New Pokemon Snap

Many have wondered why Pokemon Snap has taken so long to return. After the game appeared on the N64, we haven’t seen a new entry in over twenty years. There have been opportunities for Pokemon Snap to return, with some feeling that the Wii U GamePad would have been a perfect fit for example.

Interestingly, it seems that there have been internal discussions previously about returning to Pokemon Snap over the years. Haruki Suzaki, who’s directing the Switch entry, told Metro that he “heard there had been a couple of attempts at making a new Pokemon Snap before.”

Regarding the origins of New Pokemon Snap, Suzaki said:

This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta show off the first area of New Pokemon Snap. Check out the full episode below.

In preparation of New Pokemon Snap’s launch next week, Nintendo just opened a new “Explore the Lental Region” site for the game. It includes details about the Lental region and its wild Pokemon, with eight spots for fans to learn about different Pokemon interactions and habitats. Those that stop by can also earn My Nintendo Platinum Points that can be used for various rewards, including upcoming New Pokemon Snap items.

You can access the website here. Note that it will only be active until May 31.

New Pokemon Snap launches for Switch on April 30.

New Pokemon Snap

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.
