Pokémon Snap is one of the more beloved Pokémon titles outside of the main franchise games. Now those who want to relive the Nintendo 64 days can purchase Pokémon Snap in the Wii U Virtual Console starting Jan. 5.
The North American Virtual Consoles for the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS are updated every Thursday and this time, Pokémon Snap will highlight this week’s offerings.
For those unaware, Pokémon Snap allowed players take photos of up to 63 different Pokémon in seven stages, earning rewards for how well the shots come out. Back in the age of the Nintendo 64, Pokémon Snap was a beloved game that let Pokémon fans do more than just battle.
Nintendo has been adding a lot of Nintendo 64 games to its Virtual Consoles lately. Mario Kart 64 came to the Wii U Virtual Console on Dec. 29 and Mario Party 2 the week before that.
The latest Pokémon games, Sun and Moon , allow trainers to take photos of wild Pokémon all over Alola using the Rotom Dex. This was a neat little callback to the 1999 game and gave those hoping for the title to make its way to the Virtual Console (or get a sequel) some satisfaction.
Pokémon Snap will be sold at $9.99, only on the Wii U Virtual Console.
