Samba De Amigo

Recommended Posts

It was confirmed yesterday night, what did you expect?

 

It's hard a good two months of rumours and build up to which very little discussion is made.

 

Hell, we've just found out it definitely exsists and it's struggle to reach second page.

Yeah but everyone knows what to expect from the game really!

 

Until we get some info on the Wii version, there's not all that much to guess at and talk about!

According to 1up, this is being developed by Gearbox. Gearbox of Brothers in Arms fame.

 

Just imagine what that game is going to be like:

 

"Lieutenant, we're surrounded and pinned down by heavy artillery. What should do?"

 

"There's only one thing to do, Corporal: SAMBA! "

At last. An official press release

 

LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (October 25 2007) - SEGA® of America, Inc. and SEGA® Europe Ltd. are excited to announce that they are bringing back Samba De Amigo™, the Dreamcast classic that helped to create the now-popular rhythm music genre. Created exclusively for the Wii home video game system, this vibrant and addictive new game lets players shake to the beats of a samba-infused soundtrack comprised of popular new songs as well as fan-favorites from the original game.

 

Playing as the grinning, sombrero-topped monkey, Amigo, players shake the Wii Remote and Nunchuk like maracas, in time with the visual beats of the music on-screen. The perfect party game, Samba De Amigo is packed with lively stages and a host of colorful characters. More details about this exciting new title including a full song listing as well as new special features will be revealed over the next few months.

 

"The Wii’s controllers enable players to enjoy Samba De Amigo’s unique gameplay without having to purchase an expensive peripheral," said Rick Naylor, Director of Marketing at SEGA. "Between the music, the quirky art style, and the maraca-shaking players, Samba De Amigo is as much fun to watch as it is to play."

 

Developed by acclaimed developer, Gearbox Software, Samba De Amigo will be exclusively available for the Wii in spring 2008.

Why should anyone make the effort? If Samba de Amigo doesn't sell itself to you then no amount of persuasion is going to pierce your black stone heart.

It was announced back in February; before Rock band Wii was announced, and took off like... a week later in Japan, with Wiiware; there's no way that EA wasn't aware of it beforehand, and they haven't even released the game yet.
