Masuda says new Pokemon Snap would need an original idea or something to make it more appealing
Although Nintendo has only released one Pokemon Snap game, there has certainly been clamoring from fans for a sequel. Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda is also a fan, and sounds open to considering a new entry.
However, Masuda feels that simply bringing out Pokemon Snap “as the same game” – in other words, “how it was before” – wouldn’t be the best idea. He instead feels that a new release would require “a new idea or something that will make it more appealing to players.”
Regarding the possibility of a new Pokemon Snap, Masuda told Polygon:
“Personally, I really love the Pokemon Snap game, but it wouldn’t be interesting if we just released the same game, how it was before, for the Wii U or 3DS. So we have to come up with a new idea or something that will make it more appealing to players. Sometime down the road, we may have something.”
