1.8 - Ugh,so many wrong people in here;
"Hakuna M-a-t-a-t-a" are 2 Swahili WORDS which when translated to English mean "No Problem(s)" and NOT "no worries",as was falsely stated throughout the highly inaccurate Lion King series."No worries" would translate to "Hakuna M-a-t-a-t-i-z-o".

There's literally NO POSSIBILITY of Disney suing Sony because Disney DID NOT invent the Swahili LANGUAGE :|

Yes the title sounds stupid but thats not stopping me from buying the game day 1. You guys are ridiculous to write off a game just because of its name.

I'll let you know what's a lot worse than Hakuna Matata. MAG. How generic is that title? Massive Action Game. What about Hardware 2? LOL.

This must mean the Asian version has English language, so Sony do this to make sure no importers would want to get it.

There were a lot of disney-movie-based-games that were totally awesome back in the days.
I remember buying a disney game-bundle for pc with Aladdin, The Lion King and the Jungle Book, 200% awesomness.
Some of the best platformers game from Disney Interactive back in the days imo.

I agree, the Lion King game was actually pretty awesome. I don't know if a remake would be needed though. PSN makeover perhaps?

Um... You hope who will sue who and for what reason? Lawsuits do not work the way you are thinking. If I make a game called "Dynomite" does that give the producers of "Good Times" a right to sue me? I think not, mate.

Just accept it, don't make such a big deal out of a video game, and move on with life.

How are they going to get sued for naming the title "no worries" in Swahili, it's a very common phrase you know.
Just because the use the same phrase as a song title in the Lion King does'nt mean they have a copyright on it... it's like copyrighting the usage of "mañana mañana" in spanish :P

I expect to see a warthog, a meercat and a lion cub running by at some point in the game.

People could take a virtual trip and see the great nature and animals.

If they release it on PSN for a fair price it could be interesting...
