Zombie Yo-kai

Here in North America, it was only just recently revealed that we'll be receiving not one, but two versions of the sequel to Yo-kai Watch through Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits & Fleshy Souls. Featuring time travel and over one hundred new Yo-kai, these look like they'll expand on the original in a satisfying way, though they're already old news over in Japan, which is due to get Yo-kai Watch 3 soon.

Level-5 revealed a few new details about the upcoming third game that are sure to get fans talking. For one, players will be able to create their own Jibanyan (the "Pikachu" of Yo-kai Watch) and adjust things like appearance and tribe to make it much more personal. Also, a new Zombie mode will be making its way in to replace Oni Hour, where players must survive a night battling against zombified versions of various Yo-kai. Most importantly, the newest game will be taking place partly in the US, so the developers have included a not-so-subtle reference to the X-files. Two partners, named Rounder and Squarely, will be routinely investigating the paranormal events that the Yo-kai create, recording them in "Y-files".

Obviously, it'll be quite a while before the west receives Yo-kai Watch 3 (2 hasn't even been announced for Europe yet), but it's interesting to see the changes and new features the developer will be adding to the new instalment.

What do you think? Do these new features seem interesting? When do you think Europe will receive Yo-kai Watch 2? Drop us a comment in the section below.
