Nintendo announced 'Samba de Amigo: Party Central,' an exercise-focused, maraca-themed rhythm game. The original Samba de Amigo was an arcade game, followed by a Sega Dreamcast, and most recently, a Nintendo Wii title. The 2023 iteration for the Nintendo Switch will be the most feature-packed, advanced version of the game to date.
In Samba de Amigo: Party Central, players will use the two Nintendo Switch Joy-Con controllers as maracas as they dance and move their bodies to various songs. The game is feature-packed with random events, multiplayer modes, competitive online modes, and colorful artworks.
