New Pokemon Snap is a Nintendo Switch game that allows players to dive deep in the Lental Region to capture images of Pokemon. Based on the incredibly popular Pokemon Snap for the Nintendo 64, this re-imagined version comes with over 200 Pokemon you can take pictures of, including Legendary Pokemon. Players are introduced to Professor Mirror who is keen to do a survey of the entire Lental Region; you'll explore jungles, beaches and even the depths of volcanoes!

On August 3rd, 2021, a free update was added to the game to add three new courses and 20 new Pokemon.

New Pokemon Snap is a single player game in which you take refuge in the NEO-ONE and take photos of Pokemon in their natural habitats. There are several different research courses for you to meander your way through and each time they offer new opportunities for you to capture snaps of Pokemon. Not only that, but you'll work with Professor Mirror to unlock the mysteries surrounding the Illumina Phenomenon that is currently happening all over the Lental Region.

Players can upload their snaps online for other New Pokemon Snap players to rate and like. You can use the Lab area to modify photos, including making sure you've got that perfect shot.
