Which Nintendo console first hosted Pokémon Snap?

Pokémon Snap first appeared on the Nintendo 64.

Released in Japan in March 1999, Pokémon Snap is a photography-focused spin-off in which players ride the Zero-One vehicle through Pokémon Island. Instead of catching Pokémon in Poké Balls, the player photographs them for Professor Oak to evaluate.

The game was developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. It was originally planned for the Nintendo 64DD, a disk-based peripheral, but development moved to a standard Nintendo 64 cartridge after delays affecting the 64DD. This development history is why the game is sometimes incorrectly associated with the 64DD rather than the Nintendo 64 itself.

Pokémon Snap was notable for rendering Pokémon in real-time 3D and for making photography the central mechanic. It featured 63 of the original 151 Pokémon. A sequel, New Pokémon Snap, later brought the photography concept to Nintendo Switch in 2021.
