Still, one can hope that there's a bit more to it than that. What I don't get is why people are getting excited for Samba de Amigo - it's just another one of those Dreamcast games that's remembered purely for being something different, but in reality really isn't even that much above average (like Seaman). Plus, the prehipherals were prehaps the best part about it, and there's no way that the Wiimote/nunchuck combo could replicate them sufficiently. And from the sounds of it, the soundtrack is horrible. With all the other rhythm games out there, a sub-par version of Samba de Amigo is the last thing we need.
