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 ending January 5th, 2025, solidifying its continued critical and commercial triumph 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 success builds upon the beloved Mario Party franchise, introducing fresh game boards, modes, and playable characters while retaining the classic gameplay that fans adore. The game's expansive roster of iconic characters and innovative multiplayer modes (supporting up to 20 players) have garnered widespread praise. This follows its earlier success in the US, where it topped the sales charts in October 2024.

Famitsu, a leading Japanese gaming news outlet, reported Jamboree's impressive sales figures. With a total of 1,071,568 units sold in Japan (as of January 5th, 2025), including 117,307 units sold during the week of December 30th, 2024 – January 5th, 2025 – it significantly outperformed competitors like Mario & Luigi: Brothership and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Remarkably, its weekly sales even surpassed those of several all-time best-selling Nintendo Switch titles, including Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
