Pokemon GO is getting a field test in Japan, will expand to other countries
Japan's going to have a field day
If you happen to live in Japan, you can now sign-up for a chance to test the hotly anticipated AR mobile game Pokemon GO.
Niantic calls it a "field test" and it should be a way to gather feedback ahead of a more global soft launch or worldwide launch.
Niantic promises to expand the tests to other countries but no dates are set in stone yet.
This comes after Niantic cancelled a GDC presentation that was supposed to reveal the game's gameplay because the game wasn't ready yet.
Expect Pokemon GO later this year on iOS and Android.
