I really hope she has a great time playing it. It's a marvelous game.

What a lovely comment.

Your a good parent :)

Same for my son, although I’m not sure he’s as excited as me!

Damn bro she gonna remember that forever

I felt that way when I realized Mario series and I are the same age...

Yeah I was 3 when I played the original lmao

I was 8-9 back then

I remember barely being tall enough to see the screen at the Blockbuster Pokemon Snap machine, now I turn 30 at the end of this month. Oh god, I hate time. I don’t feel 30 at all, I feel like a clueless 19 year old. 😭

@@doubtful_seer haha same i’ll be 32, it’s funny cause i seen a comment saying this is how we remembered pokémon snap looking back then even though it looks so dated now 💀

Imagine Sword and Shield with these graphics. Would make the Wild Area so much better!

Best Pokémon game for graphics is colosseum and xd gale of darkness those are works of art

I just saw that, and the biggest smile spread on my face

With an apple stuck to its head too! I love that it's actually able to interact with the apple by getting it stuck! Like a proper prickly cactus.

Haha right?

@@VanitasVraz That's exactly the point of this game. To bring all the simple yet quirky charm of Pokémon up to date in today's glorious HD visuals. I actually think by only including 200 Pokémon, yet over 6 Legendary Pokémon they've condensed this game into a much more satisfying and fun-packed journey. Some of my favourite gen 5 ones are here, I couldn't be more happier! This even exceeds the original for me, despite all it's nostalgia. This is more than a worthy upgrade, it raises the bar for the series

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the Graveler rolling downhill in the Volcano area.

Lol wat!! None at all?? So I can’t knock charmander into a lava pit with an apple only to have a charizard burst out of it??!

Yeah, that sucks that this was overlooked, but ultimately it isn't that big of a deal. In essence the handful of evolution moments was just another event based picture taking opportunity, so as long as there are plenty of those, which there seem to be, it's all good.

Damn, figuring out how to evolve a Pokémon was extremely satisfying.. but yeah it doesn't make the game unplayable. Seems like there's a lot of other events to play out

Not only that at all. There are now over 200 Pokémon (more than double the original's roster of 80-ish) and while that one just had Mew as and end-game special, this sequel has over 6 Legendries! The evolutions never really were a huge pull for me in the original anyway as you meet evolutionary lines in both games. Though, yes I would rather they had not dropped them. Anyhow, you also get the most beautiful visuals in a Pokémon game ever; I find them even better than Mario Odyssey's honestly

@@netweed09 Yeah, I'm nearing the end of the game now "campaign" now, and I am completely pleased it. The star system alone more than makes up for lack of evolutions since with every Pokemon there are 4 different ways to trigger a picture type with every single one of them. That is way better, and effectively more content, than it simply being an event trigger to check one of 80 ish Pokemon off a list.

Bribery with pokemon is my kind of parenting :p

Be honest - you would have bought it anyway. For yourself.

@@RealRomplayer eventually, yeah 😛

This is so relatable we told our Nephew if he learned to potty we would buy him a tablet 🤣🤣🤣 He learned the next day.

This is one of the most wholesome and sweet comments I've ever seen on KZfaq. I hope he was super exited!

While Pokkén looks good, the support for the Switch version sadly got dropped way too early. They never addressed for example the awful customization and achievement system. Cannot say that any of the three parties involved (B-N, TPC and Nintendo) seemed to properly give the game the care it deserved.

Probably the 24 years of experience with Digimon shining through. xD

Yeah the reward system was terrible. I can care less about titles or clothes lol

Puts Sword/shield to shame.

@@PeacepiperF20 Well, it's also not like I needed every piece of clothing but the stuff was just insanely overpriced as if they had ideas to introduce real life currency conversion but got stopped from that bs move. To unlock all of the clothing one would have to play about an hour each day for four years nonstop anyways. XD The titles thing was only odd because there were a few ( I think 1 to 3) that nobody knew how to unlock, not even customer service. Nintendo directs you to the Pokémon folks who direct you to BandaiNamco who then directs you back to Nintendo. Had fun playing through Pokkén and leveled every fighter to 100, only thing that has been impossible for me to get were 2 draws. I always either win or lose a match. That two Pokémon knock each other out happens pretty much never. Even with two players cooperating I couldn't make it happen. Also while the DLC fighters were fun to play with, for their price there should have been at least two more Pokémon.

Must suck low key 😂.

Bro my 2 daughters are into it too pokemon is timeless

That sounds really sweet. I hope both of you enjoy the game

That's awesome! Hope you have a lot fun playing together!

Hope you both love the game!

I like how the millennial mother recognizes Torchic lol

A VR mode would be amazing

That will be the eventual Pokemon Snap 3 in 10-20 years. Hopefully by then, gaming will be like Ready Player One. Despite how people feel about the movie, you can’t deny that the Oasis is what we wish we had now.

