Pokemon Snap is a first-person simulation game where the player is a Pokemon Photographer visiting Pokemon Island. The game was released in March 1999 and has been a hit ever since. Pokemon Snap was the very first console-based Pokemon spin-off game, and that in itself made history. The game was also the first time many were able to see their favorite Pokemon rendered in 3D form. Pokemon Snap broke barriers in the video game world, and it is no surprise that Snap is back to do it again 22 years later.

This is not even the first time that Pokemon Snap has been re-released, although it is the first time it has been fully remade. Pokemon Snap, although debuting on the Nintendo 64DD, has also been released on the Nintendo Wii in 2007 and the Nintendo Wii U in 2016.

This iteration of the game is set to be released on 30 April 2021. This time around, fans are getting a completely revamped game with the same plot that was so well received the first time. So how does one get their hands on this fantastic remake? Keep on reading.
