Nintendo has announced that New Nintendo Pokemon Snap will be released on Nintendo Switch on April 30, 2021.

New Pokemon Snap will take place in the Lental region and will take players on an Pokemon-filled adventure through jungles, deserts, and more.

In New Pokemon Snap, players will take on the role of a budding Pokemon photographer and will work with the Lental region expert known as Professor Mirror, and his assistant Rita, on an ecological survey to photograph Pokemon in nature. You will also be traveling in ann auto-driving vehicle known as the NEO-ONE to allow you to focus on getting the best shots.

Players will be able to interact with Pokemon by throwing Fluffruit to catch their attention or watch them eat, and can use the fruit to help draw them out of variety of situations.

Professor Mirror will evaluate your photos and your score will be based on “the subjects’ poses, how large they appear, how directly they’re facing the camera and where they fall in frame.”

As more photos are taken and more research is completed, Pokemon may even start to look and behave in new ways. Capturing these and more will help fill out your Photodex. Furthermore, some Pokemon and vegetation will appear to have a special glow. This is known as the Illumina Phenomenon and it will be up to you to figure out exactly what is causing it.

New Pokemon Snap is the first new entry in the Pokemon photography game since the original N64 game in 1999. For more, check out our New Pokemon Snap preorder guide and our initial reactions to the game’s announcement last year on our Nintendo podcast NVC.

Nintendo has explained that Bowser’s Fury – the new standalone adventure coming with the Switch release of Super Mario 3D World – will be a free-roaming experience that is “short but action-packed”.

The new Bowser’s Fury website describes the story of the expansion: “Mario is sent to Lake Lapcat, where everything is cat-themed—and Bowser has gone berserk! Team up with Bowser Jr. to help his dad chill out in this short but action-packed standalone adventure.”

The website also confirms the adventure is free-roaming. You’ll be travelling around Lake Lapcat in search of Cat Shines – which will let you unlock the new Giga Bell Power-Up – and reignite lighthouses to clear darkened areas. That sounds a little closer in approach to Super Mario Odyssey than 3D World’s more curated courses.

On Twitter, Nintendo added that Bowser’s Fury can be selected from the Super Mario 3D World title screen – it’s not an endgame level, or unlocked by playing the Wii U re-release.

The new website also confirms how amiibo will work in the expansion. Using a Bowser amiibo will cause the new Fury Bowser to appear in game, and a Bowser Jr. amiibo will unleash “a powerful shockwave to knockout nearby enemies and blocks”. Other amiibo will also cause effects – one of which will seemingly be to turn into a gold Cat Mario statue, as seen in yesterday’s Overview Trailer (above).

We’ve learned a fair bit about Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury in the last few days, including the addition of a photo mode, and how Fury Bowser will be a timed world event in the new adventure. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury will arrive for Switch on February 12, and you can preorder it right now.

We awarded the Wii U version of Super Mario 3D World a 9.6/10 in our review, saying it’s “marvelous, and its constant variety and fantastic light-hearted co-op play proves that Nintendo still knows exactly how to tweak the Mario formula in fun ways.”

Falcon and the Winter Soldier star Anthony Mackie has revealed that Marvel once considered casting someone other than Chris Evans to play old man Steve Rogers in Avengers: Endgame.

During an appearance on The Jess Cagle Show, Mackie briefly touched on whether or not Falcon would be taking up Captain America’s shield in the future, which made him reflect on the original casting of Cap; in particular, the older version of the character who featured in the closing moments of Endgame. He revealed that, at one time, there had been talks of casting someone else to portray the aged hero.

“They actually wanted to cast an old dude to play Chris Evans,” Mackie revealed. “So they brought in like three actors. They’re like, none of these, like, this isn’t how Chris will look when he’s old. Like, he’s gonna be, he’s like George Clooney. He’s going to be 95 and still like handsome, you know? So, they brought in a makeup team and prosthetics and makeup and made him into an old man. And how good of an actor Chris is, it actually worked. He pulled it off with his voice and everything. He did a great job.”

Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo wrapped up Steve’s MCU journey on a very definitive note, with Steve travelling back in time to return the Infinity Stones to their original places and then choosing to remain in the past to finally take up the dance that he promised Hayley Atwell’s Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger.

However, when he returns to the rest of our heroes, he is an old man. The Russos used a combination of facial prosthetics and CGI to transform Chris Evans into a senior citizen because they wanted to achieve the “perfect” look to make sure that they didn’t “undermine the emotional intention of the scene” between old man Steve and Sam Wilson aka Falcon.

Mackie is reprising his role as Falcon in the upcoming Disney+ original series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, opposite Sebastian Stan, who plays Bucky Barnes. The six-episode series is set to debut on Disney+ on March 19, as part of an ambitious new lineup of TV series’ designed to be more closely integrated with Marvel’s movies.

