There are a lot of games that fans feel should’ve gotten a sequel, but never did for one reason or another. Since the days of the N64, Pokemon fans have been begging Nintendo to bring back Pokemon Snap, the game where you go explore landscapes and take pictures of Pokemon in their natural habitats and beyond. There were rumors about a sequel for a long time, and then in 2020, New Pokemon Snap was revealed! But details were scarce…until today.
Because Nintendo has officially unveiled a brand trailer and all sorts of details on New Pokemon Snap, including what area of the Pokemon world you’re going to be in, how advanced the game is, and of course, the release date!
