The Nintendo Switch console has been around for over five years now, and almost every child and gaming enthusiast seems to have one. A year ago, Nintendo released a remastered version of one its most loved Nintendo 64 games, Pokémon Snap.

This photography-based game is one of my absolute favorites to play regularly, and I loved the original version too as a child. We've been raving about this game on DCW since it was first released, and the growing popularity of photography-based video games doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon.
