New Pokemon Snap
New Pokemon Snap
Few franchises have the ability to conjure up such immense nostalgia for people like the Pokémon series. And although it may not be a main series game, the original Pokémon Snap for the Nintendo 64 holds a special place in the hearts of many.
For two decades, the original Pokémon Snap was relegated to its reputation as a one-off title (multiple re-releases aside) of one of the biggest media franchises of all time. That is, of course, until June of last year when New Pokémon Snap was announced as a part of Pokémon Presents.

For those unfamiliar with the Pokémon Snap franchise in general, the core gameplay revolves around the player being tasked with, as the name might suggest, taking photos of various Pokémon in their natural habitats. So, rather than battling, training and catching Pokémon like in the main series games, Pokémon Snap offers a different, more relaxed (yet just as addicting) experience.
The original game featured 63 of the 151 Pokémon at the time and the sequel vastly improves upon that number. The new game, which will be released for the Nintendo Switch, will reportedly feature over 200 different Pokémon to take photos of and log. Speaking of the Nintendo Switch, the current-gen console and its ability to be played at home and on the go seems like a perfect fit for the more casual gameplay of Pokémon Snap.

The new game will be released on April 30 of this year and will see the player journey to the islands of the Lental region at the request of Professor Mirror. Players will traverse across a multitude of different environments such as the jungle, desert and the ocean to help research Pokémon in their natural habitats. Players will roam around in a hovercraft called NEO-ONE, can use fruit like fluffruit to lure Pokémon and use various camera effects to get the perfect picture, add to their personal picture album and share their photos online with other players.
