I've played for an hour. It's Pokemon Snap, but New!
The primary evolution past the N64 game seems to be the photo editing. After finishing the course you can "re-snap" a photo, letting you essentially revisit that moment of time to turn the camera surprisingly far away from your original subject, change the zoom, focus, angle, etc., and then of course things like contrast, colors, filters, stickers, etc. to make something fun to post online.
One difference to the "game" is that each Pokemon has four different high score rankings, instead of just one like the original. These are presented as stars (1-4 stars) but they're really more like different Pokemon states (sitting still for one star, flying/swimming for two stars, doing something special for three and four) that each get their own slot for a high score from the Professor. I like it because it encourages you to get multiple high score photos of the same Pokemon doing different things. The downside is you can still only present one photo per Pokemon per run, so if I have a run where I get three really good photos of Bidoof in different states (at rest, swimming, building a dam) it still seems like I can only present one of those three to the professor for a score at the end.
Also, each course now seems to have four different "levels" where different Pokemon appear and do different things, and these seem to be unlocked by increasing your ranking with good scores. It's nice to revisit a course and see a few new Pokemon, or the same ones in different places, but it could get a little confusing to remember which Pokemon appear in which version of each course.
Overall I like it a lot so far. It has just enough little quality of life enhancements to feel new, but has the same overall feel to the N64 game. Anyone else picking this up today?
EDIT: One thing the game could really use is an easy way to share photos online after you've uploaded them to the in-game internet community. I want to show you all my Bidoof!!! |
