With 21 songs returning from the original Dreamcast game and 23 new ones, Sega's rhythm game will have variety when it shakes into stores on September 23.

Sega recently announced the complete song list for their upcoming Wii title, Samba de Amigo. Containing a mix of songs from previous Samba games and an assortment of new ones, Samba de Amigo is set to hit stores in North America on September 23, 2008 and Europe on September 19, 2008. The only sour note is that some of the songs are covers.

Sega also reconfirmed the previously announced downloadable content but still didn't explain how it works or how much the songs will cost. It appears that the content will be sold in packs of three with the first pack coming out when the game is released in North America.

Check below for the song list.

    Man does that list suck.

    Despite the poor song selection, the game was fun enough on the Dreamcast. I'm curious to see how it will stand up to the competition now that music games are the new fad.

    That list reminds me of the Donkey Konga list
