Japan's Playstation Home to integrate Dress N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Afrika [import]
PS3 - Afrika [import] - Japan's Playstation Home to integrate Dress In Japan (and other parts of Asia), kinder, gentler titles such as Aquanaut's Holiday, Afrika/Hakuna Matata and Dress are aimed at a demographic that marketers seem pretty sure just doesn't exist in America. (Perhaps the success of That Game Company's Flower will change their minds?). Now, Sony of Japan has posted a page announcing integration of its dress-em-up simulation Dress with Sony's Home.

Where's Afrika? National Geographic removes it from their website  N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Afrika [import]
PS3 - Afrika [import] - Where's Afrika? National Geographic removes it from their website Gamezine: After being rebranded, we thought the PlayStation 3's Afrika would be coming to our waters early this year. However, the National Geographic has removed the title from their upcoming games.

Last year we reported on the National Geographic's entrance into the video games industry by creating a new games division that would work in conjunction with companies like Namco Bandai and Sony.

One title to come from National Geographic's games division was Sony Japan's Afrika, rebranded as National Geographic: Africa. The title was confirmed to be Sony's in December of last year and included in a National Geographic press release.

National Geographic publishing Afrika in the US N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Afrika [import]
PS3 - Afrika [import] - National Geographic publishing Afrika in the US Afrika US release next month! Ps3fanboy.com writes:

Remember Afrika? It's a nature-themed PS3-exclusive photography game that met moderate success when it debuted in Japan earlier this year. An English release seemed unlikely due to the niche content of the game, but it appears the game will be making its way to American shores -- and from an unlikely source, as well.

National Geographic has picked up the rights for Afrika, rebranding it as National Geographic: Africa. It's promised to release next month -- but with potentially very little fanfare.

Proof that SCE made an english version of AFRIKA N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Afrika [import]
PS3 - Afrika [import] - Proof that SCE made an english version of AFRIKA Remember few days ago when Sony Cameras revealed at the Photokina photography fair in Cologne (Germany) through an english trailer that AFRIKA should be hitting Europe in 2009? SCE has debunked it early this week, but sure it seems that they are trying to cover it : French site LesNumeriques has captured a gameplay video during the event from the english version of AFRIKA.

Is SCE trying to cover it to surprise everyone at TGS 2008?

PS3 News from N4G | Afrika [import]
PS3 - Afrika [import] - AFRIKA coming to Europe in 2009 Play3-live reports that the information has fallen this morning at the Photokina photography fair in Cologne (Germany). Sony Cameras, present on site, have run an english trailer of the PS3 exclusive photography and safari simulation video game AFRIKA. Intrigued, journalists asked Sony why was the game shown at such a fair, and not a gaming convention. Sony Cameras replied that first of all, AFRIKA is a photography game, and second of all because the game will hit Europe in 2009.

Afrika Release Date, Price Announced N4G
PS3 News from N4G | Afrika [import]
PS3 - Afrika [import] - Afrika Release Date, Price Announced Kotaku writes: "Afrika, Sony's upcoming entry in the burgeoning savannah-wildlife-photojounalist-sim genre, has been given a final release date and price. It'll be out on August 28, and will cost ¥5980 (USD$56), which is a bit of a worry. I'd presumed this would be a neat little addition to the PSN's lineup. A different way to blow $15-$20. But that price has it pegged as a, well, proper game. And what they've shown thus far doesn't look like it has the legs/meat of a proper game at all."
