Samba De Amigo Wii Detailed

Everyone's favorite Dreamcast monkey is back. Samba De Amigo is coming to a platfom made for him and his maraca shaking--the Nintendo Wii. The news broke last week or so, but now we have the official press release from SEGA with fresh details, here we are letting you know.

The Wii incarnation will utilise the Wiimote and Nunchuk controllers as the maracas. We at GirlGamers think two Wiimotes with silly maraca add-ons would have been cooler, but you can't have it all. The title is expected to release Spring 2008 and feature new songs and old favorites. We're including the full press release in the comments for your perusal, so be sure to check that out.

Wii Loved Space Channel 5

Remember 'Space Channel 5' on the Sega Dreamcast, what a superb game. There were mad characters, camp dancing and weird aliens. Don't get excited, we don't have an exclusive that it's definitely coming to the Nintendo Wii, but since Thumb Bandits podcast host Gadget Girl has been right about both Samba De Amigo and Sega Bass Fishing heading to the Nintendo Wii, we're thinking maybe she was right about Space Channel 5 as well.

Ok we're thinking and hoping, REALLY hoping she's right, because this game would be awesome on the Wii. If it does hit the Wii at some point, we hope it uses the Wiimote as a sort of dancing baton. No point in playing a dancing game, unless it has the ability to make you look like an absolute ass in front of your friends.
