The original Pokemon Snap was a strangely engaging game for many fans of the classic series. Instead of catching Pokemon via Pokeballs, the player was charged with photographing them.
While the user may use bait to attract Pokemon and play music to influence their behavior, similar to the mechanisms seen in the mainstream Pokemon games’ safaris, Pokemon Snap eschews many of the franchise’s other traditions, such as fighting and training.
The first Pokemon Snap was so successful that it was followed up by a highly anticipated sequel in 2021, and the New Pokemon Snap managed to capture a lot of the original’s appeal.
Fans looking for a nostalgic voyage through the original Pokemon photography simulator may be in luck since the game was just announced as part of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, adding to the extensive lineup of N64 titles accessible through the subscription service.
Since 2021, the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack has been adding old N64, NES, and SNES games for Switch owners to play, after fans complained that the standard membership service was too expensive.
While the discussion over whether Nintendo Switch Online is worth the price of admission continues, it is apparent that the firm is attempting to expand its subscription service’s content. Nintendo’s President announced last month that more titles would be added to Nintendo Switch Online.
Fans will be able to view some of the new material very soon since a video for Pokemon Snap revealed that it will be included in the Expansion Pack on June 24.
Pokemon Snap was teased in a clip with other famous N64 games like Mario Golf and Kirby 64, indicating that it will be coming to the Switch sometime. On the other hand, fans had no idea which of these games they’d get first or when they’d be able to play them.
Kirby 64 was the first of the three games announced to be released, arriving on Switch Online on May 20. Pokemon Snap will debut a month later, so if Mario Golf follows suit, it should be in Switch owners’ hands by the end of July.
In addition to new N64, SNES, and NES titles being released regularly for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack, fans may see games from other platforms added to the subscription service.
A Game Boy emulator for the Nintendo Switch was supposedly leaked a while back, indicating that some portable classics may be joining the new console’s growing library of retro titles.
