Storage system Pokémon Bank was officially released in Japan on the 25th of December and was due to be released in the US and Europe on the 27th. However, due to the high demand the Nintendo Network service is facing due to both new and existing 3DS, 2DS and Wii U owners the app has now had its release delayed in the US and Europe and has been taken off the Japanese eShop for the time being.
The length of the delay hasn't been stated, with the date for the app on the eShop changed to TBD and Nintendo haven't made a solid comment on a time-frame either. Chances are it hopefully won't be delayed all too long though!

Nintendo said:Nintendo and The Pokémon Company International have postponed the launch of Pokémon Bank and Poké Transporter - two software applications that were originally scheduled to launch for Nintendo 3DS on Dec. 27 - due to a large volume of traffic to the Nintendo Network service. Due to the high traffic, players are having trouble setting up Nintendo Network IDs and downloading content in the Nintendo eShop on both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. We truly regret the inconvenience, and wish to reassure everyone that providing a solution is our top priority. We apologize for the delay and thank you for your continued patience.
