In Pokémon Snap, you capture Pokémon not with a Poké Ball but with a camera! As budding young photographer Todd, help Professor Oak research Pokémon by taking pictures of them from your purpose-built vehicle, the ZERO-ONE.

Travel across Pokémon Island and snap the Pokémon in their home turf. However, many Pokémon are camera-shy, so you’ll need to use special items like food or a flute to bring them out into the open.

Professor Oak will score your photos based on factors like the Pokémon's pose and its size in the frame. So get out there and put your Pokémon snapping skills to the test!

Also, the Virtual Console version of Pokémon Snap has been enhanced to work with the Wii Message Board – so now you can share your favourite Pokémon pics with your friends!

A truly unique experience back in the day it came out., but is now beginning to show its age. However, the gameplay still stands out for me, and the addition of being able to post your pictures Message Board is a rather nice bonus. For fans of the series. Id give it about 80%, points coming off for, as above, the fact that there is something missing. But it still works rather well. Younger Nintendo fans will love it.

I wouldn't say Snap is a bad game however, It lacks a special moment in the game. It was certainly a novel and unique idea however I found it had very little replay value and would only recomend getting it on the virtual console if you either a younger sibling. If you had it on the N64, I'd suggest you'd be better off spending your points on a different game.

The game was really good back when I was younger and played it.

It still stands up to my expectations of a spin-off game... it just needed something other than the obvious (to us now) signs to bring us back to it...

a great game, the best you could ask of a pokemon spin off. 8 different levels to unlock, and so many different poses and positions to capture pokemon in.
