Samba de Amigo : Party Central Reveals More Information on the Co-op Mode, New Characters and Stages

SEGA has just revealed more information about Samba de Amigo : Party Central, involving details about the co-op modes in Party for Two, characters, stages, and more. The press release is as follows:

Using your Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons as maracas, line up the maracas with dots on the screen at the right angle, wait for the right moment, and shake ’em! Follow on-screen instructions to dance or strike a pose, and groove to the beat of hit songs.

More tracks will be added as DLC after the game is released.

Party for Two

This game is packed to the brim with a variety of different party modes. Play with a friend to bump up the fun to a whole ‘nother level! Are you ready for a real party?!

• Love Checker

Dance with a friend and predict your compatibility in Love Checker! Every time your Joy-Con shakes match up, the heart icons on the screen will get closer and closer. The number of hearts you earn will determine your compatibility.

Every now and then, both of your rhythm maps will merge into one. In addition to keeping the beat, you’ll have to strategize and improvise with your partner in order to hit the rhythm balls and perform two-person poses.

This mode is a blast for players and spectators alike!

In addition to showing your compatibility percentage, you’ll be placed into a category and given advice. Play Love Checker with somebody you want to get closer to and you should see some results!… probably.

And, if you reach 100% compatibility…

• Showdown

Battle with your friend to appeal to the in-game audience. Play through segments of a song as you compete to win over the crowd.

If you lose, you’ll be given an “appeal chance”! Perform imitations, blow kisses, and complete other wacky shenanigans to win back your real audience—the people around you!

These elements will lead to hysterical moments when playing with friends.

• Rhythm Game

Of course, co-op is also available for the regular game mode. After the song ends, the MVP Mark on the results screen will reveal which player danced the best!

• Petite Rhythm Game

This is a mode that allows you to play through a song while only doing the minigames that appear in Happenings. Up to two players can enjoy this mode.

• • Knock it out of the park!

Feel the rhythm and swing your bat at the ball that comes flying at you! Try to get a home run!

• • Exercise!

A workout that just really gets you moving. Which one of you has the most stamina? This could be a great way to get into shape together!

• • Left and Right!

In this game, you’ll have to swing right or left depending on each rhythm ball. It may be a bit difficult to get used to, but it can make for some intense battles once you get the hang of things!
