Sega Nerds

Samba De Amigo could be Wii’s first Pay to Play title

by Chris on May 6th, 2008

samba-paytoplay.jpgSega was the first third-party publisher to bring Xbox 360 and PC owners together with Universe at War. And it looks like the company is once again breaking boundaries as it appears Samba De Amigo could be the Nintendo Wii’s first Pay to Play title as Gamestop posted the game’s box art on its website, complete with the progam’s logo in the upper left-hand corner.

Nintendo announced its Pay to Play program at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference - a program that will bring microtransactions, downloadable content and possibly subscription services to the Wii.

Our obvious guess is Sega will offer up additional songs, characters and outfits that Sega Nerds will surely eat up, but it will be interesting to see if the developer goes a step beyond by offering up new gameplay modes or possibly online play to really increase the game’s longevity.

3 opinions for Samba De Amigo could be Wii’s first Pay to Play title

    Im actually excited about this title. But it’s cultural mistakes are kind of a turn off for me. I guess I’ll start thinking of Japanese people as the Chinese from now on lol.

    But it looks fun!

    I think if Wii’s going to start all this DLC, they should make an external hard drive.

    Sounds like a good idea. New songs, modes, characters and outfits to make the game last longer sounds fine.

    Can’t wait for Samba de Amigo (Wii)!
