Sega’s new Samba de Amigo is gonna be packed with big name talent

Shake your joy-cons and get ready to keep the beat this summer. Sega’s Samba de Amigo: Party Central is loaded with massive musical talent.

They call me Samba Pete

Yep, it’s back. If you missed the announcement a short time back, Sega has re-energized the legendary rhythm-action of Samba de Amigo for the Switch generation.

Dubbed Samba de Amigo: Party Central, we already knew that the game would be loaded up with tracks from none other than Sonic the Hedgehog. Now though, the track list has been announced to include some 40 well-known songs. And of that list, the first batch has been revealed.

It’ll include:

• “Break Free ft. Zedd” by Ariana Grande
• “I Really Like You” by Carly Rae Jepsen
• “Payback (feat. Icona Pop)” by Cheat Codes
• “Let You Go (feat. Kareen Lomax)” by Diplo & TSHA
• “I Will Survive (Eric Kupper Mix Extended)“ by Gloria Gaynor
• “I Love It” by Icona Pop
• “Centerfold’ by J Geils Band
• “Bang Bang“ by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj
• “Sucker” by Jonas Brothers
• ”TiK ToK“ by Kesha
• “Panama” by Matteo
• “Plastic Hearts” by Miley Cyrus
• “Celebrate” by Pitbull
• “The Cup of Life (La Copa de la Vida)“ by Ricky Martin
• “XS” by Rina Sawayama
• “Bom Bom” by Sam and the Womp
• “Azukita“ by Steve Aoki, Daddy Yankee, Play-N-Skillz & Elvis Crespo
• “Macarena (Cover)”
• “Fugue (classic)”
• “La Bamba (Cover)”

Samba de Amigo won’t have proprietary controllers this time around, but will make use of the Switch’s joy-cons. So you’ll be using those to jam to the game’s set-list, when it’s released at retail some time this summer.

Expect a ton of mini-games, customizable characters, and online play with both a “World Party” mode and leaderboards.
