I have memories of briefly playing the original on Nintendo 64 so I cannot compare the two.

I was worried that either a) I would get bored of just snapping photos or b) run out of content early on. I'm happily wrong on both! I was satisfied with the number of islands and different types of biomes. I love that you level up the area the more you play. It was exciting to jump in and see what was new.

You get "tools" that can get a wide range of photos. For example, throwing apples (fluffruit) can anger or surprise a Pokemon. You can get new emotions or actions depending on what you use. The story took me about 24 hours to complete with requests. You could speedrun that much faster, but it's a joy to take your time. I did complete 213 requests.

Once you finish the story, you unlock new options and maps. This wasn't short of content. Super fun and adorable.
