During Nintendo’s latest Nintendo Direct, among the many, many cross-platform releases, it had a slew of first-party reveals, showing what’s to come for the Nintendo Switch. One such reveal was Super Mario Party Jamboree, the next Mario Party featuring a lot of content. This event was also almost glossed over as Nintendo, in the same post, confirmed that it would be revealing its Switch successor sometime during this fiscal year.
As is the case with most of recent soon-to-release games, slowly but surely, the pages are popping up, with Mario Party Jamboree being the latest to appear on the eShop. Apparently, the game itself, while full of over 110 minigames, the introduction of a 20-player game mode, and brand-new boards, the game will be pretty modest in comparison to some third-party games, consisting of only 6.5GB on your Nintendo Switch.
To be clear, this isn’t small in comparison to other Mario Party games on the console, both Superstars and Super Mario Party took up 2.9GB. So, this is much larger than previous entries, but considering the planned innovation of increasing the player number to 20, we can certainly see how this could happen. Now, though, the big question is how will it run? We guess we’ll have to wait until it launches later this year to find out.
Super Mario Party Jamboree launches on October 17, 2024 exclusively to the Switch.
