About Me
Good day sir/madam and welcome to the world of someone who calls himself Anus Mcphanus. In the real world I go by the name of Dan.

The name Anus Mcphanus comes from back in school in 6th form. We had a TV in our common room and I used to bring in my N64 to play games during our lunch breaks. Being in a public (or private to you yanks) school meant that we couldn't shout out obscene profanities so openly and so we made up words/names we could say and not get in any trouble. Eventually these words became associated with a certain person and I became known as Anus Mcphanus which meant arsehole. I thought the name was quite hilarious and so I kept the name and use it as my online and gamer name from then onwards.

In my free time I enjoy being Welsh, taking long walks down the beach and punching small children in the face.
My life is rather dull and uninspiring.
I apparently like to drop my trousers. A lot.
I can't sing but often kid myself into thinking I can.
I do not like things up my butt. Except penis.


This is my sorry arse

Samba De Amigo Wii, now with MOAR Maracas!
Anus Mcphanus | 11:28 AM on 06.28.2008 11 comments


Over at hmv.com you can pre-order Samba De Amigo which is apparently due for release on the 5th September over here in the UK. Good news for Samba fans but what's exciting is the box art hmv are showing which looks like this:



Sega have hinted before that they were thinking of releasing maraca controllers for the wii port of the game but have not confirmed anything yet and although hmv are quick to note that this may not be the final packaging of Samba De Amigo, it's hard to believe they would show a box of this size for one game unless it came with an extra peripheral. The box is also too big for the game to be bundled with just an extra wii remote and so it is highly likely that Samba De Amigo for the wii comes with maraca controllers!!! (although at this point it is still a rumor)

Unfortunately, there's a catch. Judging from the picture these controllers are not stand alone maracas like the ones that came with the Dreamcast version of Samba and are in fact "sleeves" or "shells" that go over the wii remote. So that means you will have to have 2 wii remotes to enjoy these beauties. Not really a deal breaker but something to consider. **added note - you can still play using the wii remote and nunchuck combo, you just won't be able to use both of the maraca shells**
Then again the bundle is listed at £34.99 ($70 USD) which is about the going price for a brand new 3rd party release on the wii anyway, or just a little bit extra which means you're not really paying that much if anything extra for the maracas. So getting the maracas is just like getting the wii wheel with Mario Kart which spells 2 words in my eyes: Bar & Gain.

I still like to play on my Dreamcast copy of Sambda De Amigo (even though one of my maracas seems to be on it's last legs) from time to time and although I would have preferred stand alone maraca controllers, I am totally excited to get my hands on these wii remote maraca shells! I just hope that the shells aren't like fake maracas (the kind that don't make any noise) Now if only it also came with a sombrero...

CHA CHA CHA!!!

Cool, maybe I can persude my sister into buying one for my nephews, so I can then take over and KEEP THE FUCKING WII FOR MYSELF, yeah, I'll just give them my beloved ps3 instead, I loved this game on the DC when I was but a child, but atlas my bestest buddy went over to the dark side, ps2 gaming(lol only joking), and sold the damn DC on ebay,he now lives in shame for what he does. ;)

@tonemam, good point, but how the hell can you fit any type of extra controller add-on, on the nunchuck, it would most likely fly off and hit something.

Dude that's the kind of stuff that ruins friendships and marriages. I hope he gave you a cut on the cash he made on ebay :-P

@Toneman:
You can still use the wii remote and nunchuck to play the game, you just can't use the maraca shells

Dang.. no nunchuck use? Hmm, maybe there are game options, but if you HAD to have 4 wii-motes for 2 player that would sux.

I was planning on cellotaping yoghurt pots filled with lentils to my wiimotes but I think this is a slightly better idea.

@ANUS

Like hell he did, no he spent it on his then GF, Bastard, but I have always got him back by telling evry girl he is into that he used to be into scat porn, and if they do not know what it is, provide a short, brief explantion of it....

'People shat into each other's mouth, people then eat it, people then fuck each other silly, covered in shit, yes shit. He used to wank over that stuff when he was admitted to mental hospital, yes, he went there too.'

and yes my friend, it fucking works like a charm, he never succeceds in keeping that girl.
