Sega just sent us a complete list of songs in Samba de Amigo which comes out on September 23 in North America. The good news is more than half of them are brand new just for the Wii version, but it looks like someone decided to make Samba de Amigo more “accessible” by adding recognizable artists like Jennifer Lopez and Rihanna. If this helps sell more copies of Samba de Amigo more power to Sega. To balance out the pop infusion there are new songs from Bellini who created the recognizable “Samba de Janeiro” track on the list too.
The 40+ songs are below plus a list of three songs in the first downloadable song pack. How much will the DLC cost? Sega didn’t say, but if you cost average the existing songs in the game each one is less than a buck. Based on this, my completely speculative guess is 300 – 500 Wii Points or $3 – $5 real dollars.
