Japan won’t have next Pokemon GO Plus shipment until early November
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 2 Comments
Pokemon GO Plus is quickly becoming a hot commodity. And in Japan, consumers may soon find it nearly impossible to get their hands on the accessory. Nintendo just put out a notice stating that Pokemon GO Plus’ next shipment in the country isn’t expected until early November.
It’s unclear what the situation is outside of Japan. However, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear that additional Pokemon GO Plus shipments won’t be available in the west until later in the year as well.

GameStop taking Dragon Ball: Fusions pre-orders, localization essentially confirmed
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Dragon Ball: Fusions might be Bandai Namco’s worst-kept secret at the moment. Even though it was largely thought that the game would be heading west following a leak from a classification in Brazil, extremely strong evidence has appeared which further backs up that initial finding.
GameStop stores are now taking pre-orders for Dragon Ball: Fusions under the SKU 133501. It looks to be a $30 game, similar to that of last year’s Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. If we weren’t getting Fusions in North America (and Europe), it probably wouldn’t be in GameStop’s system – and up for pre-order.
Bandai Namco may have an official announcement to make about Dragon Ball: Fusions in the coming days.

Pokemon GO Plus causing problems for Android users
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Have you been trying to use Pokemon GO Plus as an Android user? Well, you’re not the only one. There are a ton of reports surfacing about connectivity issues. Pokemon GO Plus stays paired with Android-based phones for a few minutes… and then randomly disconnects.
We do know that another update for Pokemon GO is on the way which Niantic says fixes some issues with Pokemon GO Plus. We’ll have to hope that the patch addresses connectivity issues on Android.
