Samba Wii to come with Maracca Wii-mote topper

Do you remember the days of pencil toppers? Begging your parents to buy a box of cereal because it came with a cool pencil topper you wanted to show off at school so you didn’t look like a nerd while answering those tough maths problems? Well now when you buy Samba De Amigo Wii you can top off your Wii Remote with your very own maracca topper.

They look exactly like the peripheral maracca’s you got with the Dreamcast game and look to add to the fun of shaking the remotes like them. My only question is: Will they hold? If you remember back to when the Wii was first released there was many news reports, images and video’s across the net and newspapers complaining about people losing grip and hurting people with the Wii remotes. So unless these maracca Wii remote heads come with something to secure them to the Wii remote, people are going to be complaining all over again that they were bopped in the head with the topper and danced a dizzy samba to the floor.
