Topic: New Pokemon Snap

@Anti-Matter D'oh! Fixed that. Darn phone keyboards are so easy to mistype with....

How can we say for sure that this is on rails? Looks pretty fun actually, looking forward to hearing more.

I think Nintendo likes putting new on everything. Like for example New Super Mario Bros. We will see how new this is. I think it’s great that they are making a new one. N64 is so old now.

@toiletduck I would say we don't know FOR SURE. But the trailer certainly looked similar to original Pokemon Snap in its smooth motion to appear at least predominately on rails, in addition to the original being entirely on rails, it seems a logical deduction.

That said, you're right. We're not certain.

I’m pretty sure the start of the trailer showed the rails it was following.

Edit* yeah go to the 37 sec mark on the trailer and you can see it’s showing the track.

Man, really played Pkmn Snap a lot back in the days. So many great memories. One of my favorite games on the N64. It was short, but fun. I hope this new title is a bit longer. It looks gorgeous.

Honestly the graphics and presentation of this game look really fantastic, but I wish it was just one part of a bigger project.

Basically every open world game includes a “photo mode” that gives you grades, so the novelty of this sort of game may have worn off. I certainly had fun with Pokémon Snap on the N64, but that was back in the day when 3D games were a new novelty.

Not sure if the concept will have quite the same appeal now, but I’m hoping for a fun time.

It's been dated now, 14th April. Sparingly quick.

The new trailer really didn't show much and the only new info is that there's 200+ Pokes in it. I'm hoping some more details come out soon.

Until which Pokemon generation from the trailer shown so far ?
My prediction was until Johto region.

@jump I see 30th April?

Taking my thoughts from another thread:

Looks pretty cool - not really anything too surprising there though. But tbh I think that's exactly what people want - just a modern Pokemon Snap.

Strange that they're going with the "New" naming convention again but...I guess it fits?

Also, interestingly, the trainer looks a lot like how I'd imagine the Let's Go Johto protagonist to look (hair, backwards cap, red jacket, complexion). Wonder if this is a coincidence or a purposeful nod to the potential for these games.

@timleon You're right, it's 30th. My bad!

I doubt there would be crossover with a new Lets Go games since it's made by different developers.

@Anti-Matter you can see multiple post gen two pokemon in the trailer like Torchic.

@jump
Correction, i saw Grookey from the screenshots so it will be until 8th Gen.

@jump That was my thought as well - but you never know. The original included Todd/Snap, who was a character in the anime.

That said, why would they have a Johto protagonist in a region that isn't Johto? Probably just a coincidence.

Looks gorgeous.

Day one purchase, without hesitation.

@jump you just end up mixing a dates, because in video below release date there is pre-order date too which of is January 14th. So in other words you pick release month and pre-order day as date in your post. So I believe you end up so just too excited and mixed up 2 dates in 1.

HOW IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME THERE ARE REAL LIFE ANIMALS?(a toucan and a deer).

Yeah, those are Pokemon. Lol. Sawsbuck is one of my top favorites. It makes me sad that people don't even recognize it.

I love what I've seen of the game so far. I have no nostalgia for the first game - I played it on the Wii U VC a couple years ago - but it's still pretty solid mechanically. It won't be Day 1, but I'll definitely be grabbing it. Seems like quite a nice game to relax with.

I'm wondering if there'll be a demo or something, since I'm on the fence about if I want to get this or not. Part of me wants to get it to see what it's about, but 60 dollars seems like a lot for a game where you just take pictures on rails. Especially one that's pretty short. Hoping for a demo.

@timleon I hate it when they call games New or Super (Super Mario Party which was far from super...) Wish it was just called Pokemon Snap 2.
