Super Mario Party Jamboree Passes Incredible Sales Milestone

Super Mario Party Jamboree Reigns Supreme in Japan's Nintendo Sales Charts

Super Mario Party Jamboree secured the top spot as the best-selling Nintendo title in Japan for the week ending January 5th, 2025, according to Famitsu. This follows its already impressive critical and commercial success both domestically and internationally since its October 2024 launch.

The game's popularity propelled it past numerous high-profile releases to claim the number one position. Jamboree's innovative approach, featuring new game boards, modes, and characters alongside classic gameplay refinements, has resonated with both longtime fans and newcomers. Its expansive roster and inclusion of up to 20-player multiplayer modes have garnered significant praise. This Japanese success follows its earlier triumph in the US sales charts in October 2024.

With 117,307 units sold during the week of December 30th, 2024, to January 5th, 2025, Jamboree's total Japanese sales surpassed one million units, reaching 1,071,568. This impressive performance outshone major competitors like Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, even eclipsing weekly sales figures for established Nintendo Switch giants such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Although Jamboree's overall Japanese sales still trail behind some long-standing titles, its weekly sales were three times higher than Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake's and seven times greater than Minecraft's. The continued success of Super Mario Party Jamboree highlights the enduring appeal of the Mario Party franchise, further evidenced by the popularity of classic titles ported to Nintendo Switch Online. The game's future performance, particularly in light of potential upcoming Nintendo Switch hardware announcements, will be closely watched.