Yeah Labo should jump on this with their camera.

I'm sure in the next 3 years some talented modders will make it possible. Yuzu and Ryujinx are already really great, so the first step is already done. Someone just needs to get it to render properly stereoscopically (harder than it sounds) and map the headset gyro to the controller gyro input. It wouldn't be as good as a native implementation with head and hand tracking but it would be enough to give the illusion of 3D depth and probably look great.

I really want a full-on immersive pokemon mainline game that has VR. It would be amazing

The fact that there were only a handful just made that feature stand out even more. It was one of the coolest aspects of the game. It was uniquely “Pokémon”.

@@denimchicken104 yeah I’m pretty bummed there aren’t any evolutions, they were one of the coolest things about the original

Triggering an evolution aside, the game looks great. I will miss having the ability to knock a better rendered Charmeleon into a volcano, but seeing what more they added, I can take the loss.

@@denimchicken104 It's not exactly a feature on it's own though. The evolutions were just event triggers like any other, really. And as long as there are plenty of events to trigger special picture taking moments, it's basically the same thing.

@@Xynth22 I disagree

There are loads of situations you can create. Lots of Pokémon only appear later in the stage if you do certain things at the beginning.

An hd remake of pokemon colosseum would be pretty awesome ngl. That was my first pokemon game ever

If you mean a "filler game" that's made by another company quick while waiting for the next mainline game, then sure, but as the next "great 3D battle simulator", it should be incorporated in the core games, and not be separated as a selling point.

I'd cry from happiness!!

@@zjzr08 I think you mistook Colosseum and Stadium. Colosseum was the first console RPG, followed by XD: Gale of Darkness. Stadium is the 3D Battle Sim.

@@DarkLink1996. Yeah I know that, that's what I was implying in the first part (although Collosseum and XD's length was pretty subtantial, from what I saw)...if that's the case, the mainline games should've been the "New Collosseum" because Colloseum has the same battle mechanics as the GBA games, just tweaked capture mechanics. Although if a return to Orre, or a remake, well that could be great, although not sure if Genius Sonority can still make console.

Is that torchick?

Surely that's a Snorlax

I didn't get it tbh 😅

Jon’s so funny.

@@tristanneal9552 A whole generation of gamers passed since the first Pokemon Snap. So the kids who were showing their parents pictures back then our parents themselves now and actually know a Pokemon outside of Pikachu and Charizard.

This is a massive oversight as far as I’m concerned. I’m willing to accept it if this game merely serves as a jumping-off point and they either make a sequel in a few years that addresses it it, or we get DLC that does.

To be fair, a lot of reviewers are saying 'mostly' absent. I'm interpreting that as the possibility for evolutions in small amounts. Even the original only had 5-6 to my knowledge.

@@chemix4314 original had more than 5-6, but the quantity is beside the point. It was a major highlight of the game.

@@denimchicken104 Well maybe new snap is simply focusing on other aspects. It's disappointing but I think it was done for a reason.

@@kirin1230 it must’ve been done for a reason, otherwise it’s just amateurish. Still disappointing. It’s not a complicated feat to include 2 or 3 Pokémon on each level that can be evolved. It was only slightly more involved than the usual process.

IGN not understanding a game they’re reviewing?! *GASP* Say it ain’t so! 😩

IGN is the only company that hires morons, which in 2021 is super woke

@@bilskibrandon are you forgetting EA and that company that hired the guy who couldn’t beat the cuphead tutorial

I watched the IGN review, can you point out when she said she didn’t understand the star system? She explains that each star represents a different pose, but that it can be difficult figuring out what poses or actions are needed.

@@AshenDust_ lol I did forget about that. Thanks for reminding me.

Hell, give them free reign to make a new one. Can't be worse than whatever it is that Game Freak think they're doing.

If they can't delay the game because of the franchise's deadline, it will have the same issue as Game Freak. Not to mention New Snap is just this good in animations and such because it has the rail to not let the player walk freely. No game company can make a miracle, I believe the problem in the mainline is way deeper.

@@mrcombustiblelemon2902 Given the same kind of ridiculous deadlines that Game Freak gets I don't think Bandai could do better. They need to do what other yearly franchises have been doing for years: alternate mainline games between studios so that each individual studio has more time to work on their game while still having the advantages for the publisher of releasing yearly.

Bandai Namco + Game Freak collab is what we need like how Nintendo + Monolith Soft teamed up for Zelda BoTw - that way the core concepts of Pokemon are kept but the presentation could be vastly improved and will have the necessary people for the job, although problems like difficulty, forced Exp and railroading may need a change of game directors.

