Samba de Amigo: Party Central will get Sonic the Hedgehog content when it launches exclusively on Switch this summer.
Blue Blur will join the maraca-shaking monkey on stage with two Sonic songs — ‘Escape from the City’ from Sonic Adventure 2 and ‘Fist Bump’ from Sonic Forces. There’s also a stage based on City Escape from Sonic Adventure 2, and Sonic will be shaking.
This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to fans of the series, which debuted on the Dreamcast in 2000 after a long run in the arcades in 1999. Sonic Team developed the original and the Wii re-release, so the monkey and the hedgehog go hand in hand.
This brand new Samba de Amigo game was announced during the latest Nintendo Direct in February 2023. In case you haven’t had a chance to check it out, here’s a quick overview of all the game’s features:
– Get up and shake the center of the stage in this lively and colorful rhythmic action game with smooth Joy-Con controls that make the game fun for everyone.
– Groove to 40 hit songs from the world’s most popular genres, with more coming as DLC after launch!
