SEGA are due to release Samba De Amigo: Party Central for Switch and Meta Quest on August 29th 2023, and now the game is getting the mobile treatment through the Apple Arcade service as Samba De Amigo: Party-to-Go.
This Apple Arcade version is made from the same assets as the base game, but it features 3 additional songs that will not be available in the other ports. The game will be playable across all iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV devices as long as you have iOS 13 or later and 2.2gb of storage space. The Apple Arcade service is available for £4.99 a month and all games on the platform are available to play at no extra cost.
An entry on the App Store for Samba De Amigo: Party-to-Go is available now and you can view it by clicking here.
SEGA have revealed that 2 cuts from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise will be playable songs in Samba De Amigo: Party Central.
Both Escape From the City from Sonic Adventure 2 and Fist Bump from Sonic Forces will be playable songs in Samba De Amigo: Party Central. Also included is a City Escape-themed stage for Samba and friends to dance in. Sonic himself even joins the action. You can see a screenshot of the stage below:
Samba De Amigo: Party Central is a Nintendo Switch exclusive that will launch at some point in Summer 2023.
An unexpected revival has arrived! The Samba de Amigo franchise is back with a brand new entry called Samba de Amigo: Party Central. This new title is Nintendo Switch exclusive and is due to arrive in Summer 2023. Watch the reveal trailer below:
Samba de Amigo: Party Central is promising 40 new songs from a variety of different genres and also customisation options. Party Central will be the first Samba de Amigo title since Gearbox’s remaster of the original game for the Nintendo Wii back in 2008.
A brand new trailer for Hatsune Miku Project Diva Mega Mix has arrived and with it we get official confirmation of the game’s Western release date. Mega Mix will arrive on the 15th of May 2020 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch as an eShop downloadable title. See the game in action below:
Along with this announcement, pre-orders are now open on the Switch eShop alongside a free downloadable demo. The game costs £34.99.
A Western release of Hatsune Miku Project Diva: Mega39s has been confirmed. The game will release in the West at some point in 2020 as Hatsune Miku Project Diva MegaMix.
MegaMix is the first Project Diva title to be released for the Nintendo Switch and features a new “anime” art style and an additional motion-controlled mode called Mix Mode that requires you to move the joy cons over 2 left and right panels at the bottom of the screen. Check out the Western announcement trailer to see that in action:
Project Diva MegaMix also boasts over 100 songs and 300 outfits for the Vocaloids, with mix-and-match options for outfits and hairstyles. You can also design your own t-shirts in this game. It would also appear that the game is getting a digital-only release via the Nintendo eShop.
Japanese publisher Columbus Circle is releasing a new Mega Drive game called Rhythm Land. The title kind of gives it away, but this is a rhythm game in the Rhythm Heaven mould that features varied environments to interact with, all to the rhythm of a song. The soundtrack even features music from Yuzo Koshiro. Check out the trailer below which also features footage of the 8 bit version of Rhythm Land which is available for Famicom:
The game is due to release on the 15th of February 2019 and can be pre-ordered now through Amazon Japan for ￥6458 (roughly £45 at time of writing).
The previously arcade exclusive Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash is now coming to PS4 in Japan. There is currently no word on a Western release or even a solid release date, but a new trailer has gone live and showcases the game in action:
Space Channel 5 VR: Kinda Funky News Flash is essentially a remake of the 1999 Dreamcast original, but now with a first person, VR perspective and added motion controls.
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Future Tone is a PS4 port of the arcade title of the same name. If you’re not familiar with the arcade machine then the control setup is simplified to using just the Playstation face buttons for scoring the standard notes and a touch bar that lets you slide your finger across it to score slider notes. Every now and then you’ll have to score a combination of different notes together and advanced players can score hold notes and continue to combo other notes while still holding the hold note.
So here we are with Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X; the tenth title in the Project Diva series. That’s quite an impressive innings considering the franchise begun in 2009, but when you think about it, the core structure of these games has stayed pretty rigid since its inception so it must be pretty easy to tweak from game to game. Each title basically introduces you to a fresh playlist of songs to choose from and some additional mechanics that sometimes work well and sometimes don’t. So where does Project Diva X stand?
We have a new trailer for the Western release of Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X. A whole host of new songs are featured in the trailer so take a look below:
Pre-ordering Project Diva X will give you access to a pre-order bonus. The game will come with a Project Diva X glasses pouch. Directly playing to us Miku nerds, eh SEGA?
Hatsune Miku: Project Diva X launches in the West on the 30th of August 2016 on both PS Vita and PS4.
