This morning, Pokémon unveiled a new game for the Nintendo Switch, New Pokémon Snap. This title is an all-new adventure inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game Pokémon Snap that initially released in 1999. Here’s the official statement from Pokémon:
“The New Pokémon Snap game for the Nintendo Switch system is based on its namesake, which was first released for the Nintendo 64 console in 1999. This game will take Trainers on an adventure to unknown islands overflowing with natural sights such as jungles and beaches, where they can research various Pokémon in their natural habitats. They will take photos to make their very own in-game Pokémon Photodex, all while discovering new, never-before-seen Pokémon expressions and behaviors.”
That’s right, Trainers—#PokemonSnapIsBack! #NewPokemonSnap is an all-new adventure inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game.
