New Pokémon Snap is an on-rails first-person photography game developed by Bandai Namco Studios and published by Nintendo and The Pokémon Company for the Nintendo Switch. It is a sequel to the 1999 Nintendo 64 game Pokémon Snap. Announced in June 2020, it was released on April 30, 2021. Players explore an archipelago in an autopilot hovercraft and photograph Pokémon in order to conduct research about their ecology.
Gameplay in New Pokémon Snap is similar to its Nintendo 64 predecessor; courses consist of on-rails photography sessions, new courses are unlocked as players progress, items awarded to the player allow for real-time interaction with the environment, and photographs are able to be saved for later viewing. The laboratory of Pokémon researcher Professor Mirror acts as a space for players to review their research on wild Pokémon and their habitats, manage their photo album, customize their account, and interact with online features. The lab also functions as a hub for course selection and serves as another photography course the player can unlock.
