New Pokémon Snap follows the same formula as the original 1999 game. It’s still short - clocking in at just over one and a half minutes - but is more than enough to get fans excited for the upcoming title.

The release date reveal trailer offered much the same - revealing a few more Pokémon not seen in the first trailer - and even showing off a few gameplay mechanics. The announcement trailer was released last June, giving fans a sneak peek of the Pokémon-snapping action and a quick tour of the game’s locales. There are currently two trailers available for New Pokémon Snap - an announcement trailer and a release date reveal trailer. There’s also no word on a 3DS or Wii U version.

Seeing as Nintendo doesn’t like to release Pokémon titles on consoles outside its own, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see the game ported to Xbox Series X or PS5. New Pokémon Snap is only confirmed for a Nintendo Switch release. Which consoles is New Pokémon Snap launching on? And while Pokémon Snap might not have the same massive audience as Sword & Shield, there’s no denying the strange spin-off’s appeal. It’s a fitting year for the game to launch, as 2021 marks Pokémon’s 25th anniversary. Nintendo has finally announced an official release date of April 30 for New Pokémon Snap.
