Natsume Shows Animal Kingdom Screens: We Swear This Isn’t Harvest Moon
Natsume just sent us word that they will be showing their new, quazi-Pokémon Snap adventure game for the Wii, Animal Kingdom: Wildlife Expedition at E3, a title that is, by the way, a lot classier than what European publisher Nobilis is calling their version of the game—Safar’Wii. Nice.
Natsume writes, “In Animal Kingdom: Wildlife Expedition, players take on the role of a wildlife photographer exploring the exotic and diverse wildlife of Animal Island. Each day, they’ll be tasked with completing specific assignments, such as taking pictures of particular animals, groups of animals, or animals engaged in certain actions. Players will see a variety of exotic wildlife on their expedition, including gazelles, gorillas, and elephants. Each animal is realistically detailed and behaves just like the real thing!”
Sounds pretty sweet. I liked Pokémon Snap a lot back in the day, and was bummed that Sony’s Afrika aka Hakuna Matata turned out to be kind of a disappointment. Like I said Animal Kingdom looks cut out from the same mold as those two games, and it looks like Natsume’s got a winner right here if they get the motion/camera controls down.
