Looking forward to New Pokémon Snap launching later this month? Want to show off your passion for the game in style? Well, it looks like Nintendo has you covered.
Yes, just like the custom Tom Nook emoji which appeared on Twitter for last year’s Animal Crossing: New Horizons launch, a new Meganium emoji is now available for this month’s pocket monster photo fest. You can use either #NewPokemonSnap or #PokemonSnap to make one appear in your tweet. Incidentally, the game was treated to its latest trailer just last week, giving us six minutes of juicy gameplay footage in the process.
A new entry in monster collection franchise
The upcoming title is a sequel to the Nintendo 64’s Pokémon Snap, a unique entry in the long-running monster collection franchise where players were tasked with photographing Pokémon from an on-rails hovercraft. The original 1999 game never received a follow-up, making New Pokémon Snap a much-anticipated sequel.
Improvement in the new Pokemon snap
However, New Pokémon Snap will improve upon the original game’s camera in a number of ways. Photographs can be individually edited, allowing players to add stickers and filters as well as change brightness, blur, and focal point. These editing mechanics weren’t present in the original game and will serve to make the new title more in-depth and modern. Nintendo of America released the emoji in anticipation of the game’s release on April 30.
Features within the new Pokemon snap
Pokémon Snap allows the player to simply admire them in their natural habitat. The on-rails shooter gameplay is also very different from what is typically found in the Pokémon video games, which helps breathe new life into the series. These unique aspects of the original Pokémon Snap make many fans anticipate the release of its successor. Nintendo of America seems to be very excited for New Pokémon Snap’s release, with viral advertisements and Twitter emojis drumming up hype for the title.
