Here is the official synopsis for the game:

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.

The original Pokémon Snap was released 21 years ago in 1999 exclusively on Nintendo 64. I almost enjoyed this game as much as the original Game Boy games. Just because it was a different way to “capture” them. With it being on the Switch now it’s going to be fun to be able to share your captured Pokémon via social media with your friends. It will be interesting to see all the new features that this game has. But in the end, it’s going to be as simple as taking a picture.

Currently New Pokémon Snap does not have a release date. Will you be picking this up and capturing your favorite Pokémon? Let us know in the comment section below!
