[Rapid Review] Samba de Amigo: Party Central

Posted on 1 year ago by Edan(@@Virtualboi92) in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments

System: Switch
Release date: August 29, 2023
Developer: SEGA
Publisher: SEGA

Look, I don’t want to seem ungrateful – but out of all of the franchises SEGA could have thawed from cryo-sleep in 2023, Samba de Amigo was not the one I would have expected. The fan-favorite rhythm action celebration of Latin American music and culture last graced our consoles a whopping 15 years ago, and even that was just a Wii port of an even older title. Nevertheless, SEGA has seen fit to resurrect the franchise with a brand new entry exclusive to Switch, and they’ve even attached series creator Shun Nakamura as the game’s director and producer. You would hope that this pedigree coupled with the the console’s maraca-adjacent control method would result in a pleasantly breezy party-game smash – the reality however, is anything but with Samba de Amigo: Party Central.

Sonic Superstars reveals Digital Deluxe Edition, Rabbit Skin and more

Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments

SEGA has announced that Sonic Superstars is set to receive a Digital Deluxe Edition with some special goodies, including a Rabbit Skin.

For those that are unaware, this is going back to the earliest days of the character’s history. SEGA was originally toying around with the idea of using a rabbit – the character was only settled on a hedgehog later on. Naoto Ohshima, who is working on Sonic Superstars, came up with the initial rabbit design. But due to different factors such as wanting to focus on speed, featuring a hedgehog made more sense.
