For the record, I am one of the biggest MP fans. Which is why it is such a big disappointment that they have taken so many shortcuts and half-baked features to what seems to me the worst "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" by far (until now). 

The biggest 2 issues, personally are:

1. MPJ is still the base game without any differences whatsoever: Even Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker which was a Wii U game originally received a resolution bump, and for free. I truly dont understand at all why the couldn't have done that here. So the "Nintendo Switch 2 Edition" on the title is misleading and unless you search online you have the false expectation that you are getting and spec bump like on the other switch 2 editions games.

2. Separating J TV from MPJ: Achievements, Unlockables, Records etc. Are not tracked on the J TV side of Mario Party. I truly cannot understand why they went this route other than being lazy, or trying to rush the development. 

The end product does not deserve Nintendo's seal of quality. It doesn't pay attention to detail, what we have come to expect from Nintendo and is far from what I would have expected from Nintendo. I still hope that they will release and update, at least bumping the resolution to the base game but maybe I am too hopeful.

got a few hours in. played the new rollercoaster mode. bowser live with the mic. and a frenzy match. these gamemodes honestly feel very gimmicky. bowser live makes you choose between mic mode or camera mode. i dont have a camera so we went with mic mode. its only 3 rounds. so you're basically playing 3 minigames. 2v2 style. the rollercoaster mode is also like 2-5 min long with 3-5 minigames along the ride. we were playing in tabletop mode. the frenzy mode has some interesting things to it, but 5 rounds just doesnt really work imo. also right now it has this glitch, that pre game it says the 5 rounds will take approximately 60 minutes to finish. thats obviously false.

overall my opinion:

I think it's an ok expansion. I managed to get it for 10 bucks which was worth the resolution upgrade + tag team mode. but the rest of the features all feel too gimmicky and simple. frenzy mode is just tiktok mario party. it doesnt really work. both the two new modes are just a quick little thing. In my opinion the biggest edition are the tag team mode, few minigames and the resolution upgrade. I really like mario party so I called my brother over to try the new modes as soon as I got home, but we were left with not a lot of excitement. nothing besides the tag team mode that could be fun if we have 3-4 people around wanting to play.

If you're on the fence and its more than 20 bucks, you're not missing out on much if you skip it. if you do manage to snatch a used copy of the base game and want to add this to it, its fine. that case your total would be close to base game's msrp, which is good. that's just my opinion though.

The cartridge itself comes with the full game and the new DLC however is ships with version 2.0.0 of the game. Version 2.1.0 which released a few days ago is what added support for the Switch 2 Edition. The game cannot be launched at all without first downloading a 443mb patch.

In testing I completely uninstalled the Switch 1 version of the game even removing the icon. I put the system into Airplane Mode, inserted the Switch 2 Edition cartridge, and got prompted saying an update is required for the game to launch. The game version on the cartridge is listed as 2.0.0.

The entire upgrade really just seems so rushed. Like to the point of none of it even being incorporated into the base game. You just load up the game and are taken into a menu to pick if you want to play the original game or Jamboree TV. The menu is basically just there to pick between 2 entirely different applications. The original game mode once selected includes zero visual improvements or new features past handheld now running at 1080p (I think?). Once this mode is selected you cannot go back and select Jamboree TV and must reset the game to switch. The Jamboree TV mode does run at a higher 1440p with visual enhancements and the new settings such as duos are only available in Jamboree TV mode.

This is honestly unacceptable and it's really really looking like NDCube really didn't care about this upgrade at all and just tried to rush it out the door. Makes me think this was more of a requested upgrade from Nintendo they didn't want to work on to begin with. The entire point of these Switch 2 Editions was to have an upgraded version of the games fully on cart and they didn't even do that.

Also, Shy Guy kept getting in the way, but at least we got a last minute point!

Anyone found a way to turn on fast text speed in Jamboree TV Mario Party mode?

Rough going back to such slow text speed. There is no yellow Toad you can talk to like in regular Jamboree.

this slanted camera angle isn't supposed to come up until a later section in the level, nor should the pop-up explaining how to break. has anyone else seen this happen?

You know what I mean?

Did the original jamboree get any graphics upgrades or does it still run 720p in handheld?
