Nintendo Download – December 26th, 2013
According to the press release below, Pokemon Bank is still set for a North America release tomorrow. With the recent network issues, and Pokemon Bank being pulled in Japan, it is hard to be confident that Pokemon Bank will make this release time. As of now the only information we have is it will be out tomorrow.
Update
Nintendo has announced that Pokemon Bank will be delayed.
[expand title=”Click for full press release”]Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International have postponed the launch of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter – two software applications that were originally scheduled to launch for Nintendo 3DS on Dec. 27 – due to a large volume of traffic to the Nintendo Network service. Due to the high traffic, players are having trouble setting up Nintendo Network IDs and downloading content in the Nintendo eShop on both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. We truly regret the inconvenience, and wish to reassure everyone that providing a solution is our top priority. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your continued patience.
