Sega confirms maracas for Samba de Amigo
Sega confirms maracas for Samba de Amigo

Nintendo Wii Fanboy is reporting that there has been a leaked box cover shot of the new Wii game "Samba de Amigo", one of the classic rhythm games, and it shows off the new maracas.  What would the game be without those????

Samba de Amigo without maracas isn't quite pointless -- a sombrero-wearing monkey shaking percussion to Chumbawamba could never be pointless -- but we imagine it's less fun than it should be. That's why we were entirely unsurprised to see the adjacent boxart, complete with maracas, appear on the site of a British retailer recently.

In a fairly appalling/hilarious attempt to cover up the leak, the packaging was later removed from view, but now Sega has confirmed to Gamekyo what we all kind of knew anyway: that the game will be sold with two "maracas" when the title arrives in the States this September. Something tells us that they might just look like those on the right.
