FUN! FUN! Animal Park launching in March, likely a localization of Waku Waku Doubutsu Land
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Last year, a game called Waku Waku Doubutsu Land launched in Japan. Developed by Nippon Columbia, the game is a compilation of 30 different mini-games. Now, a year later, it seems like the game is finally getting a localization. GameFly lists a game called “FUN! FUN! Animal Park” for a March 28th release in North America, published by Aksys. It seems likely that this is a localization of Waku Waku Doubutsu Land, as “FUN! FUN! Animal Park” would be a rough translation of that title. Hopefully we’ll get an official announcement sometime soon.
