Manage episode 472475224 series 2784943
Today, we’re taking a nostalgic ride through Pokémon Snap, the beloved photography-based spinoff released for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. We start by exploring its unexpected origins as Jack and the Beanstalk, a game designed for the ill-fated 64DD before Pokémon was introduced to give it focus. Then, we’ll examine its unique gameplay, from its on-rails exploration to its rewarding photography mechanics that encouraged players to capture Pokémon in their natural habitats. Finally, we’ll reflect on Pokémon Snap’s legacy, from its status as a cult classic to its long-awaited sequel over two decades later. So, grab your camera and join us as we snap our way through history on today’s trip down Memory Card Lane!
