Super Mario Party Jamboree to Receive July 2025 Update

Wow, okay, so where do I even begin with this new update for “Super Mario Party Jamboree”? I mean, they just rolled out version 2.1.0, which is apparently a big deal, especially if you’ve got the Switch 2. So, yeah, if you’re one of those lucky folks who snagged the new console, congrats! You can now play with your buddies without weird glitches ruining your party.

And there were definitely glitches. Like, the kind where you’re just staring at a screen because, oops, can’t move forward in the game. Major bummer, right? But Nintendo to the rescue! They’ve squashed several bugs, like that shocking moment where everything just… stops during Broozer Bash if you linger too long. Oh, and random camera freakouts got the boot too.

Anyway, quick detour—this game originally showed up back in 2024. Announced like it was a surprise party, then boomed its way into our hearts. Maps galore, new modes, and just… you know, Mario. What’s not to love? And it keeps getting better with these updates, despite the hiccups.

Skipping ahead—before I forget—the average critic score? It’s 81 on OpenCritic. Feels like an oddly specific number, but hey, it’s a solid Mario game. One of the best, they say.

Oh! Almost forgot. The Switch 1 folks aren’t left out in the cold. They’ve patched things up there too. Some issues after hitting “Play Again”? Gone. CPU acting up in Mario’s Rainbow Castle? Say goodbye to that headache.

Oh, and this update is like a warm-up act. The real star comes July 24, 2025, with the Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV. Something about exclusive features. Maybe fireworks? Who knows.

Hopes are high, probably higher than Luigi on a hot air balloon ride. The first version was a hit, over 6 million sold, like, boom! Fifth in the whole Mario Party gang, which is a big deal. So fingers crossed, the sequel keeps up the pace.

Anyway—or was it previously?—I’m just rambling now. But there’s just so much happening with these digital parties. If that counts as an excuse.

Oh, and techy deets—a bunch of bug fixes for both Switches. Like, camera positions got sorted (because that’s critical), and the CPUs are now like polished pro dancers in those minigames. Keeps everything slick, right? So, expect a smoother ride… or shuffle, or jump—whatever your thing is in this kaleidoscope of chaos.

I could keep going, but you’ve probably got a party to attend, virtual or otherwise. Cheers to bug-free partying!
