Super Mario Party Jamboree has decent enough Switch 2 additions, but I'm truly baffled by its presentation


Jamboree TV brings interesting new ideas, but its lack of integration into the core product is strange indeed.

Watch on YouTube Where the original Jamboree felt like a carefully-crafted thing with each of the game options and modes integrated into a hub world of sorts, the Switch 2 edition’s new content is more siloed. I plainly don’t come to these games for high art - I come for the chaos that makes kids howl with laughter or can inspire absolute, glorious, screeching drunken fury with adult friends. Hopping into that menu and seeing the options, then realizing the upgraded visual quality, polish, and overall presentation varies dramatically depending on which bit of the package you’re playing just leaves me reeling.
