![]() ![]() I really enjoyed this version as well, it looks a lot better and having a compelling story, voice acting and realism adds a whole new experience to the series that works very well. ![]() New Pokemon Snap is a game that I was very excited to play when it got announced, I had not long beat the original game and I did that over a weekend, that first game is very charming, its addictive and full of great puzzles. It's great for Pokémon fans, kids, and adults looking for a relaxing game where they can channel their inner wildlife photographer and chill out.The Soundtrack is not great in my opinion, the original game had a very simple soundtrack that worked well for the game and each section had a theme that seemed to fit in well with its environment, I feel the same here but it doesn’t quite hit the mark for me, I ironically I feel this one is a little too simple, it doesn’t quite have that Nintendo charm and none of these tracks are that memorable, its not bad by any means It’s just not for me. Still, if you were a fan of the original Pokémon Snap, there is no question that you'll love this one. There are 893 Pokémon in total - but only around 200 show up in New Pokémon Snap. Figuring out how to get them to do what you want them to will keep you playing levels over and over again.īut in the end, I just wanted more courses and Pokémon included, especially for a game released in 2021 and priced at $60. There are also a lot of new tasks to complete - the game challenges you to do things like take pictures of an Eevee playing with other Pokémon, or a sleeping Arbok, or to lure hidden mons out of the bushes with fruit. There are only a few more in the new version, but I do think each one is far more replayable because of the day and night versions, and the ability to level up the maps to see new Pokémon and behaviors. One of the main complaints about the original Pokémon Snap is that it is too short, with only seven courses. ![]() I throw a fluffruit at Cacnea, a small cactus mon that got sucked into the storm, and it gets stuck on the little guy's head spikes. At one point I see a huge tornado suck up two small Pokémon with extraordinarily bad luck, flinging them into the ground. ![]() Then there's an open desert filled with huge mountains of sand that ground-type Pokémon burrow themselves into and disappear. Clouds of butterfly Pokémon called Vivillon flutter around in the air, sporting different wing colors and patterns depending on the environment they're in.īuffalo-like Bouffalants and flying Vivillons frolic in a grassy field - come by the same spot at night and new mons will appear. As you enter one level in a park, there are herds of buffalo-like Bouffalant, scattered across a long grassy field next to a river. The game will take you through forest, island, and desert maps filled with different Pokémon that show off their adorable personalities in their natural habitats. You can also play a melody to make them dance or strike a pose, just like you could with the Poké Flute in the originalīut there are some new mechanics in the game that you unlock as you proceed - for example, a scan button that labels Pokémon near you and their location, making it easy to catch everything a level has to offer. Like the original game, you can throw apple-like fluffruit at mons to get them to make new poses or lure them out of hiding, but the original game's pester ball has been replaced with a glowing orb that you can fling at Pokémon to make them shine and pose. Many things remain unchanged from the original game - like the ability to distract Pokémon by chucking apple-like fluffruits at them. The Switch is a pretty ideal console for a new Snap, since its handheld size and motion control capabilities give it the feel of a real camera. I've seen hardcore Pokémon fans online beg for a new version for years, and when the Nintendo Switch was released the calls intensified. Other people in my generation felt the same magic I did, and the original Snap actually outsold - by a little - another classic N64 game, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, a favorite of many Zelda fans.īut it's been 22 years since the release of the original Pokémon Snap. I would play the levels over and over again to get the perfect shots and hopefully get the approval of Professor Oak, the original Pokémon Professor, who rated my photos after each level. I throw fruit at a Kangaskhan enjoying the ocean view to make it turn around for a photoshoot. As I move through the sand, I see a sleeping Snorlax on the side of the track that will wake up and start dancing if I play some music from my Pokéflute. I remember the first level, moving slowly through a beach a few Pidgey fly in front of my face so I can practice snagging some pictures.
