December 10th: American Pokemans get shown

On December 10th, six days after the Japanese launch of Pokémon Snap, the American Virtual Console will feature the rail-photography game. To promote the release, the online Toonami Jetstream channel will show a week of Pokémon cartoon episodes featuring Todd, the protagonist of Snap who was hamfistedly crammed into the show to help sell cartridges.

Why should you care about a Pokémon spinoff game? We'll recap:

1. It's a pretty okay game
   

2. Judged against other Pokémon spinoff games, it's a freakin' masterpiece

3. Expanded functionality allows you to share photos with Wii Friends

4. (if you're me) More attention on Pokémon Snap could finally get the "photography game" genre going, or at least convince Hudson to let us download Photograph Boy.

So, in conclusion, Photograph Boy is a great game. What? Oh, right. The Pokemans thing is good too.
