Samba de Amigo trailer features actual chimp

Smelchekr faylur!

Is it even legal to have chimps in adverts any more? Didn’t PG Tips have to stop it?

Pity there ain’t a wrist strap that will stop him throwing faeces at the telly.

All videogame ads should have chimps in them.

That is truly stunning.

Some thoughts:

Are the wiimotes going to be as accurate as the maracas in registering hits? Something tells me it could end up a little woolly.

There is just no way wiimotes are as much fun as the propery maracas with the beads inside, I have them at home and they are definitely half the fun. You don’t look or sound anywhere near as stupid waving the tiny wiimotes around.

Advert is win tho.

Smelchekr faylur!

The CVG one’s better – “contains real a chimp”

I really should try and get some proofreading work one of these days, pedantic git that I am.

@Chinster – Sega is working with a third-party to provide remote shells. The Wiimote speaker makes the maraca sound.

I’ve not played it myself, but apparently the controls work surprisingly well. I do imagine it would work far better with two remotes than one and a nunchuk, though.

Cheers. SDA is one hell of a smile inducing game I have to say.

Best game ad ever.

I think I just strained something.

Why does the chimp appear to be the only one who’s actually having any real fun, though?

That advert is so appallingly crass and low-brow it actually comes out the other side and ends up being a post-modern intellectual masterpiece.

Do they include a chimp with the game?

“@Chinster – Sega is working with a third-party to provide remote shells. The Wiimote speaker makes the maraca sound.”

Whoo hoo! That’s excellent! I’m glad we’re not getting a less sweet deal than the chimp – why should he be the only one that gets to play Samba with maracas?! Even the game’s logo includes them, for goodness sake!
