Wild Earth: African Safari is like Regular Animal Snap


Majesco has announced another Wii game: Wild Earth: African Safari. Based on (or more likely, ported from) a PC title called Safari Photo Africa: Wild Earth, the game takes you through the Serengeti National Park as you attempt to photograph over 30 African animals. The Wii version includes a multiplayer mode which designates one player as the driver and up to three others as photographers. Of course, being a Wii game, a hilarious minigame has been added as well, which allows you to play from the animals' perspective!

December 10th: American Pokemans get shown

On December 10th, six days after the Japanese launch of Pokémon Snap, the American Virtual Console will feature the rail-photography game. To promote the release, the online Toonami Jetstream channel will show a week of Pokémon cartoon episodes featuring Todd, the protagonist of Snap who was hamfistedly crammed into the show to help sell cartridges.

Why should you care about a Pokémon spinoff game? We'll recap:
  1. It's a pretty okay game
  2. Judged against other Pokémon spinoff games, it's a freakin' masterpiece
  3. Expanded functionality allows you to share photos with Wii Friends
  4. (if you're me) More attention on Pokémon Snap could finally get the "photography game" genre going, or at least convince Hudson to let us download Photograph Boy.
So, in conclusion, Photograph Boy is a great game. What? Oh, right. The Pokemans thing is good too.
