Nintendo Releases Super Mario Party Jamboree Update 2.4.0 With GameShare Expansion

Nintendo released a version 2.4.0 update for Super Mario Party Jamboree on November 9, 2026, adding online sharing for the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition.

Up to four players can now play board games using a single game cartridge through the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware.

The patch enables GameShare using GameChat, according to the developer.

Switch 2 players share games online

The host must use a Switch 2 with the Jamboree TV edition and update 2.4.0 or later to host. A camera remains optional for these sessions.

To start, the host selects GameShare and then Friends via GameChat to invite others. Guests must press the C Button on their consoles.

Guests then select See Invites to GameShare and choose Join GameShare. These players can participate without having purchased the game themselves.

The update also expands playable content during these sessions. Previously, the Osu-wake Tsushin game was restricted to a single board.

Players can now customize settings like the number of turns. This moves the game beyond the standard Party Rule: 10 Turns.

Local play requires different hardware

Mega Wiggler’s Tree Party was available through local GameShare before this update. One Switch 2 console and one game allow play on a Switch or Switch Lite.

An original Nintendo Switch can join a compatible local wireless session. However, online GameShare requires the host and all guests to use a Nintendo Switch 2.

Developers fix gameplay stability

The 2.4.0 update fixed issues to improve gameplay for the original Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendolife reported. The developer did not detail the specific nature of these fixes.

The patch notes state that “other issues” were fixed to improve the overall gameplay experience on both consoles. The title also includes Bowser Live mode and Carnival Coaster modes, Finalweapon reported.

Finalweapon described the title as one of the best Mario Party games ever with a mediocre collection of updates that feel like gimmicks for the most part.

The reviewer added: The puzzling decision to split updates across the Switch and Switch 2 content only adds to the overall feeling that this is a channel I can’t recommend tuning into unless you’re the biggest of Mario Party fans.
