La Sonic Team n’a pas oublié Samba de Amiigo, un jeu sorti sur Dreamcast avec des Maracas virtuelles (et carrément génial au passage) qui a eu droit à une version Nintendo Wii quelques années plus tard ! Une version pas super terrible au passage, à cause des Wiimote qui n’étaient pas vraiment adapté au jeu… Mais avec les Vibration HD des Joycons de la Nintendo Switch, avouons que l’on tiendrais là LA PLATEFORME IDEALE pour effectuer le grand retour de la licence sur console !

C’est le producteur de Sonic Force, Shun Nakamura, qui a dit cela à Eurogamer :

Speaking of the Switch, I’ve got one in my bag. There are two controllers that come off, they’ve got motion control and HD rumble. You worked on Samba de Amigo. Have you ever thought that there might be the perfect match here? We could be playing Samba de Amigo right here and right now.

Shun Nakamura: I really want to make Samba de Amigo on the Switch.

It’d be amazing. I wouldn’t have to pay quite as much money as I did for the Dreamcast version back in the day, too.

Shun Nakamura: I really, really want to make it! This is coming from someone who had to make physical items you had to buy and plug into your console in order to play Samba de Amigo at home. When the Wii came out, there was only one Wii Remote, and you had to buy another one. You could still do it, but it’s a bit of a hurdle to get over. The first time I saw the Switch, I thought oh my god – this is it! You don’t have to buy another peripheral, you don’t need to buy another controller. I’m really, really interested in that.

Well, if there’s anything we could do to help make it happen….

De mon côté, j’ai vraiment hâte de voir le jeu sur Nintendo Switch ! Je suis sûr que le buzz autour du jeu donnera des idées à SEGA…
