Grab your apples and your Pester Balls, PokéFans in Europe and Australia, as the Nintendo 64 classic Pokémon Snap is heading to the Wii U Virtual Console this Thursday!

In Pokémon Snap you take control of the aptly named Todd Snap as you make your way around Pokémon Island in the on-rails ZERO-ONE vehicle, taking pictures of all the native Pokémon wildlife for Professor Oak’s approval. A good chunk of the Kanto Pokédex is represented, and there are a lot of secrets and tricks you can uncover to find rare Pokémon, get the best photos and unlock the final stage.
