New Pokémon Snap is a game that many of us have been waiting for since the Nintendo 64 era, and the original Pokémon Snap. We are, of course, all very happy to finally have a new game in the series, but it is a little strange that it's coming to us direct from the developers behind the Soul Calibur and Tekken games.
The reason for this? The developers at Bandai Namco really, really like Pokémon! They like the series so much that they have their own little club, or Pokémon gym, if you will, which meets during downtime at work.
It's because of this passion that this particular team was chosen to helm Pokkén, which is logical enough, but when asked to develop a follow-up Pokémon title, the developers really wanted the chance to make a new Pokémon Snap game instead of another fighting game.
Lots of love,

![Why the Among Us Airship Took So Long To Make [Fixed]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/stPW8qGejDw/mqdefault.jpg "Why the Among Us Airship Took So Long To Make [Fixed]
Yes, its another video about Among Us. Cut us some slack, its been a slow news week, the Airship map is the only relatively recent new thing to make a video on, and were tired because our daughter is home from school every day for the Easter holidays.
The Airship map is the ultimate Among Us Easter Egg, filled with Henry Stickmin references that are designed to delight longtime InnerSloth fans and confuse everybody else.
With such a large new level, it was inevitable that actually creating the Airship was going to take a while, but behind the scenes, a lot of chaos made things even slower. Lengthy business meetings, the challenges of finding new employees for the tiny studio, plus negotiating with lawyers over fake Among Us merchandise all contributed to the delay in getting this games new map finished.
So in case youve ever wondered how much effort it takes to build a video game, bear this in mind: it takes more than you think, and its exhausting.
