Today's Pokemon Snap's 20th Anniversary

[Deleted]

In Japan anyway.

Man, used to play this game all the time as a kid. To be fair I'd kind of bite on just about anything Pokemon up until Crystal (after that I fell out from the series until Diamond & Pearl) but still, this one was always a favorite, even in spite of some obvious flaws and how limited it really is.

... Why do we not have a sequel yet? And no, the boring-ass photos in Sun & Moon don't count.

because Blockbuster is dead (outside the one in Oregon) so there's nowhere to go to print out your Pokemon Snap photos?

Here's how the Blockbuster station worked:

An unquestionable classic. I wasted so many hours on this game when I was a kid.

I missed out on the whole Pokemon thing because I was like 10 years too old for it at the time but that Pokemon Snap game looks like a lot of fun and now I kind of want to play it even though I don't know anything about Pokemon.

I really liked it, it was intensely satisfying to top my scores, and that's as someone who usually isn't all that points-oriented.

THIS. It's one of the few video games where a score ever mattered to me, which put a ton of replay value into an admittedly short, predictable game.

I really wish we ended up getting a sequel. Thought it would have happened when the 3DS came out.
