New Pokémon Snap, a sequel to the 1999 classic N64 that was tasked with taking pictures of pokémon, is coming to Nintendo Switch on April 30, Nintendo announced today in a new trailer.
Inside New Pokémon Snap, players control a pokemon photographer who crosses Lental, a region full of beautiful scenery, from lush jungles to sandy beaches. Players collaborate with the region’s Pokémon expert, Professor Mirror, and his assistant Rita to conduct ecological research, photograph and observe Pokémon in their natural habitats.
The gameplay remains similar to that of its predecessor, in which players travel in a vehicle with automatic steering while visiting various locations in the region taking pictures to build their “Photodex”. Points are awarded based on the quality of the photos you take and, just like in the original game, players can use items like apples to draw the Pokémon closer for a better photo.
2021 is a great year for Pokémon while the series celebrates its 25th anniversary. Yesterday, Pokémon Company International announced that it would launch a series of musical events. He was collaborating with pop singer Katy Perry along with other “rising artists to award-winning global superstars” to celebrate the franchise’s milestone.
