Samba De Revival? Maracas on the Wii?

Kind of a no brainer, I mean the Wiimote and Nunchuk are the closes thing to the Maracas controllers.

When Sega had that poll on their site for which franchise to revive on the Wii, I was screaming for Samba de Amigo. It was the only one that made sense.

Instead, the fans asked them to destroy their beloved NiGHTS. When that comes out and sucks, the fanboys will only have themselves to blame.

Although I already own Samba De Amigo on the Dreamcast, if Sega were to ever develop a new version exclusively on the Wii I’d buy it in a heart beat for a budget price. While the DC release was a more of a sleeper hit I really think this game has the potential to catch on with the casual audience and actually have a strong chance of selling really well as a result.

I know for sure Samba De Amigo would be a great party game to play whenever you have friends or family over. This is just the sort of title that can bring everyone in the room together for a few laughs and excitement. I just hope Sega has something new planned in the song department, the core game mechanic can stay the same, just have some fresh new songs to shake your maracas to.
