I liked the on-rails aspect. It made getting the timing of your shots, and deciding how to interact with each Pokemon, important. An open-world game might take that away.

Yup, the original game was about understanding them and going back over and over for the best shot. I feel this could be reproduced with the day cycle. You wouldn't get right back into it like Snap but it would make that second attempt even more tense.

Wait, I changed my mind. I want those stickers!

What I am thinking is you have a day/night cycle, but you also learn over time that Pokemon species behave differently, and you use this to your advantage to gain new or better shots. It's a lot deeper than the system that was present in the first. Once you learned the secret, it's the same thing every time you play. This way, something different can always happen. That isn't to say the first wasn't fun, but this seems like something a proper sequel, coming more than 12 years later, should accomplish.

This is the kind of game that only benefits from a sequel if it's ambitious.

I really enjoyed Pokemon Snap.

I think that's the problem, or well... not "problem", but the issue here at hand. Everyone and their mom loved that game even if they weren't Pokemon fans and Nintendo has still to jump on that success with a sequel.

 

[qq more]

The fun wasnt the photography, really

The fun was the score attack aspect, tons of secrets and tricks, and most of all observing pokemon in their "natural" habitat

none of that is diminished because I have a smart phone!

Yesss. The score attack aspect was awesome.

 

[Kokonoe]

WELL YOUR METHOD'S NOT INTERESTING

I really enjoyed Pokemon Snap.

obligatory: noooooooo

Yeah, I'll just say I really don't agree with that reasoning. At all.

YOU'RE WRONG

I don't think he actually understands why people liked Pokemon Snap. Unless he's saying the reason they aren't making it is because they couldn't get away with charging full price like back in the day. I think an HD version would be a great 10 dollar title.

WTF? Wii U was practically designed to accommodate a modern Pokemon Snap. HURRY UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.

Damn it Masuda. Pokemon Snap was amazing.

Hopefully we'll see it see the light of day someday...someday.

He couldn't be more wrong if he did a Nazi salute and shat his pants right afterwards.

Pokemon Snap was amazing, and the genre is completely under-represented.

MASUDAAAAAAAAAA!!

You can't do this to me!

Pokemon snap feels like it would be a good extension/DLC for Nintendo land and little more.

e. Or as a side quest in a game like BG&E/Wind Waker. I'd be fine with that.

Bullshit. People look down on me when I throw smoke bombs at cats in real life.

Has this guy forgotten about all the insane crap that went on in that "photography" game? You could make a Slowpoke go fishing to evolve into Shelder, you could have a Magmar blow fire at a Charmander to evolve it into Charmeleon, you could call upon an army of Charmander to dance for you, and who could forget about taking a picture of Mew in that game?

LET ME TAKE SOME MOTHERFUCKIN' VIRTUAL PHOTOGRAPHS DAMNIT

Pokémon Snap U is the killerapp this console is waiting for.

Pokemon Snap was an awesome N64 title that could be expanded even further especially with all of these new pokemon. His reasoning doesn't even make sense. People had those disposable kodak cameras everywhere in the 90s. Everyone has cameras but not everyone can go on safaris or take pictures of Pokemon. Would've been a great wii u launch title.

At the very least here's to hoping they make a Nintendoland attraction around it.

Have Pokemon become real in the past thirteen years? Can I take my camera outside and snap photographs of actual living Pokemon in the reality in which I live? Does Masuda know something that I don't? Do they only exist in Japan or something?

The one Nintendo franchise that I wanted revived for WiiU and this happens, of course.

Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.

Give me a Snap sequel you bastard! >:|

Like a dagger in my heart.

There is so much that could be done with Pokemon Snap U.

Something I think would be really interesting would be the ability to free roam in the areas. You could actually track the pokemon you want to film.

I got tired of quoting, but Masuda you! YOU! Give us Snap!

Man, Oak was a real hardass.

