It's too bad this game only costs $1 used, and I already own a copy. Sweet feature though, it's nice to see that they are beefing up the VC titles to include new features. Now bring me Perfect Dark with online play and a better frame rate.

Aw man, I just bought this on N64 a year or two ago. Oh well I can just take a photo of the screen if I really need to feel this feature. Amazing game.

I don't know. This just makes me grumpier that they haven't updated other VC titles to include simple obvious things like cursor support, rumble support, or being able to use the Wiimote+Nunchuck instead of the classic controller...

That's cool. Too bad Pokemon Snap is a supreme rental title. My brother did everything possible in the game within a weekend rental. It's the Luigi's Mansion of the N64.
Fix Perfect Dark's framerate like Mr. Jack suggested. I don't even need online play for it but the framerate is like a damn bug in the game that needs to be fixed.

I'll be buying this game. What'd be neat is if you could e-mail the pictures to yourself. It sucks you can't send Check Mii Out pictures to e-mail though...

ROFL Cakes at above. :-D
Pokemon Snap is a great title and I remember having a lot of fun with it, but to agree with Ian I remember having all of that fun within a couple days.

"DO IT! DO IT SO WE GET A WII VERSION OF THE GAME WITH POINTER-CAMERA ACTION!"
I'd rather we get the good 3D Pokemon RPG I've given up asking for with taking pictures as a sidequest. Pokemon Snap is fun but it would be so much cooler as part of a bigger game. It's kind of like photography in Majora's Mask and Wind Waker.

I agree whole-heartedly.

If that happened, they wouldn't be able to create multiple franchise-milking titles.

No. Pokemon is a "take with you" kind of game. It lends itself to short bursts of play and long play sessions. Keep it handheld and I wont mind. More Pokemon Snap is required lest Nintendo wishes for HAL to disappear suddenly.

I disagree. The call for a 3D console Pokemon RPG is one of my pet peeves, grrrrrr....

While I don't care one way or the other about a 3D Pokemon RPG (the series is well-suited to handhelds), I will agree that Pokemon Snap and Pokemon Stadium each felt like half a game. Bundled together, they'd be a pretty good one.

Because you're against innovation.

"No. Pokemon is a 'take with you' kind of game. It lends itself to short bursts of play and long play sessions. Keep it handheld and I wont mind. More Pokemon Snap is required lest Nintendo wishes for HAL to disappear suddenly."
F*ck this. With online play trading and the whole social element of the game can be recreated from your home. And if it somehow doesn't feel right to you the handhelds are still being made so just stick to them and let the rest of us get what we want. Nintendo should have made a 3D Pokemon RPG on the N64 and here we are two consoles later still waiting.
The thing is Nintendo already does make console Pokemon games and has even technically made a 3D Pokemon RPG, only it has that little problem of sucking ass. So they're already making impure games that lack the "take it with you" factor. They're going to make those games anyway so they might as well make them right. Now if they just ditched Pokemon console games altogther I probably wouldn't care. The half-assed, easy-buck, incomplete, corporate product nature of those games is what really bothers me. The whole thing is a tease and a con. That's why I want a good 3D Pokemon RPG because they f*cking OWE us one after all the crap they've released.
Pokemon Snap and Stadium were easier to tolerate when they came across as stop-gaps to tide the fans over and keep Pokemania rolling until the real deal was to be released. In retrospect they come across as intentional rip-offs.

Hahahahahaha a bunch of 12 year olds in an online community? No wonder Nintendo has avoided making that sort of game.

The worst thing about videogames is the people who play them.

If the price is right I'll try this game but, I agree I would rather have this as another way to play a fully fleshed out 3D Pokemon, including things Pokemon stalking...

on an emulator i played Perfect Dark in high resolution with a perfect frame rate and with a mouse. It looked loads better, in fact it looked almost like a current gen game aside from the character models. Theres allot of effects in the game like reflection and the textures aren't half bad.

Perm, you NEED to tell me the exact way you did this. I would love to play PD with a mouse and good frame rate.

I'm not a big fan of Pokemon at all, but a 3D world where you capture and take photos or hell, use pokemon like dinji in GS would make me throw out cash as if I were at a strip club.