@@NMe1984 Bandai Namco apparently had a tight deadline themselves too and much smaller budget, IMO they are just a more efficient and seemingly more competent team.

Wait what. I want to see it

Same 😂

@@DarthRaichu he shows it in the video! Let's be honest though, ballon pikachu was the hardest😅

@@chandlertillett9736 you have to knock down balloon pikachu to get them flying on articuno

Yup, i get so damn giddy whenever I see gameplay too !

I did watch, but I get your point. This is kind of game you totally want to go in blind for the suprise of the moments.

That requires time. Which the Pokémon company international doesnt allow for gamefreak cause money

Yeah time is the key factor, and the holy shit amount of pokemon that they have to re animate, how many is it now? Stopped counting after black and white

@@dukemon6163 thank you, I’ll check that out.

why did he leave gamexplain

Same here

ya me too.

yep yep

Agreed. Not something I’d buy, but damn does it look great. Can’t believe Bandai Namco made it, though. That surprised me.

@@Technonova323 i mean its not that surprising. Bandai Namco worked on games like a little nightmare and Pokken Tournament, Pokken has the most detailed pokemon models in the whole franchise. you can even see Lucarios fur texture in those games!

PatrickKun 20+ years is a long time to wait for a second game in a fan favorite series. It is the only thing on my radar at the moment even if it does seem like it will not be a very lengthy game.

@@gamersinger5118 so true man. But what I'm thinking is old pokemon snap has so much replay value that this one must be much much more so. And there will probably be DCL later on haha

@@PatrickKun DLC is possible. No idea if that is their plan though. Probably going to have to do with how many units they can actually sell.

$60 photo mode the game got you excited, wow?

@@zZiL341yRj736 Long time to wait for a new Pokemon Snap. It has been about 22 years. Old fans of the series have a lot to be excited about even if it seems to have such a limited appeal.

I know right? We could make some apple pie with those apples. Lol

Think of all the Pokemon who will eat the apples once your gone. They'll make their own apple pie.

@@kirin1230 or just have the apples just the way they are for dessert. 😊

"Why are you wasting all those apples? There are Pokémon in Africa who could have eaten these!"

@@RealRomplayer well, they're not really apples...they're known as Fluff fruit. Ah, screw it---they're apples. (Can't really copyright oranges since orange is known to describe various things) I gotta imagine that buggy with all those apples since you never run out of them.

Agreed my friend. Agreed.

I feel like I want to dust my 64 and play that before this

Same this is also going to be my first Pokémon game I just have never got into it.

@@averyhyra7320 if it’s anything like the first one, it will bleed more charm than any game you’ve played in a while

@@averyhyra7320 same This will be my first Pokémon game

A weird introduction to be sure. I loved the original Snap and it remains one of my favorite N64 titles. This new one looks like it has just as much life in it as the original and that's awesome.

The original is my favorite n64 game

Really, if you considered a $60 photo mode the game, fun.

Fire up the emulator and play the original it's better you get evolutions this new one you don't

@@Ziyoblader there were only a few evolutions and compared to everything else they were hurt something that you could do

@@gemstonepheonix9522 I'll probably pick up the game for around 35 on eBay hopefully they'll add some more stuff to the game through DLC I was talking to my brother-in-law and my sister that have recently bought the game overall they enjoy it but they are a bit bummed out about the evolution thing and one thing they told me that I didn't know was that the apples don't really do much impact as they used to in the first game when the first game you can knock out a Meowth where this one they're kind of just gently bounce off the Pokemon they said it felt more like oh no we can't hurt the Pokemon make the animation more kiddish was their words I really hope it's not like that when I do get the game but I guess I could live with it I always did like messing around with the Pokemon making them trip and fall

Agreed. I guess he wasn't allowed to discuss much of the later game? I do hope there's at least 15 hours on a regular playthrough, excluding 100%. My main concern is content. Let's both hope we don't need to worry.

Neither can I. The way one of them ran to the fruit was so adorable. It's like saying, "ooh, free fruit! It's mine, all mine!" Another pokemon that stole my heart was a Dedenne that curled its tail around the fruit that was thrown to it, and nibbled away at it. So cute.

I hope Rule of Thirds plays a part. That's a core concept in Photography.

@@blutwilight That's exactly why I asked!

There are a few reviews out dude, and all positive

Yeah like seems you can get bored quickly and doesn't have a lot for it besides taking screen shots

I think pokemon colleseum was a better spin off than its predecessor.

Explorers of Sky - Am I the entire circus to you?

Nothing wrong it bud. "Adult"/ "Children" games have no value at all. Many children play adult games (Such as COD) while we adults can enjoy kids games such Pokemon. I'm going to buy this game too. On my next income. I spent my budget for this month on Nier Replicant.
