Here at Joystiq, we've been pretty consistent in our hatred of useless plastic attachments for the Wii Remote. We might have to break our streak, though, as we're uncharacteristically excited about the maraca attachments that were recently shown as part of the leaked box art for the Wii version of Samba de Amigo. There's just something about the weight and sound of those vibrating plastic beads that helped make the maraca shaking on the Dreamcast a transcendent experience, and one we're glad we'll now be able to relive on the Wii. We're not changing our minds on the Wii Wheel, though. We have to keep our hater-rating up somehow ...Leaked box art shows maraca attachments for Samba de Amigo

Bundle this with a Wii and Sports and this would sell.
I'm interested.

This is what previews are for, my friend.
The game does allow you to use the nun chuck, but then you can't use the shells, of course.

I have played different games, and the only that had the motion sensing calibrated well enough was Wario Ware...many third party have had problems with them, including Ready at Dawn...so I wouldn't hold me breath on that...
