Nintendo should bring back one of the greatest on rail shooters of all time....

Pokemon Snap

I really like what they did with the VC version, allowing you to mail pictures to your Wii friend list.

With updated visuals this game could be much more exciting. Imagine a game that could have Pokemon and environments that look much better than Pokemon Battle Revolution.

Along with that the new IR control allows for so many more possibilities.

Online interactivity could include a whole load of user generated content and sharing.

People seem so crazy to throw rail shooters on Wii, this is a rail shooter that is unique and transcends the limitations of the genre.

I played Pokemon Snap on N64 just last week I would love a Wii version!

I'm 100% with you on that. Pokemon Snap was a game for the ages.

Well on the rail shooters haven't been too great in this generation. The wii only has umbrella chronicles and that other res that I can't remember and thats it. The ps3 got Time Crisis which was a major flop and wasn't well received by the critics either. I don't think that at this moment Nintendo are prioritising on the rail shooters, what with zelda 2 and super mario galaxy 2 to be coming soon...

They have that on ps3 its called afrika, and i think nintendo should banned all on rail shooters its almost as bad as FPSs on the other consoles.Fightingfan

Not nearly as bad as the saturation of FPS on other systems. However it takes much less rail shooters for it to get really old, really fast.

Pokemon Snap is unlike any on rail shooter you have played though, other than future adaptations like Afrika. Pokemon Snap made it very fun and interesting to take these photos. It was way more compelling to play the same levels over again, then in a game like Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

As long as it has:

More Safari

Less Track.

*In before "Dear Nintendo" references...or not*

You know, when I put some thought into this idea, I think a Pokemon Snap revival on the Wii really could be a great move. I think the game could support a number of system tools that could really help the experience, like SD card support and perhaps a new channel for new challenges in a Mario Kart Wii-like fashion to keep the game fresh.

I think it's possible to make the argument that Pokemon Snap was a "guided first person experience" long before EA and Visceral decided to coin the term for Dead Space Extraction, and it was a game that obviously had appeal for younger and less experienced gamers, but provided just enough of a punch from a challenge perspective to keep more experienced gamers aiming for higher scores and the most unique pictures possible. I think a Wii installment would do well to expand on the concept. :)

Amen. One of my favorite games of all time.

Pokemon Snap was awesome. I should dust off the old cart and give it a whirl this weekend.

After reading the title, I was thinking, "No, no, and hell no."

But now after reading it, "YES!!!"

A new Pokemon Snap would be awesome. I remember when Blockbuster used to have the Pokemon Snap arcade booth. And the Wii would be the perfect platform for such a game, they are pretty much the beholder of rail shooters right now.

I love pokemon snap. I hope they make a sequel one day.

Ah, memories.

Pokemon Snap was great. I agree, a new Pokemon Snap would be awesome.

The thing is I only moderately liked Pokemon Snap when it first came out. Back then I was a bit dissappointed that there was no full on console iteration of the Pokemon handheld games. A bit later in the console cycle of the N64 I went back to the game and was much more impressed on second impressions.

Its a simple game, its perfect for Wii in every way.

lol is it time for the tri monthly Pokemon Snap topic already?Sepewrath

The idea of making it free roam changes the game quite a lot. If it was not on tracks and you moved around a character it would allow loads more gameplay. Like stealth to hide from the Pokemon while you are taking its picture. Of course I doubt Nintendo would do this, thoughI do see them making another Pokemon Snap down the road.

Man i thought the same thing! I loved pokemon snap, it was a really fun game even without it really being a Pokemon game.

I would love that, but I would much prefer it to be free roaming. Like the intro from the original looked awesome:

walking through lush forests would just be great in my opinion.

yes this is deff one of the best games ever made. they should remake it and use all of the new pokemon too.

I rented this game so many times as a kid that I felt like I owned it. I am all for a new version.

I'm game (a pun, ha!).
