Super Mario Party Jamboree Passes Incredible Sales Milestone

Super Mario Party Jamboree Reigns Supreme in Japan's Nintendo Sales Charts

Super Mario Party Jamboree achieved remarkable success, securing the top spot on Japan's Nintendo sales charts for the week of December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025. This follows its already impressive critical and commercial reception both domestically and internationally since its October 2024 launch.

The family-friendly multiplayer title surpassed numerous high-profile releases to claim the number one position. Jamboree's innovative features, including new game boards, modes, and playable characters, alongside refined classic gameplay mechanics, have resonated with both seasoned and new fans. Its extensive roster of iconic characters and the inclusion of multiplayer modes supporting up to 20 players have garnered significant praise. This Japanese triumph follows its earlier success in the US, where it topped the sales charts in October 2024.

According to Famitsu, Super Mario Party Jamboree sold 117,307 units during the specified week, bringing its total Japanese sales to an impressive 1,071,568 units. This impressive performance outshone major releases such as Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and even eclipsed the weekly sales of Nintendo Switch stalwarts like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

While Jamboree's overall Japanese sales lag behind some established titles, its weekly sales were three times higher than Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake's and seven times that of Minecraft. The game's continued success will be closely watched, particularly in light of the anticipated announcement of the Switch's successor.

The enduring appeal of the Mario Party franchise is evident, with classic titles finding renewed popularity through Nintendo Switch Online releases. Super Mario Party Jamboree's consistent sales suggest a bright future for this latest iteration, and fans eagerly await future updates and milestones.
