During today's Pokémon Presents, the Pokémon Company announced the comeback of a beloved title: Pokémon Snap. Aptly titled New Pokémon Snap, Nintendo describes it as a "new adventure" that is "inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game Pokémon Snap."

That’s right, Trainers—#PokemonSnapIsBack! #NewPokemonSnap is an all-new adventure inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game.

While details are scant, Nintendo also shared this title's description:

Travel to unknown islands with beautiful scenery like lush jungles and sandy beaches. The Pokémon pictures you take there will be used to build your very own Pokémon Photodex! This brand-new game brings the gameplay of the 1999 Pokémon Snap game for the Nintendo 64 system to life on the Nintendo Switch system with unknown islands to discover and different Pokémon to see!

Photograph lively wild Pokémon in their natural habitats as you research and explore unknown islands. Journey through a variety of environments such as beaches and jungles to capture previously-unseen Pokémon behaviors. The photos you take can also be used to fill out your very own Pokémon Photodex!

New Pokémon Snap is under development by Bandai Namco for the Nintendo Switch but no release window has been shared.

The only pokemon spinoff that matters.

 

[Rabbid4240]

thats so wacky and random haha

 

[RyRyIV]

This would’ve been an obvious choice for the Wii U, but better late than never! This is gonna be a day one buy for me for sure

 

[Prans]

Everybody: Nintendo won't announce any new games

Nintendo: Surprise! Here's New Pokémon Snap!

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

The day this goes up for purchase, I'm buying it. Pokemon Snap was my fucking childhood, I played and beat the original game probably more times than I've beaten Red/Blue/Yellow, so a sequel is basically my dream.

Can't wait

 

[James_]

I cannot fucking wait.

The problem is that my wallet is almost empty, and this meme pretty much sums this all up

 

[Axido]

What were the odds of Nintendo listening to what gamers have been requesting for half a decade?

That being said, I'm hyped for the game.

 

[DSoryu]

I still remember laughing my ass off when you made pokemon to fight for apples in the N64 game, sometimes some would even evolve and kick their bully's asses back haha. Can't wait for this, it looks gorgeous.

 

[Chrisssj2]

I dont understand the hype.. taking pictures of pokemon? who the hell cares for this game?

 

[Reploid]

Somewhat original idea get's revived. But I doubt it'll have much lasting appeal.

 

[DSoryu]

I dont understand the hype.. taking pictures of pokemon? who the hell cares for this game?

Haha, someone hasn't played the first I see.

 

[KiiWii]

Is... this.... legit?!

I loved this game back in 1999!

Please be real, please be real, please be real!

 

[Deleted member 530764]

nintendo sure does love the word "new" huh

 

[Chrisssj2]

Haha, someone hasn't played the first I see.

Yup. So that's my understanding is at...

 

[DSoryu]

Yup. So that's my understanding is at...

There are many things you can do that the game doesn't tell you directly, it leaves you to discover them by yourself, because one of the main aspects of the game is not only to take pictures, is how you interact with the Pokémon to get certain unique scenarios to happen and thake photos as a sort of "proof".

It somewhat has the feel of "You won't believe the photo I took from my dog yesterday".

 

[Deleted User]

The trailer music sounds nice.

 

[KingVamp]

I've only played Pokemon Snap a little and didn't own it, so not really for me, but I'm glad they finally did it for others.

 

[Bullseye]

Don't see any appeal to the game. I see it more like a 30 min game where the novelty wears off after you have tried some things.

Then again I might not be the public Nintendo is looking to attract with this game

 

[Reecey]

This sounds interesting I just hope when I’m exploring new areas and taking photos of Pokemon in there natural habitat I don’t find two of them in a compromising position around the corner now that would be a bit wrong!
