Samba de Amigo Wii to offer DLC

By Robert Purchese Published 22 August, 2008

Full track list inside.

Samba de Amigo on Wii will offer downloadable content when a trio of songs are added shortly after the game launches on 19th September.

"Mambo Mambo" by Lou Bega, "I Want Candy" by Bow Wow Wow, and "Are you Going to Be My Girl" by Jet will join the main set-list of over 40 songs on 23rd September.

SEGA will announce regional pricing soon, apparently.

Samba de Amigo involves shaking your Wiimote and nunchuk along to on-screen prompts designed to match the rhythm of the music.

The Dreamcast original had actual maracas, but the Wiimote and nunchuk are up to the challenge, using the Wiimote speaker to create the same impression.

    You can't beat the Dreamcasts downloadable tracks; outrun, sonic racing, afterburner.....and all for free.

  • Vinicity #2 4 years ago

    Yay! Mexican Flyer! The soundtrack to Space Channel 5. I will dig out my iPod and listen to it right now, methinks.

    Makes me long for a new next-gen Space Channel 5...

  • Stuz359 #3 4 years ago

    Awesome

  • Ignatius_Cheese #4 4 years ago

    Not only Mexican Flyer but there have been some screenshots released featuring Ulala dancing with maracas!!

    All kinds of awesomeness! ^_____^

  • UKLL #5 4 years ago


    Glad to see Take On Me is still there, best track on the DC version.

  • Darkedge #6 4 years ago

    There appears to be maraca addons for your wiimote and nunchuck too :) that rock.. and it's a definite purchase for me

  • BlackSentoki #7 4 years ago

    I am so looking forward to this! :)

  • CapnCloudchaser #8 4 years ago

    Yeah, I want the old Sonic tracks back as well :(

  • tardo #9 4 years ago

    the Dreamcast downloadable tracks were awesome. Especially the NiGHTS song, a Burning Rangers song (although not the song I really loved from the game). God, just remembering that really makes me want a Burning Rangers game on the Wii so I can go rescue Yuji Naka again.

  • smelly #10 4 years ago

    Knowing how the nunchuck/wiimote work.. I'm STILL at a loss as to how this'll actually play..

    I cant see the poses working properly (for example)

  • FFS #11 4 years ago

    Count me out.

    But... will this be actual DLC or will it be a little thing that unlocks stuff that's already on the disc?

  • niacin #12 4 years ago

    Groove is in the heart! oh it was already a definite purchase for me but now I don't see this ever coming out of my wii.

  • smelly #13 4 years ago

    "will this be actual DLC or will it be a little thing that unlocks stuff that's already on the disc? "

    Who cares?

    It's tracks they're not including with the original game, that you have to pay to unlock (downloaded or otherwise).

    I dont get why it makes a differnce as to whether you're actually physically downloading the track or not.

    Doesnt matter to me, doubt i'll download any tunes - i'm cheap.

  • FFS #14 4 years ago

    If they make more stuff AFTER - akin to the Splinter Cell levels for Xbox (which were free), then it's justified even if you are paying.

    Selling you a game for full whack and then getting you to unlock the content by paying for it takes the piss. Still, last laugh will be on them if that's the case,a s Homebrew will just unlock it anyway.
