Pokemon.com says the game will release on December 10. If I didn’t have the original for N64 then I’d buy this game in a heartbeat. I loved this game when I was younger, and I actually played it again for
awhile a couple months ago. Now the game will be even better with the added functionality of being able to save and share your pictures with friends and challening them to see who took the better picture. If you don’t already own this game, then I suggest you buy it on the VC. It’s a great spin-off title that deserves a full sequel on the Wii.

Even with this good news of added functionality, I’ve got to wonder why Nintendo hasn’t added online functionality to any other VC game, namely Mario Kart64, F-Zero X, Star Fox 64, and Wave Race 64.  I’d pay a little extra for some added online play, even though Nintendo could easily do it without charging us any extra. It would be nice to be able to play some classic games online. Overall though I guess this isn’t too big of a deal seeing as we’re getting Mario Kart Wii online in the next couple months, and I’m sure we’ll be getting an F-Zero Wii online by the end of the Wii’s lifetime.
