Samba de Amigo without maracas isn't quite pointless -- a sombrero-wearing monkey shaking percussion to Chumbawamba could never be pointless -- but we imagine it's less fun than it should be. That's why we were entirely unsurprised to see the adjacent boxart, complete with maracas, appear on the site of a British retailer recently. In a fairly appalling/hilarious attempt to cover up the leak, the packaging was later removed from view, but now Sega has confirmed to Gamekyo what we all kind of knew anyway: that the game will be sold with two "maracas" when the title arrives in the States this September. Something tells us that they might just look like those on the right.

The great thing about the Wiimote is that it can simulate a lot of things without the use of peripherals. Yet there's all kinds of peripherals to attach to the Wiimote...some of them useful, some of them pointless. What do the maracas really add? Plus, if the controls are Wiimote + nunchuck = two maracas, then each player only has one maraca? Doesn't that defeat the purpose?
I guess it's kinda cool, but if it's available without the maracas, and it's cheaper, then I'm going for that.
