The Real Story Behind Pokémon Snap’s Brutal Development

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.
