Much like many Nintendo 64 games of the era, Pokémon Snap is widely considered a cult classic, and the fact that a follow-up was never made is incredibly disheartening. Fondly remembered over a decade after its release, a 2007 port on to the Wii's Virtual Console helped fans old and new alike experience Pokémon Snap, but this is a game practically begging for a sequel.
These classics need to make a return.
Pre-ordered mine a few days ago. Love this concept and hope there are more games announced. I can’t justify paying the prices for games that collectors are asking for. It’s the primary reason I own almost every console except the Neo Geo.
I've pre ordered one here in the UK, no games though, as I'll move it on for a higher price. The white model looks awesome, but as expected, the price is too high. We'll probably see more of those all in one cartridges from China containing every AES game. In the UK, AES+ game at £70 ($95) is better than eye watering prices for the originals, but these games are so old and I can honestly say SNK didn't release many classics. The Metal Slug series is the only series I rate, there were just too many Street Fighter clones and not enough scrolling fighting games. Overall, the Neo Geo was poor for all genres apart from one on one fighters. Videos on YouTube asking for games from that console generation to be ported to the AES+, but who'd want to pay £70 for Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter 2? There's a lot of SNK collections out there, the best being Metal Slug Anthology on the PlayStation 2. The Street Fighter Anniversary Collection on the Switch contains 12 games for around £30, instead of £840 if released on the AES+. For collectors, the AES+ is the best news since sliced bread. Are there enough SNK fans out there? Nowhere near. Those £70 cartridges will soon start creeping up in price and it'll be a re-run of the original console.
I always wanted one in the 90's but couldn't afford it. Now i can but i think if i get one it will be collecting dust fast. It's a nostalgia thing i guess.
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
Pokemon Snap 2 on the Wii U. This game is BEGGING for it. Just imagine, controlling the game normally with your controller, but when you want to take a picture you hold down a button to ready your camera, then you aim your camera by moving the Wii U controller and taking a picture. Me and a buddy were just talking about this the other day.
I downloaded SNAP last night from the VC. Even though the initial game only lasts a couple of hours, there is still plenty of reasons to keep playing. I had such a nostalgic awesome time.
A new game would work extremely well with Wii U. Hell, I'd be happy if they made it for the Wii. But Wii U is HD...drool. Please Nintendo?
Would work better with 3DS I think though. You can take pictures in any outdoor environment with it, while the Wii U controller is pretty much confined to an area not too far from your T.V. I'd take it for either system though.
