A rumour started doing the rounds shortly before tonight's Nintendo Direct started, which claimed that the iconic musical series that first arrived on Sega Dreamcast, Samba de Amigo, would be coming to Nintendo Switch as part of a new instalment.

Well, now that very Direct is ongoing, it has been officially confirmed, as Samba de Amigo Party Central will be making its debut on Nintendo Switch sometime this summer.

This instalment into the series will use the Joy-Cons' motion controls as the primary way to play the game, and will ask you to match movements in game all to a beat.
