New Pokemon Snap

Nintendo has announced a new partnership with Fujifilm that will give the Switch the ability to print images wirelessly. This is being made possible by Fujifilm’s wireless printer instax mini Link and a new app that will be released on April 30, 2021.

This app will be capable of scanning screenshots from the Switch via QR code (similar to the sharing function currently on the Switch) and sending them directly to the printer for printing. Features in this app include adding borders from 3 Nintendo games (Super Mario, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and New Pokemon Snap), and putting different effects on images either from the Switch or a phone.

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.

As a way of celebrating the upcoming launch of New Pokemon Snap, a special event will be held in Pokemon GO. Players will have an opportunity to more frequently encounter Pokemon from the Lental region in the wild and in raids. That’s on top of a new avatar item, sticker, and the debut of Shiny Smeargle.

Below are the full event details:

The original Pokemon Snap had just 63 creatures to catch. For the series’ first new entry in more than twenty years, that number has increased substantially. New Pokemon Snap on Switch will feature over 200 Pokemon.

It’s worth noting that when the N64 title originally debuted, there weren’t nearly as many Pokemon back then. There have been several generations over the years and we’re not very far away from 1,000 designs in total. So how did the New Pokemon Snap team go about choosing Pokemon for the new title?

Nintendo has uploaded a pair of North American commercials for New Pokemon Snap ahead of its release later this month. View it below.

Nintendo is ramping up for New Pokemon Snap with three new videos showing the game off. The first is a nearly 7 minute video overviewing the Lental region and what there is to explore in it. The other two videos are TV commercials for Japanese audiences that show off Pokemon such as Onyx, Lugia, and Machamp.
