Pokemon Snap Coming to Wii U Virtual Console Tomorrow

Another N64 classic joins the VC catalog.

By Alex Osborn

Pokemon Snap will release on the Wii U Virtual Console in North America tomorrow, January 5.

According to Nintendo's announcement, the photography-focused Pokemon spinoff, which originally released for Nintendo 64 in 1999, will be available for $9.99.

In Pokemon Snap, players are tasked with photographing the various Pokemon they encounter as they're taken on an on-rails adventure through an array of locales. While those in North America have had to wait until now for a Wii U release, Pokemon Snap launched on the Wii U Virtual Console in Europe last year.
