Super Mario Party Jamboree marked the series’ biggest launch with 6m shipped

Super Mario Party Jamboree enjoyed the biggest launch of any Mario Party title, Nintendo’s latest sales numbers have revealed.

In the nearly 11 weeks after it was released on October 17, 2024, Jamboree shipped 6.17 million units globally, which is faster than previous Switch entries Super Mario Party (5.3m in 12 weeks) and Mario Party Superstars (5.45m in 9 weeks) did in their holiday launch windows.

According to Nintendo, the game sold through (sold to consumers) 5.6 million units in the same time period, which is also ahead of its predecessors.

Jamboree is the third series entry to be released for Nintendo Switch, following 2018’s Super Mario Party and 2021’s Superstars. VGC’s Mario Party Jamboree review called it “one of the best in the series”.

“Depending on how long Nintendo continues to support the Switch after its successor is released, this could potentially be the last game in the series to release on the system.

“If this ends up being the case, it’s a fitting third and final Mario Party on Switch – following the Joy-Con heavy gameplay of Super Mario Party and the old-school focus of Mario Party Superstars, this hits that Goldilocks spot by delivering the best aspects from both.”

The Switch is now approaching eight years old, and Nintendo finally announced plans to release Nintendo Switch 2 last month, along with plans for worldwide hands-on events starting in April.
