| Chicho said: They could have made it clear if they just called it Pokémon Snap 2. By calling it new snap they make seem like the new 3ds which is small upgrade. |
I agree it's a terrible name, but this is what they did with New Super Mario Brothers and Yoshi's New Island. The precedent for slapping 'new' on new games is very strong with Nintendo.
Those who played the original will know that this is not a remake. The areas shown in the trailer are completely different from the original game. The only one that looks familiar is the Beach, but even that one looks very different both in aesthetic and layout from the N64.

I'll probably buy this game for my nephew, I'll show him the trailer and ask him if he wants it.

That being said, I hope some areas from the original return. I really liked the Tunnel and Volcano levels. |
I would be pretty happy if some areas made a return. The Volcano could be absolutely beautiful with the new graphics and there is a lot of new things they can do with the new Fire type Pokémon since Gen 1 (personally I would love to see the Cave level, that pne was my favourite on N64. So mysterious...).
But really, what they have to do is make the game bigger than the N64 one. Like... A crap ton. The original was very short, had a very limited number of Pokémons and just 6 maps iirc (ignoring the Mew stage). If they can improve those areas plus keep the gameplay fun and fresh with both new and returning items... The game will be great.
Oh, and if it somehow had local multiplayer of some kind and the ability to share pictures online with other player... That would be pretty neat.

Maybe it should be more free roaming, unless being on-rails works better for this kind of game. |
I don't know what to think about that. Both approaches seem to have strenghts and weaknesess. But I believe the trailer confirms it's on-rails like the origina, so it doesn't matter xD
