New screens from upcoming wild-animal photography game Safar’Wii

safarwii

Safar’Wii, slated for release next month, seems to be along the lines of Pokémon Snap for wild animals (at least that’s how my thought process goes). Essentially, you’re given daily tasks such as “I want a photo of a lion hunting,” to which you respond by driving through the wilderness, looking for signs of animal life, and snapping said photo. Similar to Snap, you acquire items to help you get the perfect shot, and ultimately, your photos are judged and scored as Gold, Silver, or No Good. Fresh screenshots show the overall atmosphere of the game, as well as the ability to look through your film to choose the best shots to save in an album. The game is intended for children, described as having “an educative side,” and no “shocking material or violence,” so don’t go into this expecting the assignment “I want a photo of a rhinoceros mauling a family of tourists.” Check past the break for a gallery containing the new screenshots. All in all, the graphics appear decent for this sort of game, and I suspect it could be fun for the younger crowd, though reading about it just makes me want to kick back and play a little Snap.

    Safar’Wii HARDY HAR HAR

    Seriously though, I loved Pokemon Snap. It was probably the first WiiWare game I bought (I know, wrong answer, I should have said N64). I think Pokemon hold more appeal for me than an animal snapshot game, but the aforementioned lack of “rhinoceros mauling family of tourists” assignment probably has something to do with that LOL.

    I never had Snap on the N64 either, but picked it up right away on the VC. Crazy world! I too think that I’d rather just sink some more time into getting the perfect shot of Snorlax than give this elephant version a go, but I think children might enjoy it pretty well…
