NOCLIP Pocket E70 - Murdering Doom Bringer - New Pokémon Snap

You were close! Welcome back to NOCLIP Pocket! Today, we’re finally
doing the game we said we were going to do back in September before
we got blindsided by the entire month of October. Sneaks up on you
sometimes, I know. And that game is New Pokémon Snap! Concluding
our now trilogy of episodes on Snap-alikes, New Pokémon Snap is the
sequel to Pokémon Snap on the N64, and a game that was pretty
heavily speculated on and vocally desired by fans of the original.
Nintendo had released numerous consoles that seemed to be begging
for a Snap sequel, from the Wii with its pointer controls to the
Wii U and 3DS with gyroscope enabled screen devices, but we didn’t
get a new entry in the series until the Switch, and that game ends
up being very much like the original. Not that the game doesn’t
have new content, with hundreds of new Pokémon being created since
the original title, there is a huge number of new subjects to take
photos of, and the system for grading those photos is improved a
lot. In addition, you can store many more shots both in your
photodex as well as to an album, which is compatible with the
Switch’s system storage, preventing the need for trips to
Blockbuster to save your favorite photos. The game also looks very
good, which is important for the type of game this is, but also
isn’t exactly what the series has been known for recently. However,
there is an intangible element of the original game that is
noticeably missing from this one that is hard to articulate
concisely that we spend a good amount of time talking about in the
episode. This is a passionate one, so strap in. We’re going to be
talking about level design both on a mechanical and thematic level,
how Pokémon lost its edge over time, and we bring justice for the
Pester Balls who have had their free speech silenced. Thank you for
joining us again this week! We’ve been trying to get to this game
for a while and are happy we finally did. Despite our complaining,
this is still a pretty good game that we’d recommend to fans of the
original, and if you’re capable of being a bit more objective than
us, you may even prefer it. Did you notice the shift in design
between the original and this title? Do you know of any other Snap
type games you’d like to recommend to us? Let us know in the
comments or over on our Discord, where we take suggestions for
games to play and talk about the episodes! Next time, we’re going
to be talking about WarioWare: Get it Together, so we hope you’ll
join us then.
