List of New Levels

There have six more courses in New Pokemon Snap to cruise for new Pokemon and interactions. Photograph more of the expanding Lental Region in these areas:

How to Unlock the New Levels

See How to Unlock Florio Park Secret Side Path for more details. The other (Day) courses will unlock automatically as long as you are far enough in New Pokemon Snap, but the night courses won’t unlock until players reach Research Level 2 for their daytime counterparts. So River (Night) shouldn’t be available until the player achieves Research Level 2 for River (Day), and so on.

List of Changes

The New Pokemon Snap adds new titles, requests, and features in its recent content drop. These are all the changes, user interface or otherwise, included in the New Pokemon Snap update:

  • NEO-ONE Shrink Function – Players can shrink themselves and their vehicle to explore Florio Nature Park from a different perspective. Fly on Emolga’s back, bounce on the belly of a Snorlax, and more!
  • When retrying a level, you can choose which Research Level from that menu
  • If you quit a level, you can immediately return to camp without evaluating photos

From the official Nintendo Patch notes:

  • Search options for Other Players’ Photos have changed.
  • Other issues have also been addressed to improve the game-play experience.

This section will be updated with more changes found in the future.
