Pokemon Snap (Virtual Console) on the Wii Information

On December 10, 2007 Nintendo has released Pokemon Snap as a Virtual Console game on the Wii Shop Channel and added a new feature that allow you to post your Pokemon Snap pictures to the Wii Message Bard and send them to friends, however they have limited posting those picture on your Wii Message Board to only one picture per day.

 

Glitches and Warnings:

Changing to a Future date warning!!!

If you want to send more than one picture a day by changing the date DO NOT change to a distant future date such as a year from now and post a picture on that date because when you save or post a picture to the Wii Message Board it records that date into the save file of Pokemon Snap (Virtual Console) and doesn't allow you to post pictures if it detects that it's any day before that recorded date. For example, let's say you downloaded Pokemon Snap (Virtual Console) on December 10, 2007 and got to the Cave stage and you posted your picture for the day and wanted to post more and you decide to change your Wii's system clock to a future date such as August 10, 2008 and then you post another picture, but because it recorded the last save date as August 10, 2008 in the save game you wont be able to save another picture until August 11, 2008 or you'll have to change the Wii's system clock to a future date every time you want to post a picture or you will just have to start a new game. So don't change the date to a distant future date to post another picture on the same day, if you really want to post another picture then just change it to tomorrow or a recent future date. I'm not sure why the programmers made it like this, but I'm thinking they really didn't want you to post more than one picture a day or put it in by accident, hopefully they'll fix this with a update.

Make up for missed days!

Another thing about how the one picture per day limit was programmed is that it's programmed so it not only records the day it was last saved but restricts it from previous days as well, but if you haven't played for several days you can take advantage of this by changing the Wii's System date to a day after the last time you played. For Example, if it's currently January 10, 2008 and you haven't played since December 25, 2007 well instead of wasting all those missed days by saving and posting on this day you can change it to December 26, 2007 and post on that day and every day after until you either reach today's day or until you don't have any pictures that you want to post left.
