'New Pokémon Snap' announced for Nintendo Switch

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."


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.

In the trailer they showed tracks made out of light so still not free exploring? Also the graphics. I know it's not a mainline game and thus the budget is lower, but come on... This looks like a indi studio game. Its great that it happens, but thats not enough GameFreak.
if you read below they said not game footage, i think that was merely a teaser made, and the game was not even started besides probably concept art or something, also snap without on rail would be very poor, i dont want an open world game imo, i prefer an ontracks shooter imo so the timing on your photograph is harder, if its free roam you have all the time of the game to take the perfect picture so that is no fun.

Annnnnnd your point is?
I am not allowed to express my thoughts and opinions?

I did play it on the Nintendo 64. Garbage game. This, coming from a die hard Pokémon fan. Past years all I have been playing is Pokémon lol.
Just snap sucks

I don't believe you for a second. lol. Of course you're going to say you've played it & that it completely sucks.

Honestly, don't worry about it. If they're lying, they aren't worth your time, and if they're telling the truth, they're the one missing out. It is good if you like things, because it's fun. If you don't, it's a disappointment.

Just enjoy the game when it comes out. You'll be having just as much fun.

Love that they're starting to think outside the box again, but hopefully they don't push the envelope with a $60 price point on this one. I'm sure they need to create some new animations for it, but mostly they're just re-using assets, so the development budget for it can't be that big. Make it $40 and everyone should be happy.

Disagreeing with your opinion, means I am lying?
It just feels like a pointless mini game to me. Mind you, I skip these type of stuff in main series games. Such as contests, mantine surfing, whichever stuff was included in the games.
I don't see the fun in taking pictures of Pokémon to progress through levels.
I also remember trying it on the GPD a few years ago after watching some speed run event, again gave up and as I didn't like it. Ended up playing Dragon Quest VIII, also saw in the speed run.

I really want to think you are trolling hard or maybe blind. On the visual/graphic aspect, this game looks even better than Sword/Shield lol.

My reaction when Snap dropped: OH SNAHAHAHAHAHAP!

One of the - if not *the* - best Score Attack games for the N64.
Can't wait for the new Version, day 1 buy for sure.

Oh and please; Labo Camera / Labo VR Support. That would be soooo good as a VR experience

Edit: Can we not embedd Twitch Clips?
