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.

Well... damn. My Oculus Rift S no longer works and I have sneaking suspicion Meta could possibly sent a "sabotage update" to all Oculus users in order to shoehorn them into buying MetaQuest VRs. Which is why instead of buying a Meta Quest, I'm waiting to buy the next VALVe VR headset.
But if Samba de Amigo won't be on Steam VR, I'm boned.

I wonder if Busted will do an official music video? Like they did with Thunderbirds.

"sabotage update" in order to shoehorn them into buying the newest version?
That looks like something Apple would do.

I don't think so since this is more James Bourne alone, not the entire members of Busted.

dunno about Apple, but wouldn't pass it by Zuckerberg.

I don't think so since this is more James Bourne alone, not the entire members of Busted.

Oh well. Music video would be cool.

SEGA boss wants to revive the SEGA spirit of the 80s and 90s

Speaking to The Game Business Mr. Utsumi said he wants SEGA to cover all bases going forward and have software for everyone, “I’d really like to revive that SEGA spirit. Sometime around 2000, even around the 1980s, we were regarded as a very cultural company. If you compare it to the music industry, I believe SEGA brings rock and roll.
