Yo-Kai Watch Busters Hitting 3DS This Year, Main Franchise Coming To The West In 2016

..........From the look of the image, that's what Pokemon designs from Unova and Kalos should've been.

^ Hah!

But seriously, where's my Yokai Watch 2: Shuichi!?

Yokai Watch 3 is a thing.

Great another year for me to wait..

Wait what? We get the games in 2016 I was hoping for a summer 2015 release...
I played 1 and Shuichi with no Japanese skills and the games are so good... Guess the wait ist on...

Only 3 years late, oh well, at least we got some things to look forward to for 2016 in addition to Zelda U.

They're definitely pushing the western release of these titles too far back IMO. I was hoping for a near Halloween release. So now that will be two years I've been waiting for the first title now. I hope they're not going to wait and use the 3rd just because it takes place in the US. That would be all kinds of stupid.

I don't see this doing too well in the west, the creatures look too much like generic Japanese product mascots, where as other sucesful Mon titles (whilst not realistic) look like animals and monsters. This could risk being dismissed a "too kiddy" very quickly

Finally! I have been waiting for this series to come to the states.

I don't foresee this doing overly well in NA, but it's made so much money, I'm sure they said, why not? Kudos to them for trying, maybe it will take off.

Me personally, I'm excited. I wanna see what all the fuss is about.

While I don't see the series being Pokemon-level successful, I believe there will be enough success for the series given how hard I'm sure Hasbro will push the toy line and anime. And with those things being tied to the game, it should do well enough. But I feel the series could actually end up garnering the attention of older gaming/anime/manga fans even more so than young ones, particularly those of us that have been following the Yokai Watch news since its beginning...

Can't wait for Yokai Watch to reach the west, even if I can't believe we are getting it with such a huge delay as it happened with Inazuma Eleven (speaking for Europe, since in US the Inazuma release is even worse).

Level 5 is so good at making great franchises as it is great in making sure to limit their success Worldwide XD;

Finally. They should bundle the two games to make up for the huge delay. Will not happen, I know.

And still no Wonder Flick.

Wonder what?

So its top down ARPG for general combat with 3rd person Hunter-style gameplay for boss fights? Color me intrigued.

This looks fun, I hope it makes its way overseas.
