Meh. This game is a solid meh. I genuinely think the graphics and audio are aimed at 2-5 year olds. If you’re hoping for photography simulator etc. like the original- it’s going to let you down. There’s no real continuity for why certain Pokémon appear in different levels. They pretty much threw this together as a money grab.

Kids did not care for it , cute but just not much going on

bought it for the kids, but they don't seem to like it after a week.

Great game but the new professor for the game only makes positive remarks.

Just ok. Feel like it could have been better with a lil more effort.

Returned. Not what they wanted. We did not try the product.

Not great. Very hand holdy tutorial and made for kids

This is just an average Pokémon game. It gets so old fast.

The game is not like what I expected, but it’s okay, still fun

Really did not enjoy this game. Maybe because I’m not 8 years old anymore but I didn’t even manage to finish it. I played for like 2 hours and stopped caring. I loved the original as a kid but this one did nothing for me

I spent more hours than I care to say playing the original N64 version. This game is nowhere near as pleasant, pass on it if you're looking to relive some of that late 90's / early 00's nostalgia.

Shipment delay. Always seems to be slow shipping even on preorders always comes late very disappointing… :(

Not challenging and completely redundant causing loss of interest. Overpriced.

This was the first ever Pokemon game I tried to play before trading it in. I found it boring. I wanted something relaxing like Animal Crossing, but this game requires no thought or effort. Maybe I’m just missing the point of Pokemon?

Really dissatisfied with it for my 8yo hoping he would love the game. He has all the other pokemon games and this one just never gets used.

Welp if you want a game with a lot of dialogue. Go for it. I wish I could return it.

If you enjoyed the original 64 game, you'll have a blast with this one! Like the original game there are plenty of puzzles to figure out and chain events to trigger, like luring a pokemon to a specific spot for something unique to happen, and this one has a few added features for better quality of life and replayability! It brings a day and night cycle, and research levels for each setting. The path taken and environment are pretty much identical, but the placement and behaviors of the pokemon will change as your score raises higher. (Don't worry about missing anything! You can go back to previous levels before you select the stage!) There are also cues for when your picture lands a good score in one of the point categories, like nailing a specific pose or getting the pokemon centered just right. Additionally on the quality of life changes, there's an actual list of hints for the special events you can trigger. There's enough throwback references to bring on the nostalgia, (oh how I missed those floppy Magikarps!) and so, so many new pokemon to make it feel fresh and exciting. As for the environmental detail, the game is gorgeous! Pokemon under the water have that 'displaced' lighting feel, and there are layers to the environment where pokemon can be hiding, sometimes hidden so well you get just a second or two to snap a picture before they're gone. For those who are new to pokemon snap or to pokemon in general, it may not feel *quite* as magical as it does to us nostalgia buffs. Taking the nostalgia aspect out of the equasion, the game is like a cartoony, warm and casual safari picture taking game. Being stuck on a one-way track might make it a little "meh" for those looking for something more "open world adventure" but for others the one-way track can bring a feeling of challenge to the game; you've got to react quick when something happens to get that perfect shot! The storyline and characters may make the game seem a little on the childish side, but keep in mind that it *IS* a pokemon game; these aren't lions hunting down gazelle for dinner, they're fun and unusual creatures in a bright and colorful cartoon world.

Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring. Boring. Boringness

My favorite game I use to play this on Nintendo 64 now that it came out on switch its even better than I remember! I love this game & to finally introduce to my kids is so cool!

Definitely nostalgic. Loved this game on N64 What better way to bring it back!
