Maybe you're a Pokémon fan excited to play the New Pokémon Snap, a sequel to the N64 classic. The game is coming on April 30 on the Nintendo Switch. If you want to see what you can expect from the game, The Pokémon Company unveiled a three-minute gameplay video during the recent Pokémon Presents event.

Guys, we know playing Pokémon Go is fun and all but please be extra aware of your surroundings as well. It was recently reported that two Canadian teens accidentally crossed the U.S. border and had to be apprehended in Montana by federal agents. According to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection that two teens illegally entered the U.S. last Thursday on foot and they were “unaware of their surroundings” while playing the famous augmented reality-based game. The two teens were brothers from Alberta and were later reunited with their mother.
People who aren’t in the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand are watching in envy (or trying to find workarounds) as these countries get to walk around their cities and try to catch ‘em all. Pokémon GO has been out for just a couple of days and has already hit the top spot in app stores. It’s faced technical issues with servers not being able to handle the amount of people who want to catch Pokémon. But news like that isn’t exactly surprising. What we want to know though is when will we get the game, too? The only thing we’re getting from Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, and Niantic is “coming soon.” Canada, Europe, and South America will be the areas to get the game. So, just keep your eyes and ear peeled for now (and possibly your wallets ready, if you plan on purchasing things within the game) .
