Super Mario Party Jamboree Passes Incredible Sales Milestone

Super Mario Party Jamboree Reigns Supreme in Japanese Sales Charts

Super Mario Party Jamboree secured the top spot as the best-selling Nintendo title in Japan for the week of December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025, continuing its impressive critical and commercial success both domestically and internationally.

Since its October 2024 launch, this family-friendly multiplayer game has consistently performed well, surpassing numerous major releases to claim the number one position in Japanese Nintendo game sales. Jamboree's innovative approach, featuring new game boards, modes, and characters alongside classic gameplay enhancements, has resonated with both longtime fans and newcomers. The game's expansive roster of iconic characters and the inclusion of new multiplayer modes supporting up to 20 players have garnered significant praise. This follows its earlier success in the US, where it topped the sales charts in October 2024.

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