SEGA has unveiled more information about the Nintendo Switch title Samba de Amigo: Party Central released last August 30, 2023, including details about the World Party mode.
Using your Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons as maracas, line up the maracas with dots on the screen at the right angle, wait for the right moment, and shake ’em. Follow on-screen instructions to dance or strike a pose, and groove to the beat of hit songs.
