Players would shake maraca peripheral controllers (sold separately) to the beat of the music at either high, middle, or low intervals, depending on the on-screen cues. The maracas used a sensor bar to detect height, similar to how the sensor bar on the Wii detects the motion of the remotes. So it only seems natural to port Samba de Amigo to the Wii. Does it still have what it shakes? Read on to find out:
