"Hey we have the opportunity to announce a pokemon game for the Wii U, a decent Pokemon game would bring in some sales"
announces Scramble...
WTF NO.
It's actually one of the best selling spin-offs. 3DS one being one of the first games to hit 1 million, the Wii one was consistantly at the top of Wii Shop charts

Yeah, the game is terrible. It's very repetitive and boring.
I played it again when it was released on Wii and it still holds up, it's really just a great game in my opinion, but it seems I'm not alone in this one.
I certainly think it's better than a button masher with graphics from Pokemon Ranch Channel, at least in Snap you got to see Pokemon in their natural habitats. The models were actually better in an N64 game then the chibified ones in that game.
Fuck nostalgia, I played this in 08 or whenever the VC version came out. You're fucking wrong, man. It's neat.
Besides, you've pretty much given the reason for sequel desire anyway. It could be so much more.
I was pretty bored when I played it :/
After that Batman thread in OT, I'll just pray you're once again in the minority ;P
Uh guys, they have a free official online Pokemon TCG and I'm fairly sure it lets you register codes for packs you've bought. http://www.pokemontcg.com/

Really like the game but i hope the wii U sees something else pokemon related :/.
Pokemon MMO is the brain child of a bunch of fat dudes wearing kirby t-shirts that think the game will sell billions and save Nintendo. The truth is that this fictitious idea would sell significantly less than the hand-held main line games and cost much more to make. After all, what publisher is not dying to invest millions into a console MMO after FFIV and DQX....
BU-BU-POKEMON SNAP!
It was a terrible on-rails shooter with a camera. Get over it.
Nope! It's pretty darn great, one of the best N64 games and best Pokemon games.
Being one of the best Pokemon spinoffs isn't exactly a hard to receive accolade. And besides, that's Pinball, and you know it.
Has Softnica even worked on a single game since Pokemon Snap?
And Pokémon Snap will need to be completely coded as a new game, using the Gamepad at its fullest (theorically); Scramble U basically is a Pokémon Scramble Wii sequel with likely the same base code. So it can be released quickly for the new digital platform, and it doesn't mean "no Pokémon Snap U, one day".
What's wrong with that? We often had Pokémon spin-offs early in the hardwares lifespan. Remember Pokémon Dash on DS for example.
In short, I'm cool with this announce.
Softnica is dead. Last we heard of them, they were working on some kind of PS2 / DS games (as an outsourced contractor) and some miscellaneous stuff, but they've presumably been dead as a developer for quite some time.

Site says it last updated in Dec.

There's so few information about this company that anything I say would be conjecture, but I'm not at all convinced this is still an operating company.
You're going to have to give me some external evidence outside of that sketchy website that shows they actually still exist.
Looks fine to me.
There is banner for hentai on that link.
BU-BU-POKEMON SNAP!
It was a terrible on-rails shooter with a camera. Get over it.
Because of nostalgia. Snap gave the idea of what a massive game could be like. It's really short and mediocre otherwise
I want Ambrella to make Hey You Pikachu 2 (Channel doesn't really count).
Wasted opportunity after the Nintendogs craze.
I loved that game, Bulbasaur stirfry all day every day.
Has Softnica even worked on a single game since Pokemon Snap?
Exploring that Autumn Woods (forget the name) was amazing, collecting shit. Felt the most like an open world Pokemon game. The area with the Oddish was great too.
Channel robbed us of the exploration and vocal communication, at least the TV was pretty fun, incorporate both in a HYP2.
I remember when I got to that area, Pikachu somehow ended up eating an Oddish! I still can't believe that happened. What a bizarre game...
