See morePokémon Snap is a Nintendo 64 video game developed by HAL Laboratory with Pax Softnica me. The game is published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It is part of the Pokémon series. This is the first Pokémon game to get a Virtual Console release, and the first Virtual Console title which has been modified to take advantage of features of the Wii console. The default name of the main character, Todd, was changed to Todd Snap, likely due to retcon as he was called Snap in the home video versions of the Pokémon anime. Pokémon Snap was originally revealed as a Nintendo 64DD game.
The game is featured with 63 of the original generation of 151 Pokémon. Todd Snap, a fledgling Pokémon photographer, is summoned by Professor Oak to an unusual island to help him with a report. Oak needs quality pictures to accompany his scientific findings, and knows from past experience that Todd is the right person for the job. Pokémon Island, which contains a variety of climatic and geographic regions, is a place where Pokémon live relatively undisturbed by humans. Using a motorized, amphibious buggy named the Zero-One, Todd explores the island and takes photographs of the wide variety of Pokémon that inhabit its environments. From Professor Oak’s research hub, the player can select between the game’s levels and features using a menu system. The path through the levels is linear, similar to a rail shooter. Up to 60 pictures can be taken per visit to a course. The game features seven levels: Beach, Tunnel, Volcano, River, Cave, Valley, and the special course "Rainbow Cloud." However, the staggered acquisition of items from Professor Oak ensures that the player must re-explore the courses to discover new material.

White it doesn't sound like much, Snap is actually a tremendously entertaining and original game. Your job is to take pictures of dozens of pokemon while riding in a track-based vehicle. The camera can be rotated to look all around, and tossing various items can either attract or annoy your targets. After... Read more
In Pokemon Snap, you’re just a boy on a photo-journalism mission to snap picts of Pokemon characters. And, like the saying goes, you gotta catch ‘em all. Instantly addictive, your photography skills are immediately criticized for lack of subject size, positioning and pose. Ripping off a spool of film is one thing, getting those award winning close-ups of a Jigglypuff or Poliwag, those National Geographic caliber photos, that’s where the challenge lies. Once...

The Pokemon sensation is sweeping the world, and analysts say that within another 36 months Pikachu will be the Earth's supreme leader. (But not if I have my scope and three rounds of ammo left ... heheheh). Pokemon Snap is all about photography, and the game runs along rails where the player must essentially take photos of the entire species of Pocket Monsters (Pokemon's alter name). This at first is quite annoying, the fact that you can .t steer where you want can get... Read more
Why does Nintendo do the things that they do? Seriously, sometimes it just really bothers me. When fans were calling for a 3D Pokemon RPG of epic scale like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Nintendo responded that they did have Pokemon games in the works for the Nintendo 64. Firstly, they had Pokemon Stadium , which took arguably the worst part of Pokemon, battling, made you do it over and over again, all for nothing, since you couldn’t level up your Pokemon and...

So is the Pokemon phenomena going to stop? Not if Snap is anything to go by. The antics of Pikachu and his chums will keep you deliciously hooked until you find them all and get the best possible pictures, which could take ages. It's the kind of game that's aimed squarely at kids, will be loved by them, but will be loved just as much by parents who play it sneakily after their children've gone to bed. The UK version will be no different to this US cart, making it one of... Read more
