Samba de Amigo is technically Sonic Team. Hope this is in the right forum. But, WoW. Who would of thunk it. First NiGHTS, then Samba de Amigo. What's next, Burning Rangers sequal?

Damn. I'd love a Burning Rangers sequel.

Heh, heh! Imagine if they reinvented Ristar?

Hot off the Sega presses. Okay, so it's three weeks old already. >.> Why am I the last one to know these things?! :

SEGA Gets Shakin' With Samba De Amigo
LONDON & SAN FRANCISCO (October 25th 2007) - SEGA® Europe Ltd. and SEGA® of America, Inc. are excited to announce that they are bringing back Samba De Amigo™, the Dreamcast classic that helped to create the now-popular rhythm music genre. Created exclusively for the Wii™ home video game system, this vibrant and addictive new game lets players shake to the beats of a samba-infused soundtrack comprised of popular new songs as well as fan-favourites from the original game.

Playing as the grinning, sombrero-topped monkey, Amigo, players shake the Wii Remote™ and Nunchuk™ like maracas, in time with the visual beats of the music on-screen. The perfect party game, Samba De Amigo is packed with lively stages and a host of colourful characters. More details about this exciting new title including a full song listing as well as new special features will be revealed over the next few months.

Developed by acclaimed developer, Gearbox Software, Samba De Amigo will be exclusively available for the Wii in Spring 2008.

So it's finally confirmed. I heard that the Dreamcast version was great. The Wii-mote also seems to work well with Samba. I'm just glad, astonish actually, that they even wanted to revive the little monkey in the first place.
