Samba de Amigo DLC arriving along with game launch, brings in new Sega tunes and more

Sega’s Samba de Amigo revival isn’t far off now, and when the game arrives, it’ll be bringing an immediate round of DLC with it.

That’s poppin’

It’s still pretty incredible that we’re getting a new Samba de Amigo game in 2023, and yet here we are. Sega’s rhythm revival is set to hit the Switch this month, and when it drops it’ll be joined by an immediate set of downloadable-content. A total of 8 content packs are scheduled for release, so there should be plenty to keep you moving and grooving into the future.

The series starts with a trio that’ll arrive in the game’s launch window though, meaning you can add to the game’s set-list asap. Each pack will be priced in at $4.99 USD, and include three tracks, with the first drop including Japanese favorites, and music from Sega’s own collection.

Here’s the initial volley:

August 29

• Sonic the Hedgehog Music Pack ($4.99 MSRP)
  • “Open Your Heart” from Sonic Adventure™
  • “Reach For The Stars (Re-Colors)” from Sonic Colors™: Ultimate
  • “I’m Here” from Sonic Frontiers™!
• Japanese Music Pack ($4.99 MSRP)
  • “Kaikai Kitan” by Eve
  • “MATSUKEN SAMBA II” by Ken Matsudaira
  • “KING” by Hatsune Miku

September 27

• SEGA Music Pack ($4.99 MSRP)
  • “Baka Mitai (Taxi Driver Edition)” from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio
  • “Go Go Cheer Girl!” from Space Channel 5™: Part 2
  • “Rhythm Thief Theme” from Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure™

What you don’t see in the listing is a third DLC pack, which will be loaded with K-Pop stuff. Sega says that it’ll be arriving shortly too, joining the SEGA Music Pack on September 27th. Also don’t forget that there’s a Digital Deluxe Edition of the game itself, which will include some of what you see above, plus a bunch more.

That special version includes:

• The Standard Edition of the game
• Sonic the Hedgehog Music Pack
• SEGA Music Pack (scheduled to release September 27)
• Sonic the Hedgehog Costume & Accessories Pack
• Tails Costume & Accessories Pack
• Super Monkey Ball Costume & Accessories Pack
• Puyo Puyo Accessories Pack
• Space Channel 5 Costume & Accessories Pack

Samba de Amigo, both the base and Digital Deluxe Edition, arrives for the Switch on August 29th, 2023.
