It's oddly fascinating when young gamers get given a retro game to play, which helps to partly explain the huge success of the REACT channel. Yes, it covers people of all ages reacting to all manner of things, but when you hand a kid a retro controller the results can be - in their way - educational.
The latest episode has youngsters tackling the Nintendo 64 cult classic, Pokémon Snap, a spin-off concept that likely has little market potential on home consoles in the modern era but is continually included on 'Pokémon sequels we want to see' lists. For starters, some of the kids aren't sure how to hold the N64 controller or where the Z button is, giving some evidence that it is indeed a weird pad. Then there's the game itself, which some have fun with while others are clearly unimpressed with anything older than a Wii.
There are some entertaining moments in any case, so check it out below.

I love Pokemon Snap! That is, loved as a child. I could never play that now!
I actually just finished watching this, and it was pretty interesting to say the least. I wouldn't mind them making another Pokemon Snap to be honest.
I cringed every time I heard "Poke-ee-mon"....
Do you guys have a deal with this channel or something?
@TeeJay
There's no disclaimer, so I'm pretty sure the answer is no.
In any case, if this WASN'T reported on, they'd be getting hundreds of "tips" through email or spam through other comment sections about how there's a Kids React to Pokemon Snap.
I actually liked this game, granted the 'cute' factor. It was entertaining, even though really short. Other than that, it was a very fun title that I even re-bought on the Wii Channel and hoping that it comes on the Wii U E-Shop soon. I wouldn't even mind a sequel.
Hahah! Evan's got that old-school skill! B)
Pokémon Snap's retro now??? God I feel old (•_•)
...I randomly decided to go watch PBG's video on this game after watching this. xD

...why game freak...why won't you make this for WiiU?
That's the first time I've heard Pokemon Snap called 'HARD'
(Kid) "I didn't expect a game on such an old console to be fun" -.- Really............. obviously kids think old=bad new=good.
Fun to watch them react to those scores. Cmon nintendo, make a 2nd one!!!
Wii-u would be best, but even 3ds would work.

Some of these kids don't understand the concept of a spinoff.
But yeah, they do have a couple of good points about the N64 controller and the controls being a little off, but aside from that they're all just terrible at the game.
Darn that blasted N64 controller
@Cestius Adults tend to do that too. And the kid admitted they were wrong pretty quickly.
I loved the reactions to the controller myself. The N64 controller is the ultimate mixed bag of controllers IMO.
Snapping mew - that's where it's at
I have so many fond memories of playing Pokemon Snap as a kid. I can remember the very first time I caught Mew on camera, and it was one of the best moments I had in that game along with seeing Articuno. I'm proud to say I still have the original cartridge and system in my house, so if I ever want to experience this game again, I'll always have that chance.
Nowadays, the game doesn't have all of it's original features. I remember going down to Blockbuster to print out stickers with my favorite shots of Charizard. Good times.
Good to know kids still enjoy these old games. I'm feeling like a grampa now.

I remember being so mad when I realized not all Pokemon were in the game! Nevertheless, I played the heck out of it and still have the Pokemon yo-yo that came with the game when you pre-ordered it from K B Toys. I'm with everyone else though; this game was made to be ported to the Wii U or 3DS.
Cool, yet another video of kids dissing classic games.
This is one of those games that I wasn't alive when it came out, but I want to play it, but I refuse to watch any videos on the game. I wish GameFreak would stop being such a weenie and put Pokemon in the Virtual Console lineup. Both spinoffs and main games. Who doesn't want to play Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal on the 3DS, with Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, LeafGreen, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Heartgold, Soulsilver, Black and White (GAAAAAAAAASP) on the Wii U? The Card Game and Puzzle Challenge are on the 3DS, and Pinball is on the Wii U. Where's Snap and Puzzle League? Just don't put B2 and W2. Those games SUCKED. Grabs Popcorn
Those kids are so cute!
This game, so many good memories. I thought it was a simple spin off of just taking pictures of pokemon, but it was a great game that was put together. Still one of my favorites. And taking it to blockbuster to get the prints, the feels.
It was a surprisingly good game when it released
Why why why has Nintendo refused to make Pokemon Snap 2 for Wii U? The gamepad is perfect for this game
I let my little nephew play with my DS LITE whenever I babysit him cause I don't want him to accidentally break my 2DS or 3DS XL and OMG he is just loving all those older games so much!
Pokémon Snap 2 for Wii U. That's what my gamepad needs!
Yes they must make a new one!
this proves that games just need to be fun!
ugh two of those girls are so freaking annoying specially the swag one >.>
but yeah many ppl have asked for a sequel to this game easy money right there yet nintendo never seems to listen :/
@WaddleDeeWeegee "Who doesn't want to play Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow"
People with taste.
