'Pokémon Snap' makes its triumphant return on Nintendo Switch
Watch Next

New Pokémon Snap was revealed Tuesday during the Pokémon Company's stream of new releases, bringing back the one-off game that originally released on the Nintendo 64 in 1999.

This long-awaited sequel to Pokémon Snap, which will be coming to the Nintendo Switch "soon," brings back the on-rails photography gameplay of the original but with new locations and tons of new pokémon. The first game released with the original 151 pokémon, but now there are hundreds and hundreds of pokémon that could be seen in the wild.

Of course there are plenty of old favorites too, as seen in the trailer. After more than 20 years of waiting since the first game, hopefully New Pokémon Snap won't make us wait too much longer.
