Exploring the Dreamcast's WEIRDEST Controller

[@mysteriousbesta]

The dreamcast really was ahead, after playing sega tennis all stars and sonic and sega racing trandformed, I wonder about what Samba's game was like a lot. I really appreciate the hard work and research for the vid, you don't even know. I also never would have known you could take out the shakers.

[@jeremymklinger]

Thanks for your kind words, really glad you got some value from the video, put a lot of work into it 😁

My Two Favorite Characters of Samba de Amigo: Linda and Rio

[@jupiterjav9809]

This video aged extremely well lol.

[@KennethKaylor-k8l]

I've had this game in my Dreamcast collection with 2 sets of maracas since the US release. It was so great when it came out, and still is. Seeing somebody enjoy it in 2023 is awesome. Now I have to go play it myself.

[@Vinnystarssss]

I decided to look into Samba de Amigo after the direct and this video actually made me get the wii game I’ll just say i have been hooked for the last few weeks lol Super excited for Party Central!

[@banjoboi24]

I remember playing it on Wii back then ! I even had the bundle that included a pair of Maracas for the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, making it my first ever rhythm game. Man, what great memories...

[@PearlieRKT]

this video was so dope! adore your editing style. also love seeing deep dives into obscure rhythm games LOL, if you’re looking for more things like this with strange peripherals, i highly highly recommend taking a look into taiko no tatsujin.

[@jeremymklinger]

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll definitely consider looking at other games like this one, just hope it performs a little better tbh

[@brap7132]

Lmao they just announced a new samba de amigos game, im so fucking happy now

[@jeremymklinger]

I know! It’s sick, and what timing for this video lol

[@apellopisa]

Played this game on release back in the day and love it still. Got hyped about the new one on switch and found your great channel 👍

[@TheMaximumWarp]

Hey great video man! Just a few things I wanna add. For anyone looking to try the game out I actually recommend buying a NTSC-J version of the game. Minus shipping costs it’s generally $20-30 less than a us copy. Or if you want the best experience IMO get yourself Samba de Amigo version 2000. It’s Japanese only so there is a language barrier but it contains an extra mode and more songs. The only major hurdle would be having a Japanese Dreamcast or a code breaker but I think it’s definitely worth it.

[@jeremymklinger]

Thanks for sharing, and glad ya enjoyed the video!

[@VashVicious2]

Always appreciate a good dream cast game, thanks my guy I was always curious about this game

[@jeremymklinger]

Glad ya liked the vid 👌

[@VashVicious2]

@@jeremymklinger I'm kinda mad it doesn't have a lot of views, I'm gonna go blast some places

[@jeremymklinger]

@@VashVicious2 Yeah, I’m hoping it picks up some steam soon, would appreciate that a lot, thanks 🙏

[@mysteriousbesta]

@@VashVicious2 ill recommend it on my stream Monday, not much but it's something.

[@jeremymklinger]

Thanks a lot 👏

[@Pendoodlex]

SAMBA IS BACK

[@jeremymklinger]

WOOOOOOO

[@sunriseshell]

One of my biggest regrets in gaming was NOT buying these controllers when they were new. IIRC they sold out pretty quick, just a month or two.

[@jwill7998]

I owned it on Dreamcast, and loved it. I later purchased the Wii version, and returned it because it was unplayable.

[@chantellethecool1]

We are getting a new samba de amigo game this summer on the switch

[@jeremymklinger]

I know! It’s gonna be sick!

[@pev789]

I just ordered the maracas off eBay yes they were over 100$ but it’s not like I’m buying a house anytime soon lol

[@zomby2d]

I had Samba de Amigo on the Dreamcast, but didn't have the maracas controllers, so I ended up playing the game with the standard controller only. I feel like I missed out, but it was still fun to button mash to the rhythm of the music with these crazy colorful background aminations. I got the game again on the Wii later on, but as you noticed the controls were a bit underwhelming. I'm excited for both the upcoming Switch and VR versions, hoping for more responsive controls.

[@janinoherdeklar7779]

absolutely on point! best console...still playing:)

[@VIP-Princess]

I have no problems with the Wii version at all actually 🤔 well I only problem now is that I can't find it anymore after I moved... I am curious how well it's going to be and do on the Switch

[@zomby2d]

The Dreamcast keyboard and mouse could also be used to play Unreal Tournament. 😎

[@pokerfacelelivre]

Amazing game on Quest 3 ! 🙌😎

[@DanaNYC]

I love it on the Quest 3, so fun!

