Pokémon Snap
As depicted above, pretty much everyone was banking on a Pokémon Snap remake when the Wii U arrived. Given the console’s tablet controller functionality, it seemed like a no-brainer. With the Wii U going to the wayside in favor of the recently launched Switch, however, it seems like that possibility is much more slim. That combined with the fact that Pokémon Go uses the same concept at its core on mobile devices and Nintendo has less incentive for remaking the Nintendo 64 classic.
The spending power of millennials may change the publisher’s mind, though. Updating the game’s visuals and giving players free reign on their island adventure will make the experience much more memorable, plus worthy of being spread across social media channels (thus producing free marketing for Nintendo). Incorporating mechanics found within the safaris of main entry games in the series could help usher Pokémon Snap into modernity, able to be enjoyed by said millennials and the generations that come after them, too.
