Beloved Nintendo 64 classic Pokemon Snap is finally set to launch on Nintendo Switch on 24 June 2022. The game will be exclusive for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers, as with other classic Nintendo games, and will bring all the Pokemon photography of the original game to a fresh new audience.
Pokemon Snap received a modern sequel in 2021 – New Pokemon Snap – that allowed audiences to get a glimpse of all the cutesy, gorgeous action of this adventure. Those who played that game and loved it should definitely check out its origins.
While Snap isn’t the heartiest game – it runs around 3-4 hours depending on how long you spend trying to grab the perfect picture – it features just as many great little moments as its successor. It’s a gem that remains highly regarded, and it’s fantastic to see it finally arrive on the Nintendo Switch’s virtual console.
