Super Mario Party Jamboree TV Is The Second ‘Switch 2 Edition’ To Break One Million Physical Sales
Nintendo's latest financial data, covering sales up to June 2026, shows that Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV has become only the second "Switch 2 Edition" title to sell more than one million physical copies. The milestone is notable because it counts physical sales alone, excluding digital downloads, and comes despite the release carrying a steep price tag of $79.99/£66.99. It reinforces the idea that physical media remains commercially strong on Nintendo systems, in contrast to rivals such as Sony moving away from discs.
The game has sold 1.15 million physical copies, joining Pokémon Legends Z-A (3.99 million) as the only other Switch 2 Edition to break the million mark, while Mario Kart World leads the wider six-game Switch 2 best-seller list with 15.38 million sales, a figure that includes digital purchases and hardware bundle codes. The original Switch version of Super Mario Party Jamboree, launched in October 2024, has separately sold an estimated 9.96 million copies as of March 2026. As the third Mario Party entry for Switch following titles in 2018 and 2021, the franchise's continued strong performance suggests a new instalment is likely within the next few years.
In short
- Mario Party Jamboree TV Switch 2 Edition tops 1 million physical sales
- Second Switch 2 Edition title to reach that milestone, after Pokémon Legends Z-A
- Original Switch version has sold nearly 10 million copies since 2024
Explained simply
Nintendo’s Switch 2 is the successor to the original Switch, and some games are sold as “Switch 2 Editions”: updated versions of titles first released for the older console. Super Mario Party Jamboree began as a party game for the original Switch in 2024, where players compete in board-game-style challenges and mini-games. Its Switch 2 Edition adds Jamboree TV, a collection of features designed for the newer console.
Nintendo’s sales figures distinguish physical copies from digital purchases and game codes included with consoles. That distinction matters because physical sales show how many boxed copies retailers have sold, while total sales include other ways of buying a game. The Mario Party series has appeared on several Nintendo consoles, and its continuing popularity makes future entries plausible, though Nintendo has not announced one in the information reported here.
