SEGA GETS SHAKIN' WITH SAMBA DE AMIGO
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. For more information, please visit http://www.sega.com.
At least there's gonna be new music. I had no idea if they were gonna make a sequel or a port, so that kinda made my day, sorta. More like my hour and a half. I mean, let's face it, it's no Sonic in Brawl, but it made me a lot happier considering I didn't really expect this one to even make it past the rumor mill.

I think he meant something that's physically disturbing looking. Even if you get raped by an attractive person, it's still rape.
But Bo, I have banged your mother, so I personally have endured worse.
PS - I shouldn't have said that. That was just plain uncalled for.
However, I'm still not deleting it.

That reminds me, the GUN commander was the stupidest thing ever. His "back story" turned out to be a lie (proven so by the rest of the game), and he did nothing but add another layer of bad writing to that game. He should have been the soldier who killed Maria, now that would have been interesting.
And that monkey looks as though it is the tails doll in disguise, in fact it looks as though at any moment the tails doll will burst from inside the it and shluuuuuurpy your soul.

Well I guess we can forget about Sega giving Iizuka the back of their hand for anything either.
