In an effort to encourage games to play responsibly, Nintendo has added health and safety warnings to the popular Smartphone game, including "Do not play Pokémon Go while driving" and "Do not enter dangerous areas while playing Pokémon Go".

Other warnings include "Remember to be alert at all times. Stay aware of your surroundings," and "Do not trespass while playing Pokémon Go".

Meanwhile, Japanese gaming giant Nintendo recently delayed the release of its 'Pokémon Go Plus' accessory.

Nintendo made the announcement via their Twitter page, and said: "The #PokemonGO Plus accessory will now be released Sept 2016 instead of the originally expected end of July launch."

One of Nintendo Life's readers also received the following email from the company: "We regret to announce that the Pokémon GO Plus accessory launch has been delayed. This item will now be released in September, not July as previous communicated.

"We'd like to apologise for this delay, and we understand that this change could affect whether you'd like to complete your order.

"If you would still like to receive the accessory you do not need to take any action. Your order will then be delivered to you by 30th September."

The 'Pokémon Go Plus' accessory is a wearable device - which is shaped like a Google Maps pin but has that iconic Pokéball design - and it connects to your phone via a low energy Bluetooth link and pulses its LED when you're near a Pokémon or PokéStop.

Despite 'Pokémon Go' smartphone app becoming an unprecedented worldwide smash that saw the company's shares soar, Nintendo recently posted a wider-than-projected loss amid weak demand for its Wii U consoles and a stronger yen.

The Kyoto-based company said in a statement last week their net loss was 24.5 billion yen ($232 million) for the three months through June.

The popular mobile game has overshadowed the fact that the company has been struggling to make sales in its traditional market of consoles and hand held devices.
