Samba De Amigo Wii Maracas get priced and dated

Samba de Amigo is barreling towards the Wii, and we all understand that it'll be a lot less exciting without the Wii Maracas. Thanks to Amazon's quick trigger finger, we now know that Sega's Wiimote accessories will go for $14.99 per pair, and if all goes to plan, they'll be shipping out on September 23rd. Of course, we'd suggest you pocket that and just craft your own wildly colored (and slightly gourd-shaped) Wiimote covers, but we understand not everyone was blessed with those DIY genes.

Luckily the wii remote can already vibrate. Very safe sex indeed then I guess.

anytime a girl plays on your wii - just put a sock over the controller and ask her "how fun is it now b!tch..."

ah Sega, how i miss thee,

Any one else like to see sega back into the console market. Doubt it will ever happen.

and the game is still amazing on the DC, an so was the so was the game with the bongo's.

If it's not Dreamcast, it's not Samba.

I think it is going to have to come with an extension cord for between the nunchuk and wiimote. Those of you who have played the game and also have a Wii now, you already know that the nunchuk and Wiimote can't be pulled far enough apart for some of the poses.

Any chance of Mariachi Band coming to the wii?

The void in my life has finally been filled.

Maraca Hero!

In career mode you work your way up to a latin band in Cuba.

Does it come with a hat made out of of fruit?

Yet.. but DOES IT SHAKE? Or uh.. make shake noises. Or.. will it blend?

Too bad SoulCal isn't on the wii - I could be even MORE like Maxi...
