Anyone else excited about Samba de Amigo coming to the Wii? Here is a topic for all to discuss their eagerness or the hatred of the new Samba game coming this year. What songs do you want to return? What new songs would you like? Do you have a tradition that you eat tortillas while you play the DC game that will return for Wii? Tell us about it!

Visit Sega's page for a new trailer featuring absolutely no gameplay whatsoever! But! it has pretty FMV footage (intro FMV maybe?) and shows the humor that will be throughout the game. Can be found here:

I can't wait to get this game! I've gotta get it the day it comes out!

[Innotech]

its apprently shipping with maracca addons included in the box. It also works with 2 wiimotes. This is going to be fantastic.

[NeoScriptor]

And since it'll have most of the original songs, I'd say there's a 90% chance that they'll use the same data files on the Wii. That means...custom Wii Samba! You'd need a mod chip though... : (

[shadow1111111]

I think it would be cool if songs from someone's SD card could be added to the game and that person could make their own patterns for that song. Or maybe beat detecting technology, something like "Beats" for PSP or "Audiosurf" for PC, could be used so the patterns would be made by the game itself. But adding your own music should be part of every music game now, because playing the given songs gets old after a while.

I have always thought that samba was sega's answer to parappa the rapper so I will have to rent and try this one out

[TheOrangeNightmare]

YAAAAYYY!!! I've never actually played Samba De Amigo before, but it looks AWESOME!! 'Tis mine!

[NeoScriptor]

So. How about those new wiimote attachments? Pretty sweet.

I can't wait to buy this game! I even went out and bought the original. Still haven't bought a dreamcast, however...

[Snugs]

Just came out in the US, did anyone buy it? Because I did, and the controls are hard to get around with on super hard. D:
Anyone know if you can use a classic controller? Because if you can, I would so buy one just for this.

[Shia Hatsune]

Just got it today. Takes a while to get used to, you just need to know your way around a Wii-mote. Lol. I've never played Samba, but I thought it was a good game. I don't know, maybe it's just cause I love flailing my arms around when a grade depended on it.It also gives you a good workout

And no, you can't use a classic controller.

[Snugs]

Is there anything other than getting high scores after completing Career mode? Because I beat Superhard in a couple sittings. X.x

[Saifer Dracondrali]

*yawns* *logs in* yup I'm back...

I never played Samba before but I think I get the gist of how it plays...
not allota ways Sega can screw this up... (but don't loose hope they might think of something )
Really the only think I worry about is the responsiveness of the wii remotes, which for the record is really good, but there are still games that seem to be faulty there non-the-less...

[TheOrangeNightmare]

Finally got it about two days ago, and it's pretty sweet! I already beat Easy, Normal and most of Hard in Career Mode, but a lot of times the sensor doesn't pick up my Wiimote movements...

[Snugs]

It almost seems like certain parts of songs become less responsive than other parts. Like, around the 3rd verse of Mambo Number Five on Hard, the right up spot almost never picks up anything. D:

Dang it why do I always have to be right about this stuff!?

[TheOrangeNightmare]

For me it's always the left middle spot that never picks up...
and wasn't there a rumor that Dreams Dreams was showing up too? I guess that was pretty much busted!

[NeoScriptor]

and wasn't there a rumor that Dreams Dreams was showing up too? I guess that was pretty much busted!

It seems you are correct. When I heard nearly all the original songs were going to be in Samba De Awiigo, I figured that included the 'downloadable content' from Samba De Amigo and Ver. 2000. Hopefully that means Sega will release a pack including all of those! I can't live without 'Open Your Heart', 'It Doesn't Matter', and 'Dreams Dreams'.

[Musashi_HUmar]

Oh man! Me either!

[Noctourne Wonderland]

SAMBA = LOVE

Honestly, this is a masterpiece of video games, up there with NiGHTS and Kirby Super Star!

