Dee and garion do Yo-Kai Watch

I think my son and I have been watching too much of the show... Whenever we are late, make a minor error or are mildly surprised, any appropriate situation really... I find myself coming out with "oh my swirls!" in a Komasan style. It's not even to entertain my son anymore, becoming an involuntary reaction to all everyday mishaps, I just can't stop it.

Arise!

A new Yokai Watch game was announced: Yo-Kai Watch: Shadowside

Apparently set 30 years after the original Level-5 has decided to try and appeal to a higher age demographic. The results, from the artwork, are interesting to say the least:

These, I believe, are from the 4th movie promo material, or the upcoming anime series which keeps the art style from that movie (which was a crossover with GeGeGe no Kitaro (keeping up? I'm not, I'm totally lost at this point, but reporting what I can find):

Whisper?!?!?!?

No word on YW3 localization. I still expect it to happen since the third season of the anime is coming soon.

Supposedly we're to see YW Busters being localized, but I doubt it.

That's defo whisper.

Glad to hear there's a new game and more anime on the way even though am yet to pluck Psychic Spectres from the pile!

Oh yeah I meant to drop by and say I may have recently bought a replica of Nathan's Tshirt in adult size completely by accident. I thought it was L in kids size when clicked on 99p* buy, honest!

*Yep - any hopes Yo-kai had of any kind of widespread appeal at launch over here in the UK has pretty much evaporated. Bottom of the bargain bin for most of the merch.

Still a fan!

Yo-kai Watch 4 was just announced for Switch. To hit Japan in 2018. S

More details to follow as it's in this week's Famitsu.

Busters is out, haven't bought it.

Here's the first footage of YW4. It's, uh, a wee bit different than past entries.

Offscreen gameplay offering a better look. Def looks like a cross between Ni no Kuni 1 and 2.

A wee bit different? Just a smidge!

As someone who liked the combat systems in both Ni No Kuni games, they have my sword, my bow, and my axe. The big question is whether this even gets localized.

Yo-kai Watch 3 releases in NA February 8th. Europe at some point in 2019.

Very American! lol

Also, I spent $40 on a copy of Busters and I hate it. Not I don't like it, but I hate it. It's soooooooooooooooooo basic it was putting me to sleep. An action game putting me to sleep is bad.

That said, the charm is still there! But def only buy if playing with people. I kept reading that it was still good in sp, but I don't think it is.

Wow, I didn't think we'd get 3 localized. That's really surprising.

The fact we got Busters and YW3 is surprising. That YW3 is coming shouldn't be a surprise since it was set in America. The game was always going to get localized.

Let's hope they don't release three versions of the game and we instead get a single, "full" release.

I wonder how ridiculous YW3 is going to be. Considering that Apelican was in YW2... "yes we can!"

YW3 is out in Europe this week (next year for NA). Something I missed was there's only one version! Thank gawd, they finally learned their lesson.

Still bummed I wasted $40 on Busters.

Wait, what? We're getting it before you? What's going on?

I've still got to play Psychic Specters so doesn't really matter, unless I should skip and just get 3 now?

mmm...

I haven’t played Psychic Specters, either. I doubt we’re missing much...

If you played 2, you played Psychic Specters.

I didn't play either 2a or 2b, I was waiting for 2a+2b=2c aka Psychic Specters (l knew it was coming because you had it an age before we did over here I think... and still I haven't played Psychic Specters, still on the pile, tut.

Yeah it's probably best they've gone back to just the one game.

I started the first game a few months ago, then promptly stalled on it. I loved what I played though...

My kids want me to get through it so I can start on my Psychic Specters, as I've been told there are "things in it they want" for their Fleshy Bones, and "whatever" Souls...

Interesting. So it looks like 3 has a female protagonist and a new, more tactical combat system? Would it be better to wait for 3 instead of getting 2, then?

This is what I was pondering, trading psychic specters in unplayed towards newly released 3.

South Korean show The Haunted House on Netflix. A darker Yo-kai?

I'm flinching here and there viewing with the boy, tis borderline letting him watch it. It's in the kids section but yeah, properly spooky and deals with death a fair bit.

It is different, but they do have watches and a green goblin alt Whisper

Looks like I fished a copy of Bony Spirits out of a clearance bin, so that settles that!

For those who may want to jump in with YW3.

........

crickets

Cheers, still pondering.

YW3 was going to be an insta-get, but that trailer makes me uncertain...

Por que? It was mostly a story recap of the prior games.

That part was fine. The footage from YW3, however... holy stereotype, Batman!

I'm really not liking Yo-Kai Watch 3. The Terror Time is so much harder than the previous 2 games. Navigation seems to be a pain in the butt, especially in BBQ. I cannot stand Usapyon's voice. Darn tootin'. Also, the roulettes for the Crank-a-kai... grr.

I very much preferred YW2.

Sounds like you're as disappointed in YW3 as I was in Busters.

I skipped Busters.
