Japan is going crazy over the release of "Pokemon Go," which hit the U.S. and Australia before finally reaching Pokemon's actual birthplace on July 22. One reason for the delay in Japan may have been that "Pokemon Go" wasn't developed by Tokyo-based Game Freak, which typically creates "Pokemon" games, but by California's Niantic, a studio best known for its augmented reality games. Others speculated on the fear that the fan base in Japan would overload servers.
One thing is for sure: The hype is running high and everyone is playing it. But there is other news in the game world.