 

[Seven Force]

Why do people have a soft spot for Snap? I played it and it was boring and terrible. The other Pokemon spinoff games (particularly MD) are much better.

Different strokes, pretty much. Incidentally, boring and terrible is how I'd personally describe the MD games.

 

[chickdigger802]

That's probably due to them just being easy rouge likes. Which is silly.

I liked Mystery Dungeon Dusk, but Snap was a brand new type of game, and in comparison, a lot more creative. To be honest, I basically played Mystery Dungeon for the story alone.

Oh fuck I haven't laughed so hard in ages.

But I demand the original voice actor for Professor Oak returns for Snap 2. That would be absolutely ESSENTIAL. Not new age Oak. THE OG OAK.

I also wish for on-rails, for I agree the 'timing is everything' aspect was key in going for the right shot and adding to the fun and intensity of the game. Having freeroam can get tedious, when you start wandering the wrong area and there's not a damn thing to photograph. On-rails ensured there was something to take a photo of/throw apples at/blast with

Spoiler

piss

pester balls

While I'm also making impossible wishes, I really hope it could be limited to the original 151 (not a genwunner) AT FIRST, but as you build up photographs you start to unlock the option of taking photos of later generations of Pokemon (a simple check box in option if you want to take photos of just the second gen, or first and third gen, or have intereractions across all five gens of pokemon in a single photo.

 

[DGRE]

Three platforms in a roll that are even more perfect for Pokemon Snap then the last, yet no luck.

People just keep getting worse and worse at English...

 

[DjRoomba]

NOOOO!! wtf Masuda. I cant take pictures of pokemon in everyday life!!!! Goddamn it fuck this guy, he hates money

 

[Foshy]

I've been waiting for Pokemon Snap 2 since the GC came out :[

 

[Konosuke]

What? Not interesting? They have a second screen to play with! Id love to move around the living room after seeing a Pokémon running off the TV screen. Peeking over bushes and stuff, seems fun imo.

 

[drtomoe123]

Pokemon Snap was boring. Give me a Stadium / Colosseum 3.

Will never agree on the first part, but a non-gimped Stadium 3 is one of my most wanted games.

lol.

In an interview to the French website Gameblog Masuda said, about a Wii U Snap game: " Game Freak doesn't develop Pokémon Snap but this game is really fun and comes with a concept with lot of opportunities, making it a great quality spinn-off (ndt: sorry for my weird english). It would certainly be fun and very interesting to see this licence/IP on Wii U."

Here the French quote >

Nous avons évoqué la Wii U à l'instant, pensez-vous que celle-ci pourrait voir arriver un nouveau Pokémon Snap, un jeu qui semble fait pour cette console ?

Junichi Masuda : Ce n'est pas Game Freak qui développe Pokémon Snap mais ce titre est vraiment très amusant, propose un concept aux multiples opportunités, ce qui en fait un spin-off de grande qualité. Ce serait certainement très amusant et très intéressant que l'on revoit cette licence sur Wii U.

enough with the mind games, Masuda

Maybe if we all download Pokemon Snap from VC, Nintendo will note its sales and make a sequel like they did with S&P! (I don't know if its even up on VC)

I did buy it on the Wii when it came out, and it still held up perfectly. So fun, I suppose I could purchase it again.

 

[Zeroth]

Pokemon Snap is the true killer app the WiiU needs, screw Bayonetta 2.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

da hell

enough with the mind games, Masuda

I don't see how that's inconsistent with what he said in the Polygon interview.

1. Pokémon Snap wasn't developed by us.
2. Pokémon Snap was a cool spin-off.
3. Photography is so ubiquitous now that doing the same game over again may not be interesting.
4. Wii U is an interesting platform and a Pokémon Snap sequel could do some interesting things there.

 

[LeleSocho]

he's right

What about Bayonetta Snap

 

[Hot Coldman]

he's right

 

[japtor]

Gamepad for snappin and Motion+ remote for chucking things at the Pokemon?
