Publisher Majesco Entertainment announced the development of Wild
Earth: African Safari for Wii today. The simulation title will be based
on a PC game of the same name from developer Super X Studios.
The main focus of African Safari
will involve taking pictures of wildlife and their habitat. According
to Majesco, players will "experience accurately presented flora and
terrain from the Serengeti National Park in Africa, at different times
of day and in varied weather" as they capture images of the 30 animals
represented in the game. Collected pictures can be saved and strung together in an animated slideshow.
African Safari will feature 11 missions with primary and secondary objectives. The Wii version will sport co-operative multiplayer, so that up to four people can explore together. Also exclusive to the Wii version is a Safari Mini-Game mode, which will offer 11 mini-games played from the perspective of the animals.
Wild Earth: African Safari is planned for a Summer 2008 release.
