"Here's how this was supposed to work," writes the Globe & Mail, "Samba de Amigo, a terrific maraca shaking, Latin music-themed rhythm game that was effectively condemned to obscurity because it had been developed solely for the doomed Dreamcast, would finally step into the limelight with a remake for Nintendo's phenomenally popular Wii system. The icing on top was that players would be able to use the Wii's own motion sensitive controllers, eliminating the need to pony up for pricey maraca peripherals.
Alas, it doesn't seem to be panning out this way. Of course, we won't know until the sales numbers roll in and gamers start lighting up forums with their thoughts, but I spent about three hours with the new Samba de Amigo on Tuesday night and came away without much in the way of warm fuzzies..."
With loads of new games on the horizon and a recent price cut, we think there's never been a better time to own a Quest 2.
You mean the price cut that isn't really a price cut. They started out with PREDATORY PRICING to kill competition. Then raised the price to stop the losses they were incurring for that low-ball price. Then lowered the price after jettisoning thousands of employees jobs and more competition on the market? Great time. Lol. The price cut is the same price they started out with.
Not only that, but most games announced are also coming to PC and PS VR 2 that will look and play much better. Yeah. And where's GTA? Lol
The Quest Gaming Showcase put Sony's PSVR 2 efforts to shame. Big reveals, new trailers and more highlighted an exciting future for Quest.
That's weird.
According to lots of people, Sony's showcase was bad because a lot of the games shown are coming to Xbox
Now suddenly the Quest Gaming Showcase was amazing, even though most of the games shown are coming to Playstation.
I don't get it.
The fact is most of the VR games shown in that showcase are coming to PSVR 2. So doesn't that mean their showcase was bad?
Trash article, trash title to get clicks. The reality, gamers don't care everything is selling good.
I guess I could look into Asgard Wrath for my Quest2.
Almost thought it said Asuras Wrath VR
Asgards Wrath is one of the best vr games ever made and 2 looks even better. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Shun Nakamura, a Game Designer and Producer at Sonic Team, recently stated that he would like to see Samba de Amigo make its way to Nintendo Switch.
Well, it is Wii . . .
wow.. i expected better from the globe and mail..
"Samba uses onscreen cues to direct players in shaking their maracas above their heads, at their wastes, and down by their knees."
I never knew you had to shake them by some garbage.. nice grammer check there buddy.. WAISTS not WASTES
though not exactly a game i wanted.. so i'm not that sad to be honest.. but also after a bit of practice i'm sure you can do all the shakes without thinking about it
