The animals are captured in expansive, free-roaming African savannas and brought back to the base for treatment and care.
In addition to the straight forward arcade style gameplay, the Wii version of the game also includes animal treatment minigames, a larger variety of missions including wildlife photography and balloon rides, co-op missions and several party games as well as fully customizable characters and vehicles.
The party games include ostrich racing, pebble skimming and the ChuChu Rocket -style 'Meerkat madness'.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Jambo! Safari: Animal Rescue for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Jambo! Safari: Animal Rescue to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2009.
