INSTAX Mini Link x Nintendo Switch Special Edition launch

If you were around back in the 90s and a Pokémon fan, you may recall the Pokémon Snap Stations that were found at Blockbusters. Fans of the game would wait patiently in line to take a keepsake photo with them. With that nostalgia in mind, INSTAX is bringing that same fun feeling. Gamers can capture their favourite moments with the introduction of the INSTAX Mini Link for Nintendo Switch Smartphone Printer. This latest collaboration gives Nintendo Switch users a fun way to make custom prints of their game play right from their Mini Link Special Edition using the new, dedicated Smartphone app (free app, Android and iOS).

The new Mini Link Special Edition and related product App will be released to authorized Fujifilm product dealers on April 30, 2021, in conjunction with the launch of the New PokémonSnap*2 game for the Nintendo Switch system.

The Polaroid Go is the company's most compact analog instant camera

Polaroid shrinks its analog instant-film camera further with the launch of the new Polaroid Go. At only 4.1 inches long by 3.3 inches wide by 2.4 inches tall, it's designed to be, well, ready to go with you. You'll need to stock up on a new Polaroid i-Type colour film with the Go as its compact size means the usual Polaroid film won't work. 

The Polaroid Go promises a longer-lasting battery life. It also has Polaroid Now's dynamic flash and introduces double-exposure and self-timer options. Polaroid adds a selfie mirror to this camera, and it plans to offer travel accessories to go with it, too. The Polaroid Go is available for pre-order now at US$100 (around CA$125), with the film pack costing US$20 (CA$25) for a double pack with eight prints per pack.
