“Samba de Amigo Party Central: Launching on August 29 with 40 Songs Including Sonic Tracks”

Samba de Amigo was one of those quirky, brilliant and just insanely fun games that helped define Sega’s Dreamcast. One of the most important ingredients was the fact that you got to play it with maracas.

When the game makes a comeback later this year, maracas have been replaced by Joy-Cons in this Switch-exclusive edition called Samba de Amigo Party Central, which hopefully won’t make it any less fun. Now Sega has updated it official website and reveals that the game will launch on August 29.

40 songs will be included at launch, and 20 of them have been revealed, namely:

• Break Free ft. Zedd – Ariana Grande
