About New Pokémon Snap

The sequel to the 1999 N64 classic. You ride the NEO-ONE pod through the Lental region's courses photographing wild Pokémon, researching the glowing Illumina phenomenon as you go. Shots are scored on pose, size, direction and framing — and the same course changes at night, on repeat visits, and after story events.

What makes it special

Score the perfect shot

Photos are graded on pose, size, direction and how much of the Pokémon is in frame — chase four-star masterpieces.

Illumina Pokémon

Glowing Illumina orbs reveal spectacular, luminous behaviors unique to Lental's ecosystem.

Living habitats

Toss Fluffruit, play the Melody Player, or scan with Illumina orbs to trigger behaviors you'd never see on a first run — Pokémon react to each other, not just to you.
