The Wii version of Samba de Amigo is something I’m looking forward to, but perhaps with less excitement than when it was announced. All reports I’ve read so far have suggested there’s work to be done with the controls, and getting this spot on is key to whether the game will succeed in a big way or be an almighty flop. I’m personally hoping there’s the option to play the game with two remotes, as I’m certain that’ll be more accurate than using the nunchuk as the left maraca. But maybe that’s just me.

Anyway, I’m in danger of wandering miles away from the point here, so to get back on track: Samba de Amigo is the first third-party title (indeed the first Wii game full stop) to carry the ‘Pay To Play’ sticker on its boxart. Which very much suggests that there will be downloadable content for the game, almost certainly in the form of new tracks to shake along to.

Hit the jump for a small pic of the boxart - the red logo on the top left is what you’re looking for.

 

And thus the HDD space argument starts up again. If Nintendo doesn’t have some kind of storage solution announcement planned for E3, a lot of people (developers included) will likely be a bit miffed, to say the least.
