Une vrai tuerie quand j'étais petit, je l'ai repayé 20€ sur l'eshop pour le finir en moins de 2 heures, coup dur

Professor Oak knows nothing about what actually makes a good photo

esta bonito pero corto x'd espero algun dia jugar el new, se ve aun mas chido


A super unique concept that I feel has a lot of untapped potential. Taking an on-rails shooter, similar to Star Fox or Sin & Punishment, and turning it into a more cozy, puzzle-like picture game is frankly ingenious.

All the levels here are varied, and there are a good amount of Pokemon to take pictures of. The puzzle element comes in with trying to unlock new stages and find unique situations for each of the Pokemon to take a snapshot of. It always feels rewarding to line things up perfectly for a good shot or a unique moment.

With all that said... This game only had 64 of the 151 known Pokemon at the time. On top of that, while there are secrets and puzzles to solve, an experienced gamer can do it in half a day. This makes the game's replayability quite shallow. I would still recommend it, but only if you don't mind its shortcomings. If you do want a game like this though, I would suggest the sequel instead.

Pokémon Snap was one of the first N64 games I’ve ever played. It came packed alongside Pokémon Stadium and a special Pikachu edition N64.
I have very fond memories and remember loving how expressive the models were compared to the sprites on the gameboy games.
Im glad that I could replay this game. Its really short but definitely worth your time. It is full of personality.

Me: PROFESSOR OAK! I'VE DONE IT! I MANAGED TO SNAG A PHOTO OF THE LEGENDARY MOLTRES; THE MYTHOLOGICAL POKEMON REFERENCED IN THE TOMES OF KANTO LEGEND FOR BRINGING BALANCE TO THE WORLD AND CRADLING THE OCEAN!!! WE'VE MADE HISTORY!
Professor Oak: Looks at picture. Hmmmmm, yeah, it's not in the centre of the frame though, is it...?
Me: Well, it's slightly off, I guess...
Professor Oak: ... and the sizing? What's up with that, huh?
Me: ...
Professor Oak: ...
Me: ...
Professor Oak: I'll give you 5 points for it. Got anything else?
Me: ...Um, well, I have this blurry shot of a random Pidgey I took to waste some film.
Professor Oak: looks at the picture. A single, glistening tear rolls down his wrinkly old face. YOU BEAUTIFUL SON OF A BITCH. IT'S IMMACULATE. 4,500 POINTS TO YOU. SOMEONE GET THE BUBBLY, WE'RE CELEBRATING TONIGHT!!!!

The 3D space was cool for a little bit, but I mostly just remember... frustration.

A novelty game
For the time, the idea of seeing Pokémon roaming a 3D space organically and interacting with you was amazing. Adding the ability to print those photos at your local Blockbusters and it was mind-blowing. But we live in an era beyond that now, so the game just feels like a slow Disney ride. Still one of the most unique experience in a game so it’s worth a try.

this is a good game with really not much substance to it
theres some puzzles on what you need to do to get some photos (gyarados can go to hell), you can use a pokeflute to sing, throw stink balls and apples, but really only the stink balls get any use. the rest are just kinda used a couple times and forgotten. beyond that, its just an on-rails game where you take pictures of pokemon
its fun, but its only got 63 pokemon (bro this is a nintendo 64 game just add one more) and a handful of levels, so there certainly could have been more. i'm aware of the new game (but im broke so i wont be playing it for some time) but i do wish pokemon snap was just one of those spinoff pokemon games that lingered on for longer. there arent enough games about monster photography, and its a niche i hope to see catered to more one day.

Animal abuse if it was epic

so charming and surprisingly deep

Loved it, I thought the game would be boring but it suprised me. Bullying the Pokémon was fun.

Man you would think a game where you take photos of pokemon would sound boring but it's honestly one of those charming and unique games that leaves you wanting more.

The hidden paths the secret evolutions the unique events. This game gives you around 5 hrs of content that feels like 10 never once do the levels feel lifeless or dull or the designs lack in any way.

The music is also something that really gives the game life I think this is one of those games only for fans but it's a blast to play regardless

Really fun concept, the graphics and controls age a lot better than expected

No se cuando conseguí este juego pero me dio muchas horas bonitas y me lo pasé genial explorando todo.

A lot shorter than I remember and simpler. But, fun, different kind of game.

I love how they managed to create such an interactive and quirky environment, where every pokemon serves their own role. When you think you already saw it all, you soon learn something new. Tbh, this game is more about being a part of Pokemon universe than any mainline games. I really need to get myself New Pokemon Snap asap.

-0.5 stars because there was no paras :(

such a fun concept, it fits perfectly with the pokemon franchise where all kids want to do is be part of the world around them ♡ i would spend hours and hours as a kid memorizing the locations of different pokemon and how to access the special ones. this game is the reason why mew was my favourite pokemon for so many years ♡ it loses half a star as it is a little short, i wish that there was more content!

My mom LOVES this duckin game. Lol.

A classic. Played it over the course of a couple of days while a friend was staying at my house, and it's still some of my fondest memories playing a game. Short, VERY sweet, and impossible to go wrong with.

makes u feel like an unemployed art student

For the 3rd year in a row I woke up early and played Pokémon snap in the cozy atmosphere of my friends cabin on my original N64!

I’ve always really enjoyed this game, it’s unique and there’s just a bunch of cool little things to find. My only complaint is I wish it was a bit longer or at least had a few more Pokémon to snap. But with that said I do enjoy the fact I can just pop this game on and beat it in under 2 hours.

This is what I wanted to be when I grew up.

This is more fun than it should be

Grew up with this, such a fun idea and it is still great.

FUCK YEAH I LOVE TAKING PICTURES OF POKEMON
