This week sees the release of New Pokémon Snap for the Nintendo Switch. Fans of the original Nintendo 64 game have been waiting for a sequel since 1999. As excited as many probably are to explore the Lental Region, have you ever wondered what a Game Boy Color version of this series might have looked like? Well, wonder no more - the folks over at Nintendo Wire have released a special "demake" video.
Nintendo Wire has previously created demake videos for the Smash Bros. World of Light trailer, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and even Luigi's Mansion. What do you think of the video above? Would you have played something like this on Game Boy Color? Leave a comment down below.

Honestly that's actually pretty lit. I wish it were real tho.
My only personality anymore is thinking fan demakes like this are cool.
Am I the only one tapping the phone’s screen while watching the video to advance Professor Oak’s conversation?
I was really engrossed there for a moment!
It's a lot like the sniper rifle portions in Bionic Commando: Elite Forces. https://youtu.be/aCU8OlHza7M
not gonna lie! this would be really cool!
Especially if it supported the Gameboy Camera.
But how would it look on a Tiger Handheld?
Pokemon Snap looks like a ridiculously stupid game.
@DaDebbil Why? Because it lacks violence? Not all games need violence. See it as a game where you explore pokémon in their natural habitat, like how people explore the real world and take pictures of that.
If that's not your cup of tea that's fine but that doesn't make it a stupid game. It just doesn't make it your game.
@Yosher Yup, go on and ask a question and then assume the answer. That's what all intellectuals do! /sarcasm Can't see why it would offend you, but I'm LMAO that it did. Scrabble doesn't have any violence in it either, but I love and excel at the game!
It's crazy to think, this is what a handheld Pokemon Snap could have looked like, fast forward to now and New Pokemon Snap IS what a handheld version of the game looks like! Games have come a long way over these past couple decades!
@DaDebbil Instead of LMAO like a troll, why don't you explain why the game looks stupid to you then?
Never said it offended me either, just wondering why you're assuming, like the intellectual that you apparently are, that the game is stupid.
@Yosher I don't owe you an explanation. You already made up your own answer, live with it. You don't have to say you're offended, you just need to act like you are to be labled as such. "Natural habitat" lol. They don't even exist! That's like you saying there's violence in games when violence is a real world issue with real world consequences and results. There isn't one video game in the world that contains violence, only simulated violence.
It looks pretty accurate and you can see that a lot of effort went into making it. But if it was an actual game I think it‘d be boring as hell.
@DaDebbil Can't a guy be curious? You don't owe me anything but you said you think the game looks stupid, and I ask you why. That's how discussion works. That's how communities work.
If you still don't want to answer then that's fine and I won't ask again if so, but you don't have to be so bloody hostile about it.
@Yosher There's a big difference between hostile and blunt. I happen to be the latter. We surely could have had a discussion if you hadn't opened up by telling me what I think. I'm thinking I'm not going to post anymore on this site. I've had assumptions made of me as well as had the PC police try to tell me how to speak. I guess the PC police didn't notice that most of America is sick of PC culture. One just needs to look at the drop in viewrship for the Oscar Awards to see how sick of politically correct we really are. I know you didn't go PC on me, and I'm not blaming ypu. Just venting. Kinda disappointed in this site I must say....
@DaDebbil That simply seems to be the usual case as to why I see people disliking the idea of this game so it's easy to assume. Sorry about that. But I am genuinely curious as to why you think the game looks ridiculously stupid, as you put it.
@Yosher It looks childish. I don't like children's games. Like Animal Crossing.
@DaDebbil That doesn't make it stupid though. It's called being child friendly, not childish, there's a difference there. Lots of games that are child friendly have a surprising amount of depth put into them if you would just give them a chance.
As a child I didn't play Yoshi's Island for that very reason, myself. But now as a grown up, it's one of my top favourite games because I can appreciate a game regardless of how 'childish' it looks and the game is genuinely amazing, something I could never have experienced if I stuck with my stance of 'this game is stupid because it looks too childish for me'.
Still, fair enough! The game is simply not for you. Let's leave it at that.
Honestly @Yosher you kind of came at him pretty strong
Really cool concept even if the gameplay seems slower paced and more simplistic. Would love to give it a go if it were a real thing. Glad there are people out there making content like this and I’m excited to play the new game tomorrow!
Huh, I thought it would take some more inspiration from Nicktoons Freeze Frame Frenzy from the GBA.
Anyone else remember that game?
@Divinebovine Doesn't mean he has to start acting the way he did and instead just explain why he thought it was a stupid game.
@Da_Debbil You sure like to point fingers and tell people they're not very intelligent, don't you?
Whatever. Have a good day!
Geez @Da_Debbil He didn't tell you what to think, it literally had a question mark at the end "Because it lacks violence?" Also, you have a devil as a profile screen so I mean there's that. Don't keep calling people stupid when they've tried to end the conversation on a friendly note. You could have easily just said, "I'm not a fan of childish styles but that's just my opinion" that's an easy and friendly end to a conversation that takes care of the issue. Think before you act, you don't have to act like those 13-year-olds who try to have roast competitions online while in their grandmas' basement.
@Da_Debbil I guess I'll answer all your questions in order
1. I don't care
2. The devil is associated with bad things, when I said you have a devil icon in the other post I was making a joke and if I were you now would be the part in this response where I make fun of you for not having the IQ to see that, but I'm not, so I don't care
3. laughs
4. Oh ok I'll tell you all about my personal religion I guess
That was a nice subject change btw /sarcasm
But dude honestly it doesn't matter, you just joined the site and have only made negative comments, I'm just saying that it's good to be kind and not call people stupid because if you haven't noticed, people don't like it
DaDebbil mean pokemon snap on gbc looks stupid and he is right
but on nintendo 64 and up to switch its a super game the best
