Apparently it means no worries…for the rest of your days. Well Sony, we are worried!  We still don’t know if Hakuna Matata is coming to the US and Europe!

Aye, your eyes do not deceive you.  The intriguing PS3 safari game Afrika has been renamed Hakuna Matata of Lion King fame.  We find it odd too.  As far as we know the title only stands in Asia.  What it will be called in the West and whether it will actually release here, we can only speculate.

It’s a problem free, philosophy.  Hakuna Matata.

Hakuna-Matata sounds to kiddy and really resonates with the Lion King and although the Lion King is Popular they need to distinguish themselves from the the Lion King not make people think they are buying a Disney Game.
