Pokemon GO Plus was supposed to be out towards the end of this month. Unfortunately, a delay for the app accessory was announced earlier in the week. It will now arrive in September instead.
Speaking with Polygon, Nintendo provided an official statement about the delay. The company said that the extra time is being used to optimize Pokemon GO Plus, allowing for “new experiences” that offer “a quality level high enough to satisfy as many people as possible”.
Nintendo’s full statement reads:
Letter Quest Remastered arrived on the European Wii U eShop this past Thursday. View some footage in the video below.
A few notable deals are available over at Amazon. First, the Kirby series amiibo are all under $10 each. You can also nab Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker for $30 ($10 off), Yoshi’s Woolly World for $30 (save $20), and Mario Party 10 for $30 (save $10). No word on how long these will last, unfortunately.
Update: Pokemon GO version 1.1.0 is live on iOS.
A new update for Pokemon GO is starting to make the rounds. We’re hearing that version 0.31.0 is already out for Android players, meaning it shouldn’t be very long before iOS users can download the patch as well.
With the update, Niantic has finally addressed the very troublesome three-step glitch by removing the steps entirely. It also offers new customization options for avatars, adjusted battle damage, and more.
Head past the break for the full patch notes.
Pokemon GO has been updated, but only on the server side. Although there’s no new patch to download, Niantic has implemented some changes on its own end.
Serebii reports that some PokeStops and gyms have been removed. Niantic has also altered various Pokemon spawns, meaning if you found an Onix common in one area, you’d now find Doduo. Damage inflicted by moves has also been modified. Apparently, a bunch of moves have been boosted and some have been nerfed a bit.
GameFly added a listing for Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse to its website a couple of days ago, suggesting that a 3DS retail version in North America is on the horizon. A European release also appears on the way. Just recently, Amazon Spain put up a listing of its own for the game.
Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse looks to be coming out around the same time in North America and Europe. On GameFly, a September 20 release date was included. Amazon’s Spain has it for September 16 (for €29.99, by the way).
Oh, and one other tidbit. GameFly listed Maximum Games as the publisher of Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse in North America. We assumed that was a mistake, and it turns out that was probably right. Judging by this tweet, Rising Star Games will actually be publishing. They’re also handling SteamWorld Collection in North America.
Thanks to Tiago S for the tip.

During E3 2016, Spanish outlet La Tercera spoke with Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. Reggie commented on topics such as the company’s presence at the show, the challenge facing the big N today, mobile, new franchises vs. old ones, and Wii U’s struggles. There was also a bit of NX talk which prompted him to say that fans haven’t lost faith in Nintendo.
Nintendo Everything readers Gumbatei and bul_ikana were kind enough to help us out with the interview, and provided a native translation. Head past the break to read it in full.
