The upcoming New Pokémon Snap will be soon released on Nintendo Switch. Budding photographers don’t need to wait too long to enjoy the game.

Nintendo has announced that New Pokémon Snap will be coming to the Nintendo Switch on April 30th, 2021.

Taking place in the Lental region, New Pokémon Snap will take players on an exciting Pokémon-filled adventure through deserts, jungles, and more.

In New Pokémon Snap, inspired by the 1999 Nintendo 64 classic, players will control a pokémon photographer traversing through a region full of beautiful scenery named Lental. Players will collaborate with the Lental region’s pokémon expert, Professor Mirror, and his assistant named Rita on ecological surveys to observe and photograph Pokémon in nature.

The gameplay remains similar to the original one. Players travel in an auto-driving vehicle, NEO-ONE, while visiting different locations in the Lental region photographing pictures to build their “Photodex.”

In New Pokémon Snap, players can also interact with Pokémons by throwing Fluffruit to catch their attention or even lure them in closer for better shots.

Points will be awarded based on the photos’ quality. Professor Mirror will evaluate the player’s photos and give scores based on things like the subject’s pose, where they fall in the frame, how large they appear, and how directly they face the camera.
