I decided to make a trip to my local game store about a week ago, and I noticed they had Pokemon Snap on sale for $5, which seemed reasonable so I bought it. Today I was bored, so I dusted off my Nintendo 64 (which wasn't really dusty at all, but it adds dramatic effect) and decided to give this game a whirl. Boy was I glad I did!
Pokemon Snap is a fun game simply for the fact that there's really no other game like it. It progresses rather quickly, and you can finish it in just a few hours, but there's really an endless amount of play time when you think about how you can go back and retry pictures you've already done to try to get a higher score.
I remember the times when my friends and I would pull an all nighter and take turns playing through this game; beating it in one night. It would've been better if the game had featured all 151 original Pokemon (it only had I think like 67). I've been waiting to see a sequel to Pokemon Snap, and with the Wii having the controller set up like it does, and this game being released onto the Virtual Console, the time just might be right.
This game is really a lot of fun if you play it would some friends, and definitely one to add to your collection if you don't have it already. You can find it fairly cheap on eBay.
