Samba de Amigo is a solid competitor for Happiest Rhythm Game Of All Time up against my all time favorite, Taiko No Tatsujin. A lot of people have missed this gem on the Dreamcast, but thanks to its upcoming release on Wii, a whole new generation of gamers can get in on the maracas-shaking fun. The game was shown at Sega's recent Gamers Day, and the screenshots show Samba looking more eccentric and fun than ever. Check out the gallery for nine new screens which depict gameplay in front of a captive audience. Check out some of the detail in those shots -- the people in the top right corner especially look as if they are on the verge on a joy-induced aneurysm. HAPPY! The game is due this Spring, so we may not have to wait too long before we can re-enact elated dance spasms in the privacy of our own living rooms. Yay!

I believe you mean Sega. :)
Sony huh? This this game on the dreamcast, and might love it even more on the wii :)
Oh, sega.
Nah, the people in the corners aren't having joy-induced aneurysms, they're just Asian. That's how our eyes are all the time. :-D
Racism is fun with Samba De Amigo!
Yay!!! I hope Copas Al Mambo makes a return! =D
And no more Ricky please.
plastic maraca cases for wiimote and nunchuck pls!
I really doubt it'll be out in the Spring as there's less than a month left of Spring.
I'd bet on July or August.
I too hope that someone comes out with a decent Maraca shell for the remote (two Wii remotes is gonna be the only way to play this game as far as I'm concerned, I can't see the nunchuk working well). Preferably one that looks just like the original maracas.
A big part of the appeal of the game was the goofy controller with the shaker pack in it. It won't be the same if you're just shaking a couple of Wii remote, even if the speaker outputs sound.
Maracas ARE FUN FOR EVERYONE
I <3 Maracas
After the somewhat sketchy rhythm minigame in Zack & Wiki, I don't know if I can get behind any rhythm game that using the Wiimote. It lacks the precision timing, which is exactly what you need to play maracas well.
Im really not sure what was more surprising, the amount of stuff going on in the screenshots...... or the fact that the two Mii's are almost identical to my own and my gf's. If that monkey is stalking me, im kinda scared.
It's Mexican-flavored DC rhythm crack, now for the Wii. Just when my cynicism gets the best of me, I'm humbled by the fact that Sega still has someone inside their doors that still has some Goddamn sense.
Lets all do mescaline and play Samba De Amigo!
man I can't wait for this, never found a decent pair of working original maracas for my dreamcast :-D
I definitely want some sort of attachments for the wiimotes.
i always wanted the maracas
Samba es mi buen amigo :)
They should bundle this game with a sombrero.
