New Pokémon Snap Vs Original Game: Which Is Better?

screenrant.com:

Pokémon Snap is a beloved classic spin-off of the Pokémon series, meaning its sequel, New Pokémon Snap, had a lot of hype to live up to. The original Pokémon Snap was released in 1999 and 2000 across the world on the Nintendo 64. Although it received a lot of love from fans, it wouldn’t see a sequel until 22 years later with New Pokémon Snap on the Nintendo Switch and the original game only recently arrived on NSO.

There was definitely awareness of the interest in a successor to Pokémon Snap leading up until 2021, though. Mainline games Pokémon Sun and Moon included a feature that allowed players to take photos of Pokémon in the wild. The games’ follow-ups, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, enhanced this gameplay element even further with the addition of Photo Clubs, where players could pose their own Pokémon — and themselves if they wanted — against a variety of backgrounds. They could even add stickers to customize the scenes even more. These fun features reminded players of the genuinely enjoyable gameplay of Pokémon Snap and perhaps helped paved the way for the series’ return with New Pokémon Snap.
