Samba de Amigo: Party Central Announced for Nintendo Switch

1 year 3 months ago

In a major surprise for practically everyone, during today's Nintendo Direct event, the company revealed a new Samba de Amigo game would be coming to the Nintendo Switch.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central is a rhythm game that features a playlist of over 40 songs across a wide range of genres like Latin and pop music. Alongside the core gameplay, which requires motion controls to shake high, middle, or low spots visible on the screen, Sama de Amigo: Party Central also includes a slew of mini-games and challenges to partake in. Party Central also features local and online multiplayer support with up to 8 friends to join in.

The last Samba de Amigo game released was a port made for the Nintendo Wii, which launched back in 2008. In our review of Samba de Amigo for the Wii, which we gave a 7.5, we noted that it's good for casual gamers, but might be a bit frustrating for fans that played the original game on the Dreamcast.

Samba de Amigo: Party Central will be released sometime this summer.
