So Nintendo dropped some big news in the character world, and that plunge into a thousand shades of excitement into the pool of gaming population from the game’s fans. Bowser himself shouted his own name angrily in that chaotic short clip from the official account of Nintendo of America and announced a new Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Yes, you read that right-Switch 2. There was also a convenient link to Jamboree TV in the tweet-who knows what it means?
What is it all about? To start with, the official acknowledgment of the Switch 2 by Nintendo is MASSIVE. Rumors and leaks about it have been flooding the surface for months now, and then we have… this?! This is the real confirmation that the next generation console is out along with Mario Party. And really, Super Mario Party Jamboree seemed like so much fun on its own, and therefore, a Switch 2 version means better graphics, smoother gameplay, and perhaps some wild new features.
Now, let’s take a minute and reflect on the reactions; ’cause oh boy, that is a MESS. People filled the replies with demands, jokes, and outright mayhem. People like @LiberalOguz called Nintendo cowards for not having released a Direct so far, while others like @bubblewrapg5 were begging for some crispy-any online multiplayer support (because really, it’s way more fun when you can yell at your friends down the line).
@QueenLadyBowser came in and said she was gonna call Bowser WAY louder than that clip. Honestly? Same. Meanwhile, @BlasterMasterG2 followed it up with the classic “Bowsette! Bowsette! Bowsette!” because, of course, they had to. The internet remembers.
Still, some were not impressed. @stevengigacz1 just replied, “don’t care. give us Metroid Prime 4 already.” Fair point. Meanwhile, @Jadenfire wanted an Animal Crossing update instead. Priorities, people.
The best anecdotes? The reply chaos. @HoleXpander just casually suggested emulating on Steam Deck for better frame rate (bold). @KameronKKJ rambled on with “HOLY POLAR BEAR!!!!!!” which… equals energy. And then there was @sunoxen, offering, “Heil Bowser! 👑” and honestly, we may have to think twice on that.
Ultimately, though, the key takeaway is that Nintendo is teasing Switch 2 for real, for real. Will there be a proper reveal soon, or are they just messing with us? Who knows. What is clear: the gamer community is ready. And if Bowser’s name is involved, oh boy, you can bet it won’t be a regular sane affair.
What happens next? More teasing? More leaks? More imprints of impatient fans refreshing their Twitter feeds every five seconds? However, for now, we are stuck and entertained by this awkward Bowser-own-name-landscape footage, so they can keep us in suspense till the next surprise.
Keep an eye on that Jamboree TV link. If you’ve got an idea about Nintendo, something’s up. Other than that… well, at least we have something silly to cling on to.
