New Pokémon Snap is coming!

Get ready for New Pokémon Snap, an all-new adventure for Nintendo Switch that’s inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game, Pokémon Snap.

Photograph lively wild Pokémon in their natural habitats as you research and explore unknown islands.

You can even toss Pokémon a delicious fluffruit to catch their attention. Photos you take can also be used to fill out your very own Pokémon Photodex!

In the Lental region, Pokémon and vegetation have sometimes been seen to glow. Meet Professor Mirror and work with him to uncover the mystery of the Illumina Phenomenon. Your photos and observations may be key to learning about this strange occurrence.

New Pokemon Snap releases on April 30th for the Nintendo Switch.
