Sega Will Send Maracas-Waving, Samba-Loving Monkeys into Your Home
Kotaku showcased this amazingly wonderful commercial for Sega’s Wii update of the salsa/maracas game Samba de Amigo, which will undoubtedly be the greatest thing I see all day. Question?if a monkey with maracas rang your doorbell, would you 1) invite him in to party down, as this family does, and just give into the rhythm or B) slam the door closed, lock it, then hide under your bed and sob in terror? I can’t answer myself, because it would depend entirely on how much I’d been drinking.
