Last week Nintendo announced that the Pokemon GO Plus accessory would be delayed, where instead of launching in July, its release has been pushed to September. Unfortunately at that time, Nintendo did not provide any specific reason as to why the accessory’s release was delayed, but now the company has come forward with an explanation.

According to Nintendo in a statement to Polygon, “The delay is due to the preparations for the Pokémon Go application update in order to optimize Pokémon Go Plus. In order for us to offer new experiences to play Pokémon Go with Pokémon Go Plus with a quality level high enough to satisfy as many people as possible, we decided that it is necessary to take enough time for the completion. We ask for your understanding.”

Basically it sounds like Nintendo was waiting for the Pokemon GO app to be updated to ensure it played nicely with the accessory. Prior to this, some had speculated that maybe the delay had to do with production issues, but we guess this isn’t the case. Either way the accessory is still on track for a September release so you’ll have a month plus or so of waiting.

In the meantime the app has been updated, but unfortunately the update has also caused several prominent Pokemon GO tracker apps to stop working.

Forums are a great way for gamers to form a community and discuss all aspects of the game. It also provides developers with a way to keep in touch with their players to notify them of any updates, or comment on certain things about the game, such as what Blizzard has been doing with their forums.

However it seems that if you do play any of BioWare’s games, you might be a bit disappointed to learn that the company has announced that they will be shutting down their forums. According to BioWare, this is because there are so many avenues in which they can connect with their fans, such as social media, which is why they think the forums are no longer necessary.

“In the past, our forums were the only way we could speak to you directly. They allowed our developers to talk with fans, and gave our players the opportunity to talk with each other about our games. But with the rise of social media and geek culture, there have never been more ways for us to connect. Now we can travel around the world, meeting with you face-to-face at events like PAX, SDCC, and even shows in our own backyard. We can share stories with you on the go, giving you a look behind the scenes on sites like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.”

That being said, it won’t all be gone. The Star Wars: The Old Republic forums will continue to operate, but gamers for Dragon Age and Mass Effect and other older BioWare titles will no longer be able to access the forums come 26th August, 2016.

The other day we brought word that popular indie game Stardew Valley would be launching on both Mac and Linux computers on the 29th of July, and for gamers who forget, it looks like the game has already been released according to a post on the Stardew Valley website, so gamers can check it out if they want.

The game will be available through Valve’s Steam platform, so if you have Steam on your Mac or Linux computer, you should be able to find the compatible version of the game available for purchase, otherwise you’ll want to download Steam if you want to get your hands on it. Its developer has also stated that it will be arriving on GOG in a few days, so if Steam isn’t your thing, GOG will be the alternative.

Stardew Valley is also expected to find its way onto consoles like the PS4, Xbox One, and the Wii U later this year, Q4 2016 to be exact, so if you’re more of a console gamer you’ll still have to wait a little while longer. As for mobile, it seems that its creator does not have plans to make a mobile version of the game, which is admittedly a bit of a pity, but who knows, maybe one day we will be able to expect it. After all we’ve seen games like Minecraft find its way to mobile, so why not, right?
