Nintendo Switch New Pokémon Snap Game

I played Pokemon Snap on the N64 only a couple of times, but really enjoyed it back then, probably because the very concept of the game format was radically different from anything else I had played, but it was fun.It's been too long since I played the original version, and given my limited experience, I cannot make comparisons between this and the original version. The concept is still fun and original, even in today's video game environment. Ultimately, you are moving through different landscapes trying to catch the best photo you can of Pokemon in the wild, not unlike if you went on a bird-watching adventure and trying to catch birds up close and posing perfectly.The storyline is somewhat necessary, but really seemed to slow down the game. It feels like there ... MoreI played Pokemon Snap on the N64 only a couple of times, but really enjoyed it back then, probably because the very concept of the game format was radically different from anything else I had played, but it was fun.It's been too long since I played the original version, and given my limited experience, I cannot make comparisons between this and the original version.

It feels like there is more to it than is necessary to play the game. I just kept feeling like I want to skip and move on. The controls are configurable, and I'm still trying different configurations to find the one that works best for me, but some controls, like rotating around from your current position, are hyper-sensitive and hard to get just right. However, practice makes this much easier.I'm not deep enough into the game to make an overall judgement call, but so far, I have not grown bored with the game, although if you prefer titles with more action, this one probably will have you getting bored quickly.

Great throwback to my childhood. My kids love it, but were demoralized with all of the back and forth from the lab after the trips.The graphics are refreshing. Fun to see the Pokemon I love in a new light! Getting some rare shots is always exciting and it's pretty cool we can save the photos and share them to our phones.As I mentioned earlier, the back and forth from the lab is a little annoying. If you don't go back and do certain things, you won't unlock other aspects of the game. So definitely not something smaller kids like mine (6 y/o) enjoyed.However, the game is a great little treat for any Pokemon fans to just sit back, relax and enjoy the view taking some photos. Not much more to it.

I'll admit, I'm a little newer to Pokemon. I did play this game for the N64 back in the day and that was a fun game!This one starts off very similar. It's fun taking action shots as the camera is moving. Unfortunately, that's where the fun ended for me.It was a little too repetitive having to play the same level time and time again and not advancing to new parts of the board. Eventually I played the same jungle level at night so much that I ejected the game and never went back....only to later turn this in and exchange it for Mario Party Superstars.Long story short - for Pokemon completists only. Fun don't get me wrong...but too slow to want to stick with it.
