I think it will have some depth. Speedrunners will most likely appreciate this game, as I'm sure there will be a category of motion gesture runs of some sort.

New "New Pokémon Snap" Trailer, releasing April 30th Worldwide
- Thread starter WrenchNinja
- Start date
Nate commented on the lack of general directs was due to country wide lockdowns and work from home orders, it's as simple as that.
Probably, makes sense to compatible with it, and/or the VR Labo kit
I loved pokemon snap 64, but if its anything like its predecessor I can't justify paying full price for a 3-4 hours experience
I'd also imagine, but that might just be my thinking, that they're afraid of delays and such. It's much easier to determine dates and marketing for one product as opposed to making a 20-30 minute show where things are likely to change before even airing the Direct, let alone after.
Game looks really pretty in the initial cinematic with the main character, but then they showed the environments and... man, it looks roooooough.
In a game like this, I would hope that'd be a priority?? The Pokemon models don't mesh well with it (kiiind of like Sword and Shield, sigh).

It's as easy as editing a video from home lol. The Direct video interface already exists, and they have done many all throughout last year, so why not do it again? It's just weird.
Looks great but it's definitely a wait and see until we hear more about how long/deep the game is.
Nice to see that game isn't restricted by what pokemon were in Sword and Shield. I think this is the most focus Meganium has been given since Heart Gold and Soul Silver.
Except they can temper expectations by saying what the Direct will contain, just like they did last year with the first Partner Direct. I believe announcing a Direct is the best marketing, as people know when to expect news. With the random Twitter info dropouts, somebody can miss the information.
This just makes me yearn for the open world Skyrim-like Pokemon game that people dreamt up a decade ago. Still can't believe Pokemon hasn't done that yet.
This kind of game design was impressive in the N64 era but it feels pretty flat now imo. Wish there was more to this.

Hopefully the game doesn't expect you to take close-ups of Pokémon.
I'm pretty sure the idea is they want to focus on the immediate future, not future titles. A Direct works better to hype a future line up, but they don't want to do that right now. Considering how their software and hardware sales so far have worked with this format, there's no reason to change it. They probably only will do general presentations again if there is a big sales drop, to launch new hardware or if something like classic E3 returns/emerges (the entire industry giving presentations with future line ups, so Nintendo attempting to stay out and doing nothing would be odd for their image).
Eh part of the reason I loved the first was the puzzle aspect and getting a better score to unlock the next zone. Also the mysteriousness of the first with Pokémon being fairly new made it special. I don't know half of these Pokémon
I'd take a 1 remaster tho

Looks cute! Gonna wait on some reviews to see how much content is included for a full price game though
Shoutout to Meganium love in 2021, who had THAT on their Pokemon bingo card for the year? :P
This looks great, loving how the Pokken team seemingly improved on their artstyle for this game. 200+ mons sounds great, almost 4x the original Snap I think.
Now I'm curious how much there is to this game. I'll be there day one regardless.

Man, this bolds well for the switch lineup this year. I was thinking if they would release this in July. If they have it for April, they feel confident they will have many games for the whole year.
the word "easy" never appeared in my posts, so don't think I'm saying it's trivial. but a nature photography game sounds more like a stealth game when you think about it. you're baiting pokemon to be a position, sneaking up on them to put yourself in a better position. pokemon can be alert and investigative, so you can draw pokemon towards each other for encounters that you can photograph, much like the original game. but by not being on rails, the puzzle takes more dimensions than just time. there are just more range of scripting opportunities and more angles you can take photographs from.
but I digress, this ain't that game, so there's no point in arguing the could'ves and should'ves
That's for the better. One of the things I loved about the original was repeating the levels and realizing what opportunities you missed, and being able to come back and set them up.
I can
It's on rails and a cultivated experience with limited interactivity and no open areas. This means they can fine tune things and don't need to worry about lots of moddels popping in at random etc.
It's a similar thing to when you compare say Uncharted with one of the open world games out at the same time. The finetuned limited experience will always look better over the big open one with thousands of different models and dozens of locales including open ones
Hell it's why when you look at the non-Wild Areas of SWSH they look infinitely better than the open areas
Thank you for saying this, that was half the magic of the first game and is all I can think about now that we're finally getting a sequel. I think it might be really easy (if costly) to do make a similar product at home these days since they just added the ability to plug your Switch directly into the PC and nab all your photos and video clips. I'd love it if there were a lower cost high quality option provided by Nintendo themselves, like a mail service or something?
Why not? It is on-rails and reuses the same Pokemon models.
Dedicated exclusively to taking pictures and go has to run in everything so it's lacking the cool apple stuff
Coming back to this thread after reflecting on another positive despite my negative visual impression: I am really pleased with the variety of Pokémon chosen and the interactions they've created with them. Even in just the trailer you can see a really diverse range of monsters and that is the most exciting prospect to me.
Let's hope they add more puzzle elements in this game. I adore the original, but it's so... lacking in depth, or something. I need more than just taking a picture of 200 different Pokémon. I've compared Pokémon Snap to Hitman's Sniper Challenge missions before, and I hope they incorporate some things that game has. Like optional challenges, or different methods to, in this case, take a picture of your target. Please add stuff like 'take a picture of every hidden Ditto in level A', 'lure out 10 Diglett in level B and take their picture' etc. Challenges like that would add so much replay value to a game that you otherwise will power through in an hour or two.
Translating, different laws and lock down orders across different countries. It really takes a lot.
So you say you like the first since you didn't know much about the pokemon at the time, and now a new one is coming with half the pokemon being ones you aren't familiar with, ones you don't know much about, and you would just rather have a remake of the game you already know all the puzzle solutions as well as the pokemon in it.
...I don't get it.
Not really my cup of tea, but I'm very happy to see Meganium get her moment~
First of all how dare you
