Samba De Amigo: Party Central Demo Now Available On The Switch eShop

I have the game preordered, so may as well check the demo out to see if it's gonna be worth my money. I enjoyed the other two games though, so I imagine I'll like this too.

Might give this a try. Haven't REALLY tried any of the games in the series. Not on Dreamcast or Wii.

I need the full song list.
There are probably some licensed songs I will not like them.
I don't like a lot of popular nowadays songs, they are all horrible for my taste.

This will be my birthday auto-present

Well that's probably necessary, with how bad the controls are on the Wii version. One of my most disappointing purchases ever, finally getting to own a version of Samba De Amigo in 2008 only for the controls to fail to work properly.

Fun fact, I didn't know at the time, that version was made by Gearbox. Which does in fact mean a Sega and Gearbox collab has been a disaster twice, just no one noticed the first time.

@Anti-Matter I can relate. It doesn't matter how good the mechanics are if you don't enjoy the song list.

Yeah I'm not going to play this when I'm already sweating from summer heat even by just sitting still lol.

If I remember later when summer is over I might check it out.

ah nice , a bit of samba on this summer day (have the dc and Wii versions, but I'm not sure yet I need a new one)... go Dreamcast!

I absolutely LOVE the previous Samba De Amigo games...so I pre-ordered this right away!!

I love rhythm games, but I despise the whole reggaton, trap scene… its the same problem I have with the just dance games. the only way they could sell me this game is id they included classic latino singers like La Lupe or Olga Guillot (But they are not very…. VIdeogamable I think)
BTW listen to la lupe rendition of yesterday… it’s really something

not yet in Europe

As long as the motion controls work, then this should be great fun! Demo time!

@RainbowGazelle No need to go on full attack mode to the NL staff dude. Just create a NA account. It literally takes less than 5 minutes to do.

Will wait to pick this up on the (inevitable) reduced price; and on the slim chance of us getting a complete physical with all the DLC that will work out nicely too.

@fox_mattcloud I know that. That's not the issue. It's Nlife's disparity in the way they report on regional news that's the problem.

@dartmonkey Thanks for that!

@RainbowGazelle Are you ok man?

@tapdancingtommy Yep! Just pointing out the discrepancies between the reporting of American news and EU news on this website.

@RainbowGazelle Don’t play it off like that… That is not remotely what you said. You called out the website in the most jerk way possible.

Learn to be a helpful contributor and not an ***hole. Believe it or not, that is possible.

Still no City Pop music I'd guess. The game looks fun, but I'm with Anti on this. Modern music really detracts from the experience for me. Even if it weren't City Pop, it seems like there already is great music for a samba game, and it's definitely not rap, pop, or whatever modern thing the kids listen to these days.

@tapdancingtommy Of course it's possible. And yes that's exactly what I said. I've pointed it out on this website time and time again in a civilised manner, but that's got us nowhere. I'm not an "***hole" as you politely put it. I'm just fed up of the differential treatment between regions.

Time to test if the motion controls actually work... I really hope they do.

Oh great news, thank you!! I have been waiting to play this demo-I already ordered the game from Amazon anyway as i loved the Wii version so I am excited to try it out

@RodSD64 I think they are better than the wiimotes in this (and maybe better than my dfake maracas on the dreamcast)

I’m not convinced the controls will work properly..

The original on Dreamcast worked nearly perfect for me.. if the joycons in demo can do the job, I’m up for a purchase.

Still think they need to add some maracas to the joy cons though.

Just tried it, for someone who hates excercise this is exactly what I needed, it's so fun! I pe-ordered it minutes after playing

Bloody hell. This was… surprisingly really good. I enjoyed the original and wasn’t a massive fan of the Wii Remake.

This demo for the sequel has changed my mind.

@romanista
I tried the demo, and sadly, they are not accurate. Besides, the gameplay is constantly interrupted with random stuff.

@RainbowGazelle Thanks for reminding NL that not all of their visitors are from America 👍

@JohnnyMind
I'm the exact same, ring fit felt like a chore to play as good as my intentions were, It sounds like you will like this one too! I can tell you that my arms hurt a bit today so it works haha it won't be as good as ring fit for fitness/weight loss but its a hellava lot better than sitting down, and it doesn't feel like work at all

Only problem is I don't think the song list will be my taste but I'm hoping because it's Sega, we'll get some Hatsune Miku downloadable songs in the future.

@JohnnyMind Very true, being too niche would have doomed it to fail, nah I've not heard of that one, I got into rhythm games on Switch so I know I've missed out on some gems!

Just googled the tracklist because I didn't know, there are some 'popular songs' on there that I like actually, but let's be real, i will just be playing Escape from the city on loop, I'm not even a Sonic fan, but that song is childhood xD

@JohnnyMind
I didn't have it either, I played it round a friends house haha xD
