Samba de Amigo

I think-

No, that and Samba De Amigo did very badly, like, sales-wise, but it was just-

Yeah

...

it was kinda one of those things where-

Amigo makes sense though.

Yeah, Samba De, Samba De Amigo makes sense, especially of like why not porting it to other systems.

Like that, that feels like a lot more at home for a Switch game.

Second guess from you, Benji Kong.

Samba de Amigo.

Oh, that is a very good guess, but unfortunately not a correct one.

Okay.

Uh, and, and none of it has worked.

I, I, I was specifically wanted to see if I could get Csmash VRS to work, and then I tried Samba de Amigo, which also did not work, and then Batman, which they have compatibility profiles and everything that makes it seem like it should work.

Uh, but that did not work for me at all.

So I don't know, man.

And it's worth flagging them when they happen.

In Dreamcast Magazine, Issue Number 10, right on the cover, and given a full review inside, is Samba de Amigo, made by Sonic Team.

The Japanese version is reviewed very well, and when the rhythm game is released worldwide later this year, it's met with universal acclaim.

A sequel was released in 2023.

I was gonna say, rhythm games, did we have many of those? But we'd had PaRappa by this point.

Yeah, it was the early days though, wasn't it? This was the sort of first wave of rhythm games that I remember hearing about.

I mean, I can't sit here and swear that I knew Samba de Amigo was a rhythm game.

I knew of it.

Um, there was, this would be right up your alley, Papa.

Um, Samba de Amigo maracas for the Dreamcast.

[laughs]

With, came with a mat and two maracas, um, that you had to plug in and, you know, just shake them for it was for a rhythm game, so.

I mean, there's a ton of games we can talk about, but I do want to bring up...

I will get into the big ones shortly, but I want to just quietly bring up Samba de Amigo.

Oh, that was so cool.

Which was a music game which had maracas as a peripheral.

Yeah, when did you stop drawing racist doodles, Gino?

I called it Samba de Snowman for all of our Samba de Amigo fans out there.

Samba de Amigo heads, no. It's a snowman with a large mustache, a sombrero, a bandolier, and two maracas.

He's a snowman.

Yeah.
