Retro_Link Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 http://www.jeux-france.com/news21345_samba-de-amigo-de-retour-sur-wii-.html Samba De Amigo of return on Wii? If one believes certain North-American retailers of them, Sega should reveal soon the existence of Samba De Amigo on Wii. The title, taking again the bases of the episode left on Dreamcast in December 2000, should be born in North America lasting the first quarter 2008. http://www.cubed3.com/news/8323/1/Samba_de_Amigo_Heading_to_Wii? Nintendo Rumour | Samba de Amigo Heading to Wii? Quick News: Samba de Amigo is heading to Wii, according to a local Gamestop list. The rumour suggests a Feb. 6, 08 release priced at $49.99. Be sure to stick around for confirmation or debunking. Thanks to C3 reader eastside for the tip. I SO hope this is true!!!It has been long rumoured and makes sense on Wii! If anyone doesn't know what the Dreamcast original was like, here's a couple of links, Info http://uk.dreamcast.ign.com/objects/014/014748.html Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9e7vL5MH1o Gotta love the Dreamcast!
4q2 Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 This game needs a revival.....Wonder what it will do to the price of the DC set though (I paid an idiots sum for mine lol, but worth every penny)
mcj metroid Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 I have never played the original. its a bongo game or something right? forgive my dreamcast ignorance.
4q2 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 You played it with two controllers shaped like maracas.
mcj metroid Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I see then that sound like the perfect fit for wii. If it was good Then i'll look forward to this. Guess if it's 2 wiimites It can only be 2 player... Or will the nuncheck be used. guess we don't know yet.
4q2 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Im betting it will be wiimote and nunchuck....Seems the most sensible route to adding multiplayer. It was a fantastic game imho, unfortunately it was not cheap when released as the full pack and a bit boring on the dc controller. A game that never really saw its proper sales potential
jammy2211 Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 YAY. I've yet to see one of these list type things wrong yet. Happy days for me, perhaps SEGA might do something right for once?
pedrocasilva Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Good Sega, now port over Shenmue 1&2, Rez and do a Panzer Dragoon and I'll call my Wii the Wiimcast. (yay!)
mcj metroid Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 should have said driimcast:) or would that sound dreyemcast?
tapedeck Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Even a port with waggle would do me. (The first time I've ever said that!)
Cube Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Even a port with waggle would do me. (The first time I've ever said that!) So, just a port then? As the original already had waggle.
tapedeck Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 touche. Indeed. If it comes with two orange balloons that I can attach to two wiimotes I'm sold!
Strange Cookie Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Ah, back from the holidays and news of Samba De Amigo on Wii? Happy homecoming indeed! If ever a game was made to be ported on Wii, this is the one. It makes sense, but Sega and 'sensible decisions'' aren't very good friends these days... C'mon, undeniably solid confirmation! Head our way!
Hero-of-Time Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Just read about this on GoNintendo. The article confirms that GearBox Software is working on Samba de Amigo, and the game will feature new and classic songs.
DCK Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Gearbox? The guys that wouldn't port Brothers in Arms to Wii? The team supposedly porting Unreal Engine 3.0 to Wii? They are making Samba Wii?!
flameboy Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Fantastic News! Only played the original once but it is BY FAR THE BEST Rhythm game I have ever played...
Cube Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 The only two non-FPS titles they've done are ports. And one of those is a 3rd person shooter. Quite odd...especially as they are also working on 3 FPS games. Still, one of those is with Sega.
Owen Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 I still have Samba De Amigo boxed and fully complete for the Dreamcast and LOVE IT! Will definately be getting this!
Zelda_Rulez Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 Confirmed by Sega: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3163152 UPDATE: Sega of America has since confirmed to 1UP that Samba de Amigo is coming to Wii, courtesy of Gearbox Software. They promise that more information is coming soon, so stay tuned![/Quote]
jammy2211 Posted September 24, 2007 Posted September 24, 2007 I swear this game is getting absolutely no hype. It's now 100% definite and to be honest should be awesome. There is still a long way to go but provided it has some legendary songs in it, and multiplayer it's a winning formula. Could end up a great game for me.
Zechs Merquise Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Why are SEGA toying with me? All I want is HotD and Virtua Cop! Well, actually I want a lot more from them, but those two are my faves. It's good that classic franchises can be easily resurected on Wii due to low development costs and ease of programming. Games like this are fun and simple, the sort of thing people on the high street will go and pick up, have a blast with and tell their friends about.
Strange Cookie Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Hold on to your horses, it's gonna start raining kiwi's! Sega actually does something the fans want? Anything goes from now. Someone must be ill. That or an employee from the good ol' days must have been rehired. Anyhoo: So Gearbox is handeling it, eh? Peculiar choice for such a game, but you never know. They did a fine job on porting Halo to PC, so I hope they can get the feel of Samba De Amigo just right.
Hellfire Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 I swear this game is getting absolutely no hype. It was confirmed yesterday night, what did you expect?
Gizmo Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 So thats Samba, NiGHTS, Sega Rally. Cue Shenmue?
