Samba de Amigo: Party Central doesn't fully capitalize on its potential, but it still manages to be a ton of fun by getting the basics right.
Samba de Amigo: Party Central marks the arrival of SEGA's classic rhythm series on the Nintendo Switch, a destination that feels overdue. If the Joy-Cons have ever been meant for anything, it's taking up the role of maracas for furious shaking to the beat, a role that once required the purchase of peripherals for the franchise's original entry on the Dreamcast.
Casual Fun Is The Name Of The Game What makes Samba de Amigo: Party Central sing is that the Joy-Cons work just as well as one might hope, representing a significant uptick in accuracy from the occasionally finicky Wiimote controls. Rarely does it feel like any notes are misread, and the poses that a player occasionally has to strike prove far more consistent than on the Wii.
From a singleplayer perspective, there unfortunately isn't all that much to master in Samba de Amigo: Party Central. Even maxing out the difficulty on the hardest songs rarely leads to anything where a 100% can't be easily acquired. The StreamiGo mode offers a succession of challenges as a basic excuse for a campaign mode, but it's too bare-bones to be particularly engaging.
Unfortunately, there's a definite sense that Samba de Amigo: Party Central is sidelining its Latin music roots in favor of a Just Dance-esque pop appeal, with disappointingly minimal representation of the franchise roots across the tracklist. This shift can likewise be seen in the general presentation, although some classic figures do return to dance across the stage.
