Pokemon Go international rollout paused due to server issues

Louie Diangson

People all over the world have been itching to try out Pokemon Go which, so far, has only officially rolled out to select countries. It’s set to be available in more countries soon but might have to wait a bit longer as Niantic is pausing the rollout due to server problems.

Niantic Inc. CEO, John Hanke, told Business Insider that the company is aware of the server problems that crashes the game and is already fixing it. And while it happens, international rollout is “paused until we’re comfortable.”

As of the moment, Pokemon Go is officially available in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, but it’s good to know that Niantic is working hard to fix issues and bring the game to more countries soon.

Miitomo is finally heading to mobile phones and tablets on March 17. This is after the months of delay from the original end of 2015 launch due to promotional reasons. Pre-registrations are already open here and will close on March 16, just in time before it’s open to the general public.

Unfortunately, it’s initially available in the following countries only:

  • United States
  • Canada
  • United Kingdom
  • Ireland
  • France
  • Belgium
  • Germany
  • Austria
  • Luxembourg
  • Spain
  • Italy
  • Netherlands

You might have heard before that Miitomo is not exactly the Nintendo arcade-like game we’re expecting but it’s more of a chat app with moving avatars that interacts with other users in real time.

With Miitomo, you’ll be able to create or your own avatar or miis and use them to communicate with other users. Nintendo’s popular characters will also come to the game in the future. With these features, the title seems to pose itself as a communication app rather than a mobile game.

A new service called Nintendo Account was also announced. It will connect its consoles with PCs and mobile devices. Users will be able to transfer data through a cloud based service.
