Pokémon Snap for the Nintendo 64 is a game about scrolling through islands, taking pictures of pocket monsters in no hurry. Everything the next sequence needs to please fans of the original is more of that with nicer graphics. I am pleased to report New Pokémon Snap that’s exactly it.
Nintendo recently held a preview event, where members of the press took a quick tour of the game and its features. We saw a Pokémon representative play at the beach level of the game twice, once during the day and once at night, to demonstrate how the selection of Pokémon has changed depending on the time of day. At the end of the race, Professor Mirror evaluates the photos taken, giving them points and giving them star values. Completionists will want to take one to four star photos of each creature they encounter. This will require throwing fruit from your automated vehicle to induce them into unique poses. You can see it all in action, from the tour to the trial and photo editing, in the video below.
That is good. That’s what I, a big fan of the original Pokémon Snap, I was waiting. Better graphics, good music, maybe a glass of wine (the game does not include wine) and a photo tour of leisure in the region of Lental and its beautiful islands.
I wanted it, we are getting it. Alive! Good visualization, Nintendo. Kudos all involved. Now, wait for the April 30 release date.
