Which console hosted the original Pokémon Snap game?

The story behind the answer

The original Pokémon Snap game was released for the Nintendo 64.

Developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo, Pokémon Snap is a photography game rather than a traditional role-playing adventure. Players control Todd Snap, who travels through natural environments and photographs Pokémon for Professor Oak's research.

The game was released in Japan in 1999 and later reached North America and Europe. Its rail-based courses automatically move the player through habitats, while items such as apples and Pester Balls can influence Pokémon behavior and create better photographic opportunities.

Pokémon Snap is often mixed up with its later sequel, New Pokémon Snap, which was released for Nintendo Switch in 2021. The question asks about the original game, whose home console was the Nintendo 64. Its unusual design made it one of the franchise's earliest major spin-offs.
