Platform: Wii
Genre: Music Rhythm
Release Date: August 19
Stop playing and start shaking with this classic rhythm game. As a crazy sombrero hat-wearing monkey, players use the Wiimotes like maracas as they rattle in time to samba-infused beats.
Why It's Hot: It's Samba De Amigo! Dreamcast owners have been clamoring for this game's re-release on the Wii since they first laid eyes on those maraca-like Wiimotes. It's undeniably a great party game, making it a natural fit for the Wii crowd, and the simple gameplay makes it the perfect mindless summertime distraction. Muay caliente!
Why It's Not: Well, it's not exactly new, now is it. Though it's been updated to work with the Wii and features new songs, it's still basically an eight-year-old game just ported to a new system. That might appeal to hardcore fans of the franchise, but the rest of us have played this gig already.
