Play the Samba De Amigo online mini game now

In celebration of the upcoming Samba De Amigo, on the Wii, Sega Europe has put up this rather funky little mini game for all to play online.
Best of all, they have let us embed the game here on Sega Nerds (well the option is there for everyone, not just us). The game is just a little taster of the rhythm-based fun to expect from the real console game.
As the embedded game auto-plays, I have put it after the break, to preserve the sanity of visitors to the site. But I encourage everyone to give it a try, it’s a lot of fun.Â
You play the game using the keyboard, it feels a little weird at first, but you should get used to it. I got myself into 3rd place on the score board with my first go! And when you do well, you get some free Samba icons to download, which is nice.
Also, I would encourage everyone to play the game, just for the brilliant opening advert for the game. You gotta love monkeys in adverts, don’t think I have seen any since the PG Tips Monkey Family :o).
If, for some reason, the mini game isn’t working here you can play it on the official site.

I posted this on Hi5, but in the wrong section.
I’m trying to get it removed.

That was extremely hard to start off with then became a lot of fun after my third go. I guess this one game where you need to learn the songs a few times through and figure out the rhythms before you can get any good at it.
I certainly wanna play the Wii game now.
I’m currently top on Normal mode (which i found easier than the easy song, actually). And with that i announce my retirement from Samba De mini-game online championship. :D

It starts off quite difficult especially using the keyboard but after my fourth or fifth try on the same song i got into the rhythm and actually managed to get on the board. Funky.
I actually enjoyed this game once i got into it, it’s well fun. I guess it’s just a case of learning the song patterns after a few goes.
Can’t wait for the Wii version. ^_^
I also came 1st place on Normal mode (which i found to be easier than the easy mode, lol) and with that i announce my retirement from Samba De Amigo Mini-Game Online. :D

Oh shoes! Thats why it was so hard I was playing with out speakers on lol… On.. a Samba game… I’m losing the plot.
Anyway, my high score is under Sharky… I’ll give it a better shot later.
(high score was 7400 on normal)

I find the game rather easy and small glitchs here and there, but barely noticeable and very fun.
Three songs, bright colors and that dumb trailer all rolled into one. Plus small free crap for winning.
Its like those toy quarter machines with a small game between you and that badly made plastic jumping frog toy.
Very smart of SEGA to do an advert like this and have it easy to spread. The game’s sales should see a good boost cause of this.
If you like any of it you’ll like the real game.
Finaly my chance of getting a copy of the game.
Missed so many good games back in the Dreamcast days. They just went too fast and were too hard to find.
You know, one could get one of those PC to Dreamcast adapters and use the old DC maracas with something like Joy2key or glovePie and play this demo with those xD
Or just use a gamepad, but thats just lazy.
Hmm, I hope the game has the not so needed gamecube and classic controller support. For some of those anti wagglers.

After a while I start to hear “Poop it! Poop it! Poop it! Poop it! Poop it! Poop it! Poop it! Poop it!”
