New Pokemon Snap isn’t Bandai Namco’s first crack at the Pokemon series. The company was also responsible for Pokken Tournament for Wii U and arcades – as well as the Switch port that released later on.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was Pokken Tournament that ultimately led Bandai Namco being able to work on New Pokemon Snap. Director Haruki Suzaki mentioned that to IGN and also confirmed that the team was able to speak with some of the original Pokemon Snap developers while tackling the Switch project.

Super Rare Games is expanding its lineup of physical release on Switch with five more additions. Abzu, Deponia Collection, Inmost, Super Crush KO, and Vigil: The Longest Night will be offered in boxed form.
Most of these releases are self-explanatory. However, Deponia Collection is a bit of an outlier in that it will feature four titles: Deponia, Chaos on Deponia, Goodbye Deponia, and Deponia Doomsday.
All of these games will be sold physically through Super Rare Games later in 2021.
