IGN (ign.com) has posted the second Developer Diary for the upcoming rhythm game Samba de Amigo. Check it out:
SEGA's Samba de Amigo is set to ship for Wii in late September. The colorful music title has been in development by Gearbox Software for a long time. Below, Gearbox's community manager, Allison Berryman, takes us through the development process:
A Fresh Look
Samba de Amigo for the Wii is much more than just a port of the Dreamcast original. After spending countless hours shaking maracas to the original Samba and the Japanese-only Ver. 2000 (a follow-up game that added several new features and songs), the team enjoyed some well-deserved arm resting and sat down to plan. "We built a giant wishlist of features we wanted to add based on the opinions of our team and original Samba players," describes Tom Mustaine, Producer on the project. "We then worked with Sega to determine which features would be the best for the game and came up with a list that felt good." It must have been an enormous list, because the amount of features that ended up in the game is impressive!
