This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Pokemon<\/em> franchise, and so far\u00a0it has been celebrated with\u00a0an International Space Station New Year’s livestream, special Pokemon<\/em> trading cards at McDonalds<\/a>, and the announcement of a virtual Post Malone concert taking place on “Pokemon Day,” February 27. New Pokemon Snap<\/em><\/strong> is also releasing this year for the Switch, but surprisingly it did not appear in Wednesday’s Nintendo Direct despite being scheduled to release soon.<\/p>\n

A follow-up to the 1999 Nintendo 64 spin-off game that let Pokemon<\/em> fans take pictures of the universe’s diverse fauna, New Pokemon Snap<\/em> was announced in June 2020 and has been slowly doling out information ever since. One trailer this January revealed its April release date, then more New Pokemon Snap<\/em> details and photos were published by Famitsu<\/a> earlier this month. The on-rails gameplay will be similar to the original Pokemon Snap<\/em>, with players taking photos of 200 monsters in their natural habitats and influencing them\u00a0via mechanics like throwing Fluffruit.<\/p>\n

However, New Pokemon Snap<\/em> will also let players research the Illumina phenomenon<\/a>\u00a0cropping up across the Lental region, trying to figure out why Pokemon and vegetation are mysteriously glowing.\u00a0This information alone offers enough of a baseline and an intriguing hook for prospective players, so The Pokemon Company doesn’t necessarily have to give out any more information prior to release. However, with a game like Bravely Default 2<\/em> putting out another new trailer during the recent Nintendo Direct to advertise its launch at\u00a0such a biggest event, it’s odd that New Pokemon Snap<\/em> didn’t do the same.<\/p>\n

That being said, it’s likely the game’s developer is holding off. While some fans may want total silence leading up to New Pokemon Snap<\/em><\/a>‘s launch on April 30, at risk of too many details being revealed that spoil all of its surprises, the promotional material released thus far leaves a lot to be desired in terms of an extended look at how the gameplay loop on Switch will work. Much of the pre-release footage has been cut into snippets, so putting out a longer showcase of how an early-game stage would work seems like it could convince those who aren’t already sold on the concept. Luckily there’s still a perfect window to release such a video: Pokemon Day.<\/p>\n

Beyond the aforementioned concert, it’s not entirely clear what The Pokemon Company has planned for the official 25th anniversary of the Pokemon<\/em> franchise. It would make sense to put together a Pokemon<\/em>-focused Direct that talks about upcoming releases meant to celebrate, similar to the Super Mario<\/em> 35th anniversary Direct last year<\/a>. Without other game series as distractions, that would be the perfect time to offer one final showcase of New Pokemon Snap<\/em> pre-release, as well as touch on other titles like the upcoming Pokemon Sleep<\/em> or the oft-rumored Pokemon Diamond<\/em> and Pearl<\/em> remakes (if they are, in fact, coming soon).<\/p>\n

Even if the developers decide to keep longer level showcases under wraps before New Pokemon Snap<\/em> releases, there are other details about the game that may help players decide whether to jump on board. For example,\u00a0Nintendo hints at online features for New Pokemon Snap<\/em><\/a> on its store page while listing the game as a single player experience, so\u00a0more could be discussed about what these features entail –\u00a0perhaps how players can share their photos online.<\/p>\n

Regardless of whether or not the game does get another showcase, fans of the series only have to wait a few months before getting people’s live reactions to the long-anticipated revival. However it would undoubtedly make sense for more to come by the end of February, if at all, so it will be worth looking out just in case.<\/p>\n