Last month during its big investor event, Disney unveiled a list of new Marvel shows and movies and confirmed a few long-awaited shows are still on the way. One of the most interesting announcements was that of a Secret Invasion series. In a new interview with Collider, MCU mastermind gave us the smallest hint of what we can expect from the series.

“We’re interested in the political paranoia aspect of Secret Invasion,” Feige explained.

In the comics, Secret Invasion follows the infiltration of the Skrulls into the ranks of Earth’s mightiest heroes. The Skrulls use their shapeshifting abilities to take the place of Marvel characters like Elektra, Hank Pym, and Spider-Woman with the intent to infiltrate SHIELD and the Avengers and take control of Earth. Once the plan starts to come to light, it puts every hero from the god Thor on down to Hawkeye under suspicion. The Skrulls we met in Captain Marvel were refugees, but the show will cast them as invaders. Spider-Man: Far From Home showed Fury working with Talos, but he and the other refugees may be a splinter group with very different desires from the invading ones.

Each season of the CW’s The Flash challenges Barry Allen, the fastest man alive, with a new villain. After facing Bloodwork (and that whole Crisis on Infinite Earths thing) last season, Season 7 will pit The Flash against the villain known as Chillblaine, TVLine reports.

Actor Jon Cor, who had a role on Shadowhunters alongside Arrow’s Katherine McNamara, will play the part of cryogenicist Mark Stevens. The official description calls him “a charismatic bad boy obsessed with cryogenic technology.” It continues: “when he’s not breaking into corporate safes, he’s busy breaking hearts with his irresistible charm and roguish style. Armed with his own cold weapons, he’ll become a new thorn in the side of Team Flash as the DC Comics villain Chillblaine.”

Chillblaine will likely not be the primary villain for the upcoming batch of episodes. The season has Flash fighting and ultimately defeating Eva McCulloch, the new Mirror Master, but “in doing so, he’ll also unleash and even more powerful and devastating threat on Central City: one that threatens to tear his team–and his marriage–apart.”

Projekt Red’s co-founder Marcin Iwinski has issued an apology for Cyberpunk 2077’s buggy launch, in particular on PS4 and Xbox One. Lucy, Jake, and Jean-Luc break down their new roadmap, including upcoming patches, free DLC, refunds, and PS5 and Xbox Series X versions.

Fortnite Season 5 has new daily challenges that are a bit harder than usual. These challenges will send you to different named locations where you’ll need to track down a handful of Gnomes. They take time if you don’t know where to look. This guide will help you through each challenge.

The challenges are listed as “Find Gnomes in Sweaty Sands,” although the named location will change from day to day based on what challenges you complete. A regular weekly challenge also involved finding gnomes, but these challenges are different. Gnomes will be found sitting on piles of dirt with a bright blue glow around them. You’ll be able to interact with them once you are close enough.

Here is a guide for how to find all the gnomes for every named location that can come up for these daily challenges.

Electronic Arts’ exclusivity rights to making Star Wars games has come to an end as LucasArts has opened its portfolio to other studios–in fact, The Division 2 developer Massive Entertainment has already announced it’s creating an open-world Star Wars game. This is exciting; I’m happy to see that other big studios are being given the opportunity to try their hand at Star Wars, and I can’t wait to get more games like Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Star Wars: Squadrons. But I also can’t help but think that any Star Wars game we get from a AAA studio may just cover genres and storylines we’ve already seen before. Massive Entertainment, for example, is doing what it does best and making an open-world game. But there are so many more exciting opportunities, and I hope LucasArts chooses to let a few indie studios take a stab at Star Wars to realize them.

I have no doubt that Massive can create a good Star Wars game, but I also assume it will cater to the strengths and gameplay systems that Ubisoft studios already know sell well. I’m willing to bet that this new game will be another open-world action game with RPG mechanics and a skill tree that stars a character who can be a man or woman and has enough side quests to keep audiences playing for over 30 hours–and then painted as Star Wars. That’s not shade, I’m down for it, that sounds super fun, but it isn’t all that weird for a Star Wars game. And Star Wars is at its best when you explore the stranger parts of its universe.

Indie studios traditionally don’t have as big a bottom line to meet in comparison to AAA developers, allowing them to be a bit more experimental with what they make. We’ve seen this before with other major film, TV shows, or comic book properties. Bithell Games transformed John Wick into a top down strategy game with John Wick Hex, for instance, and Telltale Games made The Walking Dead into a choice-driven episodic adventure series. Neither are obvious genre choices for their respective franchises–personally, I’d expect John Wick to be a shooter and for The Walking Dead to be a survival horror game–but both worked surprisingly well.
