Might we ask, have you mastered the musical might of maracas? No, not Maccas. Maracas! You can’t eat Samba de Amigo: Party Central, but we are lovin’ it (it = the beat). It’s all about making music mayhem with maracas. ’Cept you can shake it without the IRL chac-chac shakers. Just sub in Joy-Cons. Simple. It’s like Just Dance with cool curveballs. First, spruik your amigo avatar’s style. Then toe-tap (and wrist-tap) to a top track list of 40 hits across stacks of groovy genres. Keep the beat and ignore the heat. Flick those Joy-Cons towards the on-screen tune targets with tight timing. Now pop a peak pose, or bust out some free-form dance moves. Got the groove? Look out for rad random events. Like, a flurry of 5+ flying high-fives. That “Party Central” subtitle isn’t just for show – toss a spare Joy-Cons to a maraca mate to make magical moves together!
