The Real Story Behind Pokémon Snap’s Brutal Development (Patreon)

MinnMax'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!