[@phillai]

The Japanese Dreamcast sequel Samba de Amigo 2000 is so much better and more fun than the original! 👍

[@drunkensailor112]

And it's been translated in english recently

[@LargeHadronAnusCollider]

Legit the gyroscopic fishing contrller for sega bass fishing is the best controller ive ever used i finished sega bass fishing recently just using my DC and the fishing controller i wish someone would remake this.

[@jeremymklinger]

I’ve used that too, I thought it was solid, I wouldn’t go that far tho

[@drunkensailor112]

You should try sega marine fishing. Sequel to sega bass

[@chellastation]

Do you plan on doing Party central?

[@jeremymklinger]

Maybe, I just don’t know how many people would watch 🤷‍♂️

[@chellastation]

@@jeremymklinger There are someone KZbinrs having fun with the game. It is totally up to you. The game looks like fun 🎉🎮

[@chellastation]

@@jeremymklinger It never hurts to experiment 🐒

[@jeremymklinger]

@@chellastation True, it does look fun, we’ll see 🤔👍

[@chellastation]

@@jeremymklinger cool 😎 👍

[@VRHex_Realities]

Must Play is Sambe De Amigo VR if you like this game: its incredible and stimulating 😂😂

[@Seaoftea]

I have a set now and they behave the same way. I also owned a set back in the day and they were imprecise then as well.

[@jeremymklinger]

Ah, good to know. I mean it makes sense, was way ahead of its time, but it works decent for what it is. Thanks for watching!

[@_thaissilva]

Waiting to see you playing SdA Party Central :)))

[@Bearcade]

Love Dreamcast and really wanna get this for it. I do have the Wii and the new one on Switch.

[@sirmoony5633]

I don't think Donkey Konga's music is bad! I think it's pretty good! Maybe it's just a "me" thing! LMAO

[@mukiex4413]

They just announced a Quest game, which might legit be the absolute first time the game actually works properly without original hardware due to the 1:1 real world tracking.

[@JonathanHarrisNews]

Mine are coming in the mail right now and I'm so excited!!! Didn't. The Saturn's analog stick exist before the N64's?

[@jeremymklinger]

That’s sick! Happy for ya, you’re gonna have a great time with it. Also, I think the Saturn controller just has a d pad

[@JonathanHarrisNews]

@JeremymKlinger Thanks man! Looking forward to it. Re: the controller, when NiGHTS Into Dreams came out in '96 it had a controller made for it that basically was the Dreamcast controller without the VMU slot. It was called the 3D controller and it had an analog pad above the d pad.

[@josephryan362]

I like samba de amigo my favourite character is the main character would like to get a Dreamcast at some point

[@Partysol]

Man i grew up with the wii version and i didn't know it had a dreamcast version

[@shinjiwolf]

I played the original on the DC when it was still relatively new, and then also years later played it on the Wii. The original was far, far superior in terms of working as intended, sure there wasn't much to do on it, but if you had a couple of friends and two sets of maracas, hours of play could be had regularly!

[@thesplatooanima8231]

The Game will now get a Version for Switch

[@jeremymklinger]

I know, it’s gonna be a banger!

[@RezapBluelion1]

Loved Samba De Amigo on my Dreamcast, the second game however is so much better than the first. Only downside was it was only a Japanese release but once I got a translation to navigate the menus it was a joy to play. Unfortunately my maracas no longer work so the Dreamcast versions have been retired. The Wii version was an instant purchase for sure and once I worked out how the control method actually worked which I settled for the two Wiimote option I had great fun with that game from then on, still play it now and then using my WiiU. Downloaded the the Switch demo for Party Central a couple of days ago and oh my it’s pretty good so far, the motion controls work a lot smoother than the Wii version that’s for sure. My pre-order is now in with Amazon. Samba De Amigo Party-To-Go is also coming to Apple Arcade on the 30th August so am quite intrigued as to how that’s going to work, will it be as fun using just a game controller on the AppleTV or using a touchscreen on the iPhone version.

[@BIRDBOI]

been playing the new one on switch and I love it, wish I could play the vr version tho :/

[@RyneMcKinney]

Who's here after Party Central got leaked

[@jeremymklinger]

HYPEEEEE

[@RyneMcKinney]

Yeah baby

[@KiloCreations]

Yeeeee

[@LampHatScott]

On the wii version, motion controls are the only option. Dreamcast version is better.

[@zacharymurray1889]

Ok
