Pokémon Snap
There is quite literally no other game that captures the excitement of taking photos of Pokémon in a variety of different poses quite like Pokémon Snap does (literally, like, there’s just one Pokémon picture taking simulator we’re pretty sure). Originally released on the Nintendo 64 back in 1999, Snap took advantage of the Pokémon hype of the 90s while also delivering a truly enjoyable experience completely different to that of the main series. While a sequel would be a godsend, what console a sequel could release on is, of course, uncertain.
A swan song for the Wii U would certainly make sense using the tablet controller’s gyro as your means of directing the camera’s viewfinder and activating the shutter with a click of a trigger, but with the Wii U’s low sale numbers, it may not be the best choice. A 3DS version could work equally as well, or perhaps the NX will be even better suited. All we really want is a roster of our favorite Pokémon, a ton of different stages, and a variety of different items to use in order to really bolster the replay value. Come on Nintendo, if there was ever a time to bring back the Pokémon Snap series from its deathbed, now would be the time!
