During its recent Direct, Nintendo announced Super Mario Party Jamboree - a brand new Mario Party title coming to the Switch on 17th October 2024.
Now, following the classification of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, it the ESRB has also rated the new Mario Party game. It's rated 'E' for everyone, contains "mild fantasy violence" and notes "users interact" and "in-game purchases".
"This is a collection of mini-games (party games) in which players compete to earn stars, coins, and rankings. As players engage in different modes (e.g., board game, rhythm games, puzzle-based games, flying games, mini-games), they encounter or participate in whimsical instances of fantasy violence: cartoony cannons/cannon turrets that shoot at giant characters; avoiding a robot with giant boxing gloves/fists; using over-sized hammers against each other; connecting electric circuits to zap a boss character. Damage is indicated by blinking, comical yelps, and/or dizzy star effects."
The previous entry Mario Party Superstars (dating back to 2021) received the same 'E' rating and referenced "mild cartoon violence", "users interact", and "in-game purchases". In the end, it got two small updates fixing some issues with local and online play but never received any DLC.
