The new Pokémon Snap is called New Pokémon Snap, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch.
The Pokémon Company has revealed that an updated version of Nintendo 64 classic Pokémon Snap is coming to Nintendo Switch. New Pokémon Snap appears to be directly based on the 1999 fan-favourite game and is in development at Bandai Namco.
Like the original, the game puts players in the role of a wildlife photographer as they try to capture images of Pokémon in the wild. From the press release:
Photograph lively wild Pokémon in their natural habitats as you research and explore unknown islands. Journey through a variety of environments such as beaches and jungles to capture previously-unseen Pokémon behaviors. The photos you take can also be used to fill out your very own Pokémon Photodex!
You can see the first footage of New Pokémon Snap from the 05:17 mark in today’s Pokémon Presents! broadcast. Other announcements included a new tooth-brushing app for kids called Pokémon Smile, a dreary mobile puzzle game called Pokémon Cafe Mix, and confirmation that Mega Evolutions are coming to Pokémon Go.

Carrion, the upcoming monster horror game from Phobia Game Studio, will launch on Nintendo Switch in addition to PC and Xbox One this summer.
Devolver Digital has announced that Carrion, the self-proclaimed “disturbingly fleshy reverse-horror game” from Phobia Game Studio will be released this summer on Xbox One, PC, and, in a new development, the Nintendo Switch.
In Carrion, players take control of an amorphous being that must prey and consume the inhabitants of a mysterious facility. It’s a twist on the 2D action-platformer format that features stunning art direction and animation. From what we’ve seen so far, it looks like a deliciously gory Metroidvania that will appeal to fans of Alien and John Carpenter’s The Thing.
The good news is that it’s summer right now, so hopefully, Carrion will be infiltrating our homes very soon. The 2020 Devolver Direct showcase planned for mid-July will likely confirm the game’s final release date.
Special Reserve is also releasing a physical version of the game on Nintendo Switch day-and-date with its eShop release. In the meantime, you can download a sneak peek of Carrion right now via Steam.

The latest batch of My Nintendo rewards includes a spooky adventure for Luigi, a round of golf with Mario, and some Hanafuda postcards.
Nintendo of Europe has released a mid-month crop of new rewards, including some 3DS game discounts.
If you enjoyed Luigi’s Mansion 3 on Nintendo Switch, travel back to 2013 to experience Luigi’s previous brush with King Boo and his army of ghouls. Like the recent Switch adventure, Luigi’s Mansion 2 is an inventive, silly and charming romp from beginning to end. It’s available with a 40% discount in exchange for 80 Gold Points.
Other new rewards include 50% price reductions for the excellent Mario Golf: World Tour and the original Yo-Kai Watch.
A set of eight Mario-themed Hanafuda postcards are also on offer in exchange for 400 Platinum Points. They are stunning, but buyer beware, the postage and packing costs are high.
