Delays for Pokémon GO Plus

It’s possible that more and more players are going to start playing Pokemon Go following the latest update and you should know what new features it brings to the table as Niantic focuses on user experience. Due to huge demand all over the world, Nintendo and Niantic reached an agreement to stop the release of Pokemon GO in some countries for a while and schedule them on different dates to avoid excessive server strain. And no, the effect of the crazy, insane popularity of Pokemon Go is not visible in it.

For the fiscal 2016 first quarter, Nintendo booked a consolidated operating loss of ¥5.13 billion, compared to a profit of ¥1.15 billion a year earlier, on sales of ¥61.97 billion, down 31.3 percent.

Nintendo, though, is still expecting to profit 35 billion yen, or $332 million, for the year ending March 31, 2017, despite the hard quarter, according to CNN Money. The overwhelming success of the mobile AR game has inevitably made Nintendo a household name and with that, the company intends to take advantage of the fame to further market and expand. With Pokemon GO Plus, battery consumption will be lessened as players no longer have to check their screens from time to time. There’s also a button in the center of the device that you can press to throw a Poke Ball at a wild Pokemon.

The 3DS remains the more popular choice of Nintedo hardware. Instead, he says it may be best to wait and see until Nintendo reveals details of its upcoming mobile games – with the first two expected in autumn – and the NX console next year.

Yahoo noted that Nintendo’s stock suffered losses valued at around $6.7 billion recently after Nintendo investors let go of their recently purchased shares. It is a high powered portable gaming console through which Nintendo hopes to attract the new generation of gamers. It’s worth noting that the company has no Wii U titles planned for release before the NX launches in March. Only 118 games were released by third-party companies.
