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!

Eat fruit, avoid enemies and obstacles, and throw eggs from the Yoshis' never-ending supply in your quest to stop Baby Bowser's plan. And who knows, you might even find the mysterious black and white Yoshis!

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

afscrome — Fri, 23 Feb 2007 00:00:00 GMT

Released to an eager audience in 1998, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time became an instant smash and quickly established itself as one of the greatest games ever made.

Ocarina of Time brilliantly adapted the 2D, top-down style of classic Zelda adventures into 3D, becoming a textbook example of game design that is still followed today.

But the appeal of 'Ocarina' lies not only in its cinematic visuals or groundbraking combat system; it also impresses with its epic storyline, memorable characters, superbly designed dungeons and rich variety of gameplay. Quite simply, it's a masterpiece!

Mario Kart 64

afscrome — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 00:00:00 GMT

The crazy power slides and vicious red shells are back! Mario Kart 64 was one of the earliest hits of the Nintendo 64 and is still considered by many as one of the best episodes of Nintendo's classic kart series. Several reasons justify such a high reputation. The 4-player multiplayer provides some of the most entertaining sessions ever. The driving experience has been refined with the addition of several advanced techniques. And the various tracks are filled with clever ideas and hidden shortcuts.

Unfortunately, for technical reasons, it will be impossible to save "ghost data" (replay data of your best times in Time Trials mode) in this version. We apologise for the inconvenience.
