Gearbox was probably in the waaaay back corner of everyone’s minds when we all found out that Sonic Team wasn’t helming development of Samba de Amigo for the Wii. Luckily, they weren’t just handed the project, and it seems they even requested the project.
“We’re huge Samba fans. Huge Dreamcast fans. We totally told SEGA they had to let us do it. People want a Samba Wii game.”
Kotaku’s Brian Ashcraft was able to sit down with Randy Pitchford (who wears the sombrero over at Gearbox), and while no real game information was brought to the table, some insight into the game’s creation was mentioned. Specifically, how the game will control. The Nunchuk isn’t as precise with orientation and position as the Wii Remote, so what about using two Wii Remotes per player?
“It’s possible. You just need a lot of smart people who can do a lot of math.”
