SEGA Racing Games - You Don't Just Play at Steering, You Live It

[Mystic Monkey]

Switch still got many SEGA exclusives games so for me it's still definitely worth it.







Not to mention all those arcade-perfect SEGA AGES titles.
Columns II, Shinobi, and Phantasy Star with auto map function were so much fun.



That's the old Switch though.
But Switch 2? Not so much.
So far I'm not interested in getting one.

I imagine sooner or late, Samba de Amigo: Party Central will get a PC release.

I doubt it.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble might, but not Samba Amigo: Party Central.
One of its charm point is playing with joycons as maracas, that charm would be lost on PC.

Well, they could give it a VR release.
Either that or let it be played with regular controller. Given controllers these days have twin dual sticks, it's possible.

That's a very limited market, SEGA themselves wouldn't waste their resource for that.
And I doubt third parties would pick this since to get the right for all these songs again would be lisencing nightmares.

Damn, that seems a bit unfair to Samba de Amigo. He can't really have a successful market if his games are too limited and specific for multiplatform.

Yeah, unless they started making spin-off that has a different genre, Amigo and friends would be stucked because of their uniqueness.

I believe the only way I can imagine a standard console release of Samba de Amigo is the use of the analogue sticks. Controllers these days have two of 'em so they can be tilt in the rhythm.

But the original Dreamcast Samba de Amigo could be played with the standard Dreamcast controller, can't they do that?

"I'm cooler Sonic."

Yeah, but it wasn't as fun compared to the original controls.
It's like playing Just Dance with buttons or ... playing wii game but without wiimote?

Also did you know that it also came out on Meta Quest?



It's probably the closest thing to its original control but still somehow as not as fun as using joycons.

"I'm cooler Sonic."

Shadow fans when they're watching that dialogue ...

Also, congrats to Oscar Piastri on getting 2nd Place!
Him and Lando both played Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds which was shared online which you might have seen!
