Have a front page? Hold it. Stop all presses while you’re at it. A Japanese retailer has posted a description of what Afrika actually is, meaning those endless, dreary dark nights of the soul are o-o-over: it’s a game where you trot in air balloons and take photographs.
Apparently, “As a photojournalist for the foot, by car, sometimes trotting air balloon… Stare hard, looking for the find… In some cases, the bent leg, throbbing heart of it.”
Double-awesome.
“Forget that when the earth and play with fun and excitement. Very SAFARI! It is also nice new place to aim at the same leisurely stop at a well. My foot, by jeep, sometimes in a balloon. Many animals unusual behavior, such as ‘AFRIKA’ variety show will look to meet, fun approach.”
SCEE doesn’t want this. Buy it from Japan anyway. Baffle yourself.

So a high-def Endless Ocean only above sea level?
Perfect.

SCEE doesn’t want it, but I bet it’ll make it to the US. I’ll wait for that rather than struggling through in Japanese.

I really hope they bother.

I can’t imagine the Japanese version being too tough to follow. If it IS anything like Endless Ocean though, you’ll be missing out on all the educational info, which is part of the fun.
I can’t help but feel that it’ll all be a bit Uncanny Valley, though. Endless Ocean’s underwater setting and the Wii’s natural fuzziness on an HDTV (plus the superb animation) meant it looked quite real – almost like a Youtube vid of Jacques Cousteau or something. That said, if they do it in 630p or whatever GTA was, that’d be spot on.

Uncanny valley doesn’t really apply to animals though..

Not in the strictest sense, but pedantry aside, I’m sure you realise what I’m getting at.
