Mario Party series, known for delivering fast-paced, multiplayer fun to generations of fans. Described during the Nintendo Direct as "the biggest Mario Party in series history," Super Mario Party Jamboree raises the bar with a staggering amount of content.

Players can look forward to exploring five completely new game boards along with two classic boards returning from the original Mario Party and Mario Party 2, bringing the total to seven distinct boards to play on.

This substantial variety ensures that newcomers and long-time fans alike will have plenty of strategies to master and surprises to discover. In addition to the new boards, Super Mario Party Jamboree will feature an expansive lineup of more than 110 minigames, making it the most content-rich installment yet.

These minigames will challenge players' reflexes, strategy, and party game prowess in creative new ways, continuing the series’ tradition of accessible, laughter-filled competition. A standout addition to Jamboree is the introduction of 'Koopathlon,' an innovative online mode enabling up to 20 players to face off in an elimination-style tournament.

In this high-energy format, competitors will participate in a rotating series of events, vying to outlast their opponents and claim victory.

This marks one of the largest online multiplayer experiences ever offered in a Mario Party title, aligning with Nintendo’s ongoing efforts to expand online play options via the Nintendo Switch’s robust connectivity features. The Mario Party franchise has been a perennial favorite since its debut on the Nintendo 64 in 1998.

Over the years, it has celebrated consistent popularity, with previous titles like Super Mario Party (2018) achieving over 19 million units sold worldwide, according to official Nintendo sales data.
