![]() “And when I thought about what games I developed that would be suitable and still fun to play today, Samba de Amigo immediately came into my mind.” Image: Sega “I also felt that revival boom,” said Shun Nakamura, director of both the original and new Samba de Amigo games, as well as other Sega cult classics like Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg, Rhythm Thief & the Emperor’s Treasure, and the the arguably misunderstood Sonic the Hedgehog (2006). The whole 2000s revival movement hasn’t been lost on Sega either, who recently made it sound like this is exactly the reason why the property has made a return. This particular genre revival has me beaming. I’ve been having an excellent time working my way through Samba de Amigo: Party-to-Go. The goofy story is also a throwback to something all those aforementioned rhythm games of the early 2000s shared, and it’s where all the colour and personality of the memorable, wacky musical world is found. It’s simple and silly, but it serves as a great vehicle in giving you a reason to play through all of the game’s 40+ songs, with a very gradual difficulty curve to get you accustomed to reading the note chart, learning all the different mechanics, and just getting better at the game over time – something that’s hard to curate yourself through the standard quick play mode.

So needless to say, I’ve found a lot to love about the Apple Arcade version of Samba de Amigo – Party-to-Go. I’m someone who feverously devoured quirky, character-focussed rhythm action games of all kinds in the late 1990s and early 2000s – the era that gave birth to the original Samba de Amigo arise, as well as its memorable contemporaries that were positively bursting with personality – Parappa the Rapper, Gitaroo Man, Space Channel 5, Osu! Takatae! Ouendan!, among others. The Meta Quest VR version features a more Beat Saber-like experience, Party Central features competitive dance battles and party mini-games on top of its motion controls, and Party-to-Go features touchscreen rhythm gameplay instead, as well as an exclusive story mode. But confusingly enough, Amigo’s return is split across three similar, but slightly different game releases: Samba de Amigo: Party Central for Nintendo Switch, Samba de Amigoon Meta Quest VR, and Samba de Amigo: Party-to-Goon iOS and Mac devices, via the Apple Arcade subscription services.Įach has the same core gameplay, but also boasts its own feature set unique to the edition.
