New Pokemon Snap has revealed the official game artwork for the highly anticipated title. Last week, the Pokemon Company decided to shake the table and give fans an expanded trailer for the upcoming Switch game. Shortly afterwards, the locks really opened and the pre-orders were live. But in the zeal, Nintendo also showed people what the game would look like on their shelves. Appetizers like Scorbunny and Grookey take center stage, along with Pikachu. There is also some love for old favorites like Meganium. Lapras has also played a big part in most of the trailers. The Kanto region also gets Dodrio in a nice echo of the first Pokemon Snap title. And for those who are especially serious about catching their bugs, Vivillion is everywhere in all those different configurations.
