While I haven’t played the franchise for some time, I know that many are excited for the arrival of Super Mario Party Jamboree in a few months. It was one of the big reveals during the last Nintendo Direct, and it’s piggybacking off the success of the last two Switch titles in the series. However, the important news of the day for that game is that The Big is giving you a nice gift if you purchase it. According to insider Stealth, Nintendo will give you three months of Nintendo Switch Online for free just by getting the game.
Nintendo of America announced that Super Mario Party Jamboree will come with 3 months of Switch online for free.

That’s a big deal, and for a key reason: the game is meant to be played with other people. Sure, you can do local co-op, but one of the hooks of Super Mario Party Jamboree is that you can have up to 20 people on a single board! Thus, you’ll need to go online to make that happen.
Not to mention, as Stealth points out in a follow-up tweet, by doing this, Nintendo ensures that people are enjoying the game to the fullest during the holiday season! Then, if they want to keep going with Switch Online afterward? It’s only 20 bucks. With the Switch gearing up for the end soon, and The Big N prepping its successor, it’s unsurprising that they are in such a “giving mood” near the end.
