Thread: Pokemon Snap - a brief glimpse of brilliance.

I can't speak for the rest of you, but in my honest opinion, Pokemon snap was bloody brilliant. It was fresh, new, and a great way of interacting with pokemon. Unfortunately, the game itself was way too short, and it didn't get any sequels.

Regardless, I think, since the capability is there, it should be ported to the DS. I'd like to play it again, with touchscreen capabilities. :D

Pokemon Snap! I haven't played that in years... shame really, it's an immense game. The touch screen would work great too. I can see it now, tapping Elekids with Pester Balls. The concept was great, but I think because Todd was such a short lived character it just never picked up.

Snap was a fun game, although it could have used more variety. Then again, if Snap was longer it probably *would* have had more variety in the first place. Also, a point system that rewards you for things other than getting the Pokemon to take up most of the frame would be nice. I know you can't program an asthetics-based rating system that easily, but a more complex point system would be nice.

One other thing a remake could use is the ability to go all over the map instead of being stuck on one track. Alas, a remake seems highly unlikely. :/ But who knows...

I'd prefer a sequel over a remake in this case.

Pokemon Snap DS! Hey, they can even put it for the Wii for better graphics.

(also need pokemon box DP)

Perhaps Pokemon Snap for the Wii can reward you with points and you will be able to buy merchindise and transfer it over to your DS. Hopefully it will be TMs for Grass Knot, Explosion, Stealth rock, and some Pokemon with new moves.

I think it would be neat on the Wii, just for the fact that you can aim the Wii Remote like a camera. If you were to twist it you could change the angle, etc. It could be a fairly interesting way to make it. Probably even go in a non-linear fashion and take it off the rails =P Although that did make the game fairly interesting.

I loved Snap... it'd be nice to see it in the Virtual Console, or a sequel/remake for the Wii or DS.

One thing I'd like - choosing your gender, neehee. Twistin' Wiimotes and tapping screens... I think that'd be really fun on the Wii/DS. Either way... I'd love it.

Reward Points... kind of like your score or something in the original, except to get those friggin Battle Point-exclusive TMs. I just can not afford/battle my way through those TMs! I'm so lame. XD

Why, I'd loooooooooove it. As long as there's a zoom function. If Snap was just ported, it would be horrible. A sequel is much more welcome, if you ask me.

They should make it for Wii and DS.

Yes. PLEASE.

I would love a Snap Sequel. It's certainly a game that deserves one... definitely over some of the more lackluster Pokemon spinoffs of late.

A free-roamer Snap sequel for the Wii? The ultimate spinoff win.

We must attempt to petition!

I absolutly loved that game! I would love to see a sequel or a remake for the DS.

petition sounds dope!

Someone start it...


I can already see it

with the nunchuck joystick you control the way the character is moving. With the control part you control the view/camera
(think how Timesplitters is except instead of the C-stick, it's the actual Wiimote. I assume Metroid will be/is like this)
twisting it to the right zooms in? twisting it back zooms back out
A button throws apples
B button throws pester balls

and whatever else they can throw in there with the rest of the controls...

Aye, that's a good plan, but how about actually making a throwing motion to toss the apples/pester balls?

I still LOVE playing Pokemon Snap to this day. A sequel, especially for the Wii, would just be fantastic.
