US publication Nintendo Power gave the word that Gearbox Software (Brothers in Arms) will be working on the game. Samba de Amigo marks the first time that a Dreamcast title will be heading to Virtual Console but also spells concerns for the Wii's lack of memory. Dreamcast games came packaged on GD-Roms which could hold a fairly ample amount of space on them - space in which the Nintendo Wii cannot cater for due to a lack of hard drive.
With no official announcement from SEGA but more games to follow suite - an announcement from Nintendo regarding a hard drive add-on surely must be imminent.

Seriously though - Nintendo need to sort out a hard drive now. It doesn't need to be a huge one. 5/10gb maybe?
Hmmmmm, there isn't much to suggest that this will be a Virtual Console, or even a WiiWare download.

I am banking on this being a regular Wii game. Samba Wii Amigo, perhaps??!
Thats gotta be WiiWare - it would need to use the motion sensing duties of the Wii Remote
maybe u could hook an external hard drive up using the magic of USB technology
I think this will probably end up being a stand-alone release.
DC games were massive in terms of size, and Samba features a wide range of music tracks that would take up quite a lot of space.
There's nothing to stop Sega releasing this as a full price game - the wii controllers are perfect substitutes for the maracas the DC and arcade versions used.
This has been all but confirmed as a stand-alone Wii release.
I don't own a Wii anymore ( don't ask ) but can't you save all of your VC games on flashcards?
You can save them to the card but you can't play them from there.
