Super Mario Party Jamboree Passes Incredible Sales Milestone

Super Mario Party Jamboree Dominates Japanese Sales Charts

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

The family-friendly multiplayer game outperformed numerous major releases to secure 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 players. Its extensive character roster and support for up to 20 players in new multiplayer modes have garnered significant praise. This Japanese success follows its earlier triumph in the US sales charts in October 2024.

Famitsu, a leading Japanese gaming news source, reported Jamboree's impressive sales figures. With a total of 1,071,568 units sold in Japan by January 5th, 2025, and 117,307 units sold during the specified week alone, it significantly surpassed competitors like Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Its weekly sales even eclipsed those of several all-time best-selling Nintendo Switch titles, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
