Hakuna Matata .... no i am not making this shit up.





Sony will release their safari photo hunt game, Afrika, in Japan next month. Afrika wasn’t around at E3 and there aren’t any announcements about Sony publishing it in North America. The game will see get a release in Asia, but not under the same name.
Outside of Japan Afrika has been renamed Hakuna Matata. Yes, that’s the same phrase made famous by Timon and Pumbaa in the Lion King. This is interesting since Sony Computer Entertainment Asia usually uses the same marketing materials as Japan. I wonder if this is a sign that the Asian version will have English menus similar to recent first party releases like Siren: New Translation and Echochrome. Unfortunately, the page doesn’t have language details so we’ll have to wait for concrete confirmation. Also unusual is how the game is listed as "Asian Japanese Version". Games get labeled either Asian version or Japanese version. Not both.

Looks like Sony decided to compete with Microsoft on all fronts. Now it's the stupid name field.

Infinite Undiscovery and Viva Pinata, wait till you see Hakuna Matata.

I Kinda like the name Hakuna Matata.
Add's kind of a ring to it.

P.S Get ready for a Simba Easter Egg in the game :p
