Another of Nintendo’s big year-end releases lands with Super Mario Party Jamboree, plus Just Dance, Killing Time, and more.
Par-ty, Mario par-ty
A good deal of cool stuff lands this week for the Switch, and it’s a lineup that includes one of Nintendo’s big holiday titles. That of course, is Super Mario Party Jamboree, a game that brings 110 mini-games and a “series-first 20-player competition”. We know that particular series can be a little bit of an acquired taste though, and don’t worry, because there’s still plenty of other new stuff in this Download too.
Another somewhat niche title follows that with Just Dance 2025 Edition, plus Neva, which is from the same developer that brought you Gris. Want more options? Well, there are some new Contra and Castlevania bundles (of existing releases), Dungeons 4, Killing Time Resurrected, TMNT: Mutants Unleashed, and the usual ton of smaller launches.
Lots to pick from, so scroll down and check out the complete list.
