Pokemon Snap - N64

As an aspiring Pokemon photographer, you must travel through different environment types in order to photograph as many Pokemon as you can find. Professor Oak will help you discover new places to photograph Pokemon, but the quality of the picture depends on you.

Believe it or not, Pokemon Snap will be my first experience with on-rails shooters. Can't wait. ^.^ Thank goodness it is just at 9:00PM tomorrow. (PACIFIC)

Yeah please do. I have nothing against Pokemon Snap (In fact im gonna get it myself) but S&P is soooooo much better (Despite the creepy looking characters :P)

This game is not for me (even though we don't have it yet). You take photograps of pokemon and there are only 60 or so in the game, also it said you could complete it in an hour. Not worth the money in my eyes.

It depends, I had lots of fun with this title back in the day, and now I have it again.

ICEknight · 11th December 2007

Does it run at 60Hz in European systems?

ZueriHB · 11th December 2007

I didn't test, But I think it doesn't (As all native N64 games don't).

ICEknight · 11th December 2007

Oh, I was hoping they'd "fix" it while they were adding the Wii-exclusive functionality. =\

If only...

Angelic Lapras King · 11th December 2007

How many blocks is this game?

ZueriHB · 11th December 2007

The Downloaded English Version is 159 Blocks

Angelic Lapras King · 11th December 2007

Uh oh *Isnt sure if I have enough blocks left or not*

ZueriHB · 11th December 2007

You can't download without having space for it.
But deleting channels you seldom use helps (like everybody votes or internet channel).

I sure have to manage Channels.

I didn't really think Sin and Punishment was an on-rails shooter. But now that you mention it, Saki does run with you making him do so. >.> I guess my first on-rails shooter experience was Star Fox 64 then.

You can complete Super Metroid in 1 hour.
You can complete Super Mario World in 15 minutes.

What's up people? You really think you beat Pokémon Snap in under one hour the first time you play it?

To be honest, many people will see the ending on their first day. I did.
But again, what's up with that?
I have seen Super Mario Galaxy's ending at the second day. But the game goes on and on. And Pokémon Snap is the same.
It's easy to rush through the game, but it keeps you playing until you find everything
(I won't spoil it, but there's quite a bit of cool surprises).

And yeah, played the original on my N64 yesterday, the soundtrack has some great tunes. And the presentation is really nice.

Thats okay, Urban Champion and Ice Climber had to go on my Camera's SD card.

The shoemaker · 12th December 2007

Well it's probanly gonna take off 30 blocks when you download it.

**Shortay** · 12th December 2007

I was thinking about getting this, but I'd rather wait for the next N64 to see if it's any better...

Kamon · 14th December 2007

I'm so happy this game came to the VC this fast. This was actually one of my most anticipated games for the VC, although I haven't downloaded it yet. I remember playing it when it was new and I liked it so much. When I stopped playing it I lacked the pictures of 1 or 2 pokemons. I guess my quest to picture them all should start again soon
