Pokémon Go Plus, a device that allows players of the popular mobile game to play without looking at their phones, has had its release delayed until September.
Nintendo announced the delay recently but provided no clear reason for the delay.

The device, which attaches to a player’s shirt lapel or clothing, connects to a phone via Bluetooth to allow people to hunt for and catch Pokemon and locate PokéStops without relying on their phone.
Nintendo announced the device at E3 back in June and had originally slated it for release last month.
Pokémon Go Plus is currently sold out for pre-order, but the delay may allow Nintendo to expand their manufacturing plans and release more copies.
