Samba de Amigo held back a week News

Wii News by Robert Purchese

9 September, 2008

SEGA has told Eurogamer that Samba de Amigo will release a week later than expected on 26th September.

This Wii update of the Dreamcast original made for a musical smile after our hands-on session earlier in the year. There may be no maraca peripherals, but the colourful rhythm-action game packed exactly the sort of friends-will-laugh punch we expected. And we do expect punch.

Excitingly, Samba de Amigo will also offer downloadable songs to shake along to post-launch. "Are You Going to Be My Girl" by Jet has been confirmed to appear, as has stuff by Lou Bega and Bow Wow Wow, the US rapper who shot to pre-pubescent fame a few years back.

The full list of both new and returning Samba de Amigo songs can be found elsewhere on Eurogamer.

Expect our thoughts on the game in timely fashion.

Bow Wow Wow were an 1980s New Wave band managed by former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren during 1980. The group's music is described as having an "African-derived drum sound" - perfect for some Samba maraca shaking.

Apparently a Nintendo website/magazine have reviewed this and gave it 60% due to Wiimote accuracy issues that are reportedly even worse than the preview version. I'm hoping this isn't true of course and has nothing to do with the delay :O

CapnCloudchaser - if those accuracy rumors are true, then I'll gladly wait for a version that uses the MotionPlus controller add-ons. I loved the original on the Dreamcast with the Sega maracas, but they were far from perfect. The Wii remote and nunchuka need to be at least as good as the old, tethered model.
