    Q: What is the ESRB rating for New Pokémon Snap?

    A: This game is rated E (Everyone).

    Q: What kind of game is New Pokémon Snap?

    A: It is an action and adventure game.

    Q: Which platforms are compatible with this game?

    A: This game is compatible with Nintendo Switch.

    Q: Who developed New Pokémon Snap?

    A: This game was developed by BANDAI NAMCO Studios Inc.

    Q: Is it only on the switch or is it also compatible with the Lite?

    A: Basically every game is compatible on both systems, the outliers being games that require the use of joycons, and even then they will still work on the switch lite when used with a separate set of joycons. The Labo sets wont work as most are designed for the original switch. You can also find this answer yourself on the products page as most respectable retailers will have specifications/details about a game's supported modes; switch lite in this case counts as handheld. TL;DR This will play on switch and switch lite.

    Q: Will the pre-order include any physical items like the photo frame or a poster?

    A: Target - Frame Magnet Gamestop - Two-sided Poster

    Q: Would this be good for a 6 year old?

    A: I would say probably I remember playing the original one ( back on Nintendo 64) when I was a kid I didn’t know what I was doing but I just liked taking pictures of the Pokémon but i don’t know what 6 year old are into no a days xD

    Pokémon Pokopia - Nintendo Switch 2

    Play as a Ditto that has transformed to look like a human! Find and befriend your fellow Pokémon, carve out a life for yourself, and work together with Professor Tangrowth to build a town for everyone to live in. Learn the moves of your fellow Pokémon to change the land, such as Bulbasaur’s Leafage to make the wild grass grow. You can also use abilities to transform and navigate the world around you, such as crossing water with Lapras’s Surf. As you work to help nature flourish, more Pokémon will appear for you to meet and learn from! Create habitats, cultivate crops, and more in a world with varied weather and real-time day and nights. Gather materials to create items and furniture, till the fields to grow delicious crops, create habitats for the Pokémon you meet, take photos of fun moments, customize your hairstyle and clothing…there’s so much to do here! No need to rush, though—go at your own pace and enjoy the journey. With a real-time day and night cycle, varying weather, and other surprises, just taking a nap in your bed and letting time pass can be pretty relaxing.
