Many of you probably remember that Pokémon storage system Pokémon Bank was officially delayed in the US and Europe and taken off the Japanese eShop after Nintendo suffered many problems with the Nintendo Network service after Pokémon Bank's release on the 27th of December.

Nintendo haven't really made many comments about the apps release since, but in what has come as quite a surprising move Pokémon Bank has gone live on the eShop once more in Japan and can now be downloaded.

No details have been given in regards to Pokémon Bank's release outside of Japan, however if the Japanese release goes well it's likely the release outside of Japan will follow soon after. The eShop generally gets updated in the US and Europe on a Thursday, so perhaps we could even see it released as early as then.

Time will tell, but it's certainly nice to see Pokémon Bank re-released for Japan!

Of course the Japanese get this stuff first, it's kinda their right given that Game Freak are a Japanese developer. :p

Plus, launching first in East Asia again is generally a really good idea - the amount of load that region will place on the servers is far, far less than what will happen when America and Europe join in. Think just under a million users as opposed to somewhere between four and ten million!

We'll see Bank soon enough. Patience, young ones.

Personally, I'm just waiting for the Nintendo Network to crash again so that we can get more "Please understand!" statements. :D

(But jokes aside, I'm really looking forward to finally getting my hands on Bank and the Pokemon Transfer feature. I miss my VGC12 team. ♥)

The above will be reported properly soon, so I'm going to lock this article's comments for now until the new article is up :)