So, for those who have it, some questions.
What's your favorite song to listen to? Mine's either Jump in the Line (lolol Beatlejuice), Groove is in the Heart (yay Ulala) or Borriquito (Does she say "Flamenco Disco"?).
What's your favorite to play? Mine is Borriquito.
What are you best at? For me, it's Samba de Amigo- 100% in Super Hard mode! Woohoo!
Least favorite song? I don't have one!
Any Problems? I can't do the "both to one lower side" pose. odd.

More games need hyper Mexican monkeys. They just do. *nods*

Your thoughts?

[Musashi_HUmar]

I bought it just today. I love it! This game is seriously underrated by the reviews!

[Meggiemaccat]

I played a demo version in gamestop the other day and had a lot of fun with it, but I think that's the most I'm gonna play it unless my boyfriend ends up renting it for me. ^^;;; *still doesn't own a Wii herself*

[Snugs]

I'd buy a downloadable patch for CC this game in a heartbeat.
Hard mode Mexican Flyer and Mamba Number 5 is a jerk to 100%, and during career, Mexican flyer was really annoying. D:

[Saifer Dracondrali]

Ok jus played this game thru most of normal mode and all of easy...

To me it's a fairly solid game the controls are responsive (most of the time) and the songs are great... but that's about it...

Here's my review...

This game is colorful... REALLY colorful... and I love the goofy yet creative characters, they reminded me of Sega's golden days... when we didn't get crap like Silver and Big the Cat (does Big even HAVE any fans?) anyhoo, jus seein the characters was a treat for me... and don't worry... Rio stops looking like a cross-dresser when you start playing the game... a lil... in fact they are such great characters in terms of appearance an personality (you kinda see it in gameplay) that I would say they needed their own story in career mode... if that is Sega wasn't in the pits atm... also the game plays pretty smoothly posing is simple and you can shake the wii remote with little fear of bringing it too high or too low, but alas this was made by Sega and thus has its drawbacks... first the nunchuk tends to goof off on you bouncing between high and low when you try to hit a note, in fact I had a problem a couple times where I would need to shake rapidly but it would for some reason get stuck at top no matter how far I pointed down this was remedied by holding the nunchuk still for about 1 sec. (2 secs for tryin to figure out whats going on + 1 sec for holding the nunchuk still = BOO!!) *I mentioned before I like the characters? I also like the backgrounds but after seein the same one over and over? it gets kinda dull (sick of getting an A and ending up in that Trippy stoner world)... especially since the characters do the same action continuously amiga hops in circles, rio spins a trumpet on his finger while walking back and forth, linda shakes her arse (no complaints ) and walks back and forth and so on... and when you finish Career? not much to do.... cept try ta beat your scores... but not alot motivates you to do so... you can't even compare on leader boards! so unless you and 1000+ ppl share the same console why bother? I haven't done any multiplayer yet but I assume its fairly solid. and nothin beats playing to this games music btw its all good imo so its great to jam into while you play.... but don't do so too much or you'll throw off your "beat"
downloadable content is cool... but I'd rather not pay 5 bucks seeing as I can play Disgaea 3 and download new killing machines into my army for free... when they release em

In the end a solid game that still feels abit like it belongs in the bargan ben for playtime... BUT it still beats the crap outta alot of Sega's recent titles.

btw Sonic appears in it... woop-di-do... he doesn't even dance well...

* raises hand shyly* I like Big! (his -bleeping- fishing levels are irritating, though)

Rio is a cross dresser (though I love him). Have you not seen "his" lipstick?

Stoner world is fun. Winners don't do drugs

Five bucks is not too bad, but three songs? It's crazy.

Am I the only one who found this game super awsome fasanastic? sigh

Dance Sonic! Vogue! Let your body move to the music! (Sorry, the how to play thing makes me think of Madonna- strike a pose, let your body move to the music, etc...)

[Penelopi]

I just got this game two days ago, played it the first time yesterday, and man was it fun!! I wish I'd been able to get the original if it was that good. The upper right spot seems to have some configuration troubles, but I'm adjusting. I was pleasantly surprised to find "Oye Como Va" on there. My high school marching band played that in its show during my freshman year, and that's the only time I've ever heard it until now. I'm glad to get to hear it with the lyrics finally.
