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, securing the top spot on the Nintendo sales charts for the week of December 30, 2024, to January 5, 2025. This follows its strong critical and commercial reception both domestically and internationally since its October 2024 launch.

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

According to Famitsu, the leading Japanese gaming news outlet, 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 performance eclipsed major titles such as Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and even outperformed some of the best-selling Nintendo Switch games of all time, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The game's continued success and the potential impact of a future Nintendo Switch successor remain to be seen.

The enduring appeal of the Mario Party franchise is evident, with classic titles finding renewed popularity through Nintendo Switch Online and the continued success of the latest installment. Super Mario Party Jamboree's strong sales suggest further milestones are likely in the future.
