New Pokémon Snap Deals and Discounts

As is often the case with Nintendo titles, significant discounts are still fairly rare. Most retailers are still not offering substantial discounts.
However, several retailers did offer bonus content to anyone who picked up the game before release. The most enticing might have been from GameStop – which offered a double-sided poster for your game room – although Target’s magnetic picture frame was a close contender.
