Yo-Kai Watch Coming to Europe
Nintendo and Level-5 have confirmed today that Yo-Kai Watch, the extremely popular Japanese game that’s spawned it’s own Anime and Manga not to mention enough merchandise to fill a small country (the toys and merchandise alone net $1 billion dollars).
Now Level-5 are planning to bring the franchise to western gamers with a game coming for the Nintendo 3DS coming 2016! The series revolves around a young boy, Keita Amano who wears a watch that allows him to see Yo-Kai, creatures from Japanese folklore, that he can capture and use to battle other Yo-Kai.
Now if this sounds kind of maybe slightly similar then you wouldn’t be wrong, it sounds an awful lot like Pokémon!
Yo-Kai Watch is aiming to be in our hands for 2016 with Hasbro taking on the duties of merchandising the toys!
