Sounds nothing like Pokemon Snap, I already said what it sounded like and I reckon it’ll be great.

So all you haters can STFU!

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

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

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.

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.

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

Perfect.
