New Pokémon Snap

» System: Switch » Buy it from: Online, retail

Nintendo’s snap-’em-up has always been one of our favourite Pokémon spin-offs and this new edition does nothing to dampen that. It takes the mechanics of the N64 original, but adds improvements ensuring there’s plenty of longevity as you tour around looking for the perfect Pokémon shot. Each level is filled with shortcuts to discover and it’s even possible to upgrade stages if your skills are good enough, which unlocks more Pokémon to snap and other secrets. Your camera has also been upgraded and it’s now possible to add filters and share images online. While the new story feels a little throwaway, the strategy behind getting the best images is as strong as it ever was. Here’s hoping we don’t wait over 20 years for a sequel.
