I gotta say, SEGA used to have a lot of soul in their games. Whether they were ever popular, or well received, they usually had this vibrant, cartoony quality to them that you couldn't mistake as anyone's style but SEGA's. Monkey Ball, Billy Hatcher, and Samba de Amigo are all prime examples. They put their all into making the games seem goofy and fun, and they usually turned out alright in the end, too. I never grew up with SEGA, but if modern SEGA was more like this, I'd be an avid fan.
@SonicMagic The Hegdehog At the moment it seems they’re actually trying to expand their horizons again. They’ve been pretty supportive of the Yakuza series, they’re making a new Sakura Wars, they released Streets of Rage 4 a while back, Phantasy Star Online 2 got an American release earlier this year, they’re making a new Panzer Dragoon. Really, it seems they’ve only given up on Sonic, which is the right choice in my opinion. However, it seems they aren’t trying to appeal to America at all, just focusing on Japan, so Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, And Nights are still dead. Bummer.
I just realized that each console manufacturer has their own rhythm game. Sega has Samba De Amigo, Sony has Parappa the Rapper, Xbox has guitar hero, and Nintendo has Rhythm Heaven.
He needs to at least have some recognition in Ultimate A Spirit set of the main cast (Samba, Linda, Rio, Monkey Girl, Bingo, Bongo and the Cheetahs) or maybe a Mii costume of the Fighter would work best for his series though since its a very smaller, less known brand. Maybe if Samba gets a Switch port of some kind, he might have a small chance, but until then I can only see spirits or mii costume for this funky monkey
Maybe not as a fighter but I certainly think he should have some sort of recognition. Like a mii costume and maybe even give him the sans treatment with adding the games main theme along with him. I certainly think robotnic/eggman should be a fighter as most of the main heros have their rivals/enemies in the game except sonic.

EDIT: WE DID IT GAMERS!!!!!! It the case of Samba, I love him and his series as a concept. The title screen really characterized the games colorful and cooky cast and the song makes you say "omg its my childhood all over" But in gameplay standards, I wouldve expected a scenery that is more...ehhh....spaced? I like the area, but honestly its so crowded in a small space and also character movements are extremely awkward sometimes (Especially with Linda the butterfly performer..wtf is that dance?) He really was just tossed into Sega side games with AiAi and just left to wither. You probably only remember him from the Tennis or Racing game. Which is why I'm begging Nintendo to at least think about putting Samba on Switch with at least a port. The idea is so easy, the Joycons can be Maracas (which could both be easy to do and also a good way to maybe make maraca patterned joycons to sell) and the game could have its chance to be a masterpiece in 2020 graphics Here's to Samba and hoping his series at least gets remembered
Tbh, it seems kinda lazy. The best thing is the fsct that they adapted the imput to the non-height-sensing Wii controls (by instead using the controllers' angles) and the 2D graphics and 3D models were touched up, but...there's still so much that's directly lifted from the Dreamcast games regardless of how well it aged - especially the animations, staging, and blocking. It's another example of the Yooka-Laylee problem, staying _so_ true to the original that it just feels dated even while it's fresh.
That would very much take away from the style of *Samba de Amigo and Sega's style for how the game is played. It was never intended to be a dancing game, but a rhythm game where you put the balls into the holes rhythmically.
@@milgrauuu9275 Ainda não entendi porque fizeram essa mistura Um jogo com música de abertura e nome brasileiro mas com gameplay e personagens mais pra mexicanos que brasileiros. Miraram no Brasil e acertaram no México
And in my opinion, Samba de Amigo is better than FNF. It has a bright theme, lovable characters, great music and everything. Atleast Amigo has actual music, not a bunch of shitty mid. Even though the characters has no voices, their personality is better to say the least. Their not edgy, they don't have that >:) face (only exception is Rio, Chumba and Wamba) and they just want to have fun, not to start a fight.
It's definitely possible. I've seen games get remasters and sequels 10-20 years after their last main title, so this one might get something on the switch The creator has apparently shown interest in making a new title, so only time will tell
if they turn it into a decent platformer or something instead of a mediocre rhythm game, then yeah. i just cant see this same game being popular in any sense nowadays, especially since rhythm games have fallen off SO hard in the past decade. almost nobody plays them anymore. the most popular rhythm games right now are like Osu! and Guitar Hero and neither of those communities are substantial enough for an executive to risk greenlighting another Samba de Amigo game lmfao its just not happening
In the 3ds rhythm game (made by sega) “Rhythm Thief” there’s a stage which is a reference to this game. The rhythm minigame is this game’s gameplay gimmick.
holy hell, dude for years i always thought me remembering someone going "sega, heheh" was just me misremembering (i usually attribute that sega logo to sonic unleashed) but seeing this video finally showed me what i assumed to have misremembered for years.
@@stevengruner4885 The wii remake was pretty good imo, but messed up on hard/superhard It's probably the best use of motion controls and rhythm on the wii, but thats not saying much considering all of its contenders are low budget garbage
0:43 Rio (the cheetah girl-like guy) broke his character in this scene. Edit: what i meant is that Rio has this showoff like personality that he always carries throughout the game, and this part of the intro is where he broke it and started crying with Amigo and Linda.
I PLAYED TJOS GAME AS A KID- IT WAS SO FUN ❤❤❤❤❤ (I’m not a bot, but I just wanted to express my nostalgia of being six in 2011 and playing this game ;w;)
I loved between Linda and Rio the better. I played Samba de Amigo on my regular Nintendo Wii if only Miss Linda and Lady Rio could be playable characters by the next game of Sega Superstars series on Nintendo Wii U, Playstation 4, Xbox One, even PS Vita. I beat Linda and Rio on the game of volleyball on my regular Wii. I really loved this game if only Linda and Rio could be playable characters on the next game of Sega Superstars series on Wii U, Playstation 4, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PS Vita. I hoped you enjoyed the game of Samba de Amigo, okay? Jimmy Kielbasa out.
