The Real Story Behind Pokémon Snap’s Brutal Development
🕑 Added 2021-04-27 00:21:07 +0000 UTCMinnMax's Ben Hanson walks through the history of Pokémon Snap's development, starting with Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto's ambitious Jack and the Beanstalk Project. The team's bold new vision of game development resulted in a nearly 4-year development for the Nintendo 64, ultimately resulting in Iwata suggesting they convert the photography game into one focusing on Pokémon. Let us know what you think of this format below, any help sharing the video is appreciated!

Glad you enjoyed it, Martin! Tell a friend?

Totally. Same here.
This was a great video, precisely the type of content I was hoping to see! Very interesting seeing how this Beanstalk project evolved, extremely fascinating.
Great video, I had no idea this had such a troubled road to release. When I was younger I just thought this was the quick appetizer they tossed out before before a full fledged Pokemon RPG 64 meal
