It's a new game.

And I don't even like Pokemon Snap

It's "New" as the name says

I do not believe it is a remake myself. Too many major differences in terms of setting and Pokémon alone. That said, I am oddly excited about this game.


I have not the foggiest why as I was not as big a fan of the Original Pokémon Snap. This one though intrigues me a bit more. Cannot wait for new information to come.

That’s right, Trainers—#PokemonSnapIsBack! #NewPokemonSnap is an all-new adventure inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game.

Also "inspired by the classic Nintendo 64 game" should refer to the gameplay.

I also don't get the question. The general idea is the same, ride a vehicle through the outdoors to take pics of Pokemon, but even from the 1 minute trailer it's pretty clearly a completely new game. The only scene that's the same is when Pikachu eats the apple, and that's because it's such an iconic moment. Everything else is new, from most of the Pokemon to the environment. There's also an emphasis on water areas which was no in the original game. Even the playable character is not the same character as in the original game. The develops and publishers are treating it as a sequel, and all the information we have shows it to be a sequel.

They could have made it clear if they just called it Pokémon Snap 2. By calling it new snap they make seem like the new 3ds which is small upgrade.

That's definitely a port

Seems pretty clear to everyone else.
