Maracas – Dreamcast. 15 weirdest game controllers ever created

The Puerto Rican instrument made its way to Dreamcast, but it's definitely more fun in analog form.

Let's take a break from this festival of disappointments and have a siesta – accompanied by the maracas from Sega, released in 1999. They were extra gadgets in the box of Samba de Amigo video game developed for the Dreamcast. Their history isn't long, because their only functionality was inside that particular game. When Samba de Amigo was forgotten, the lovely maracas disappeared along with it. Interestingly, we could dance again to wonderfully polyrhythmic Latin songs a few years later, when the game received a Nintendo Wii port.
