Yeah, visuals are insane for a 3DS title. Insane :lol
do stuff like in real life (crossing roads by pressing button, etc...)
I'm always childishly excited about details like this in games.
Says a lot about Nintendos' efforts, besides Kid Icarus, no Nintendo game has this production values on the 3ds

From the Media Create thread.
I wonder how it'd do overseas.
that is just the first game that has been beast mode since anime release but YW2 is coming I wonder if YW1 will still sell when 2 is out
As someone who knows almost nothing about this series, and just watched this because I happened to be awake when it was on, my takeaway is that the graphics look great for the 3DS, and the towns look really awesome to run around in, but the aesthetics of the majority of the monsters is really unappealing. Looks fun though, so I hope it gets localized. It seems like the kind of thing that'd be really, really hard to make into as big of a phenomenon in the est as it seems to be in Japan, because of the combination of how Japanese it seems, and the target age group.
It's been in beast mode every since the holiday season started, last year. Insane legs.
Well, yeah. They're youkai. Spirits and creatures based from Japanese folklore and the most well known youkai outside of Japan is Kappa. It is very Japanese much like Okami was but I think it's worth a shot.
There's no reason for them not to try bringing it to the West, it's not like Pokemon had masterful designs in the beginning.
I don't know YW because I never played it but it can't be "just" a Pokemon clone.Wow this game destroys Pokemon visual wise. This game will sell really well the only downside is that it's "just" a Pokemon clone.
