And Just Dance Yokai Watch when?

Spoiler

I'm serious

 

[Garuroh]

Yokai Watch didn't bomb, it did ok.

I'm happy its coming, was worried about that.

 

[Boogdud]

Oh my swirls!

Glad to hear it, will buy it day 1.

 

[WrenchNinja]

I am a cat and I like it like that, I like new games like a little old brat

 

[Bladenic]

Part of me is wondering if I should buy either one or wait for the hopeful third version. I wish they had just skipped straight to that one.

Same day as FF15, that's gonna be a busy week.

It's also rumored that SMT IV A is two weeks before that.

 

[Flunkie]

Hell. Yes.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

OUT OF NOWHERE

Can't wait for second season and second game. Have to decide which version to get! OMG THIS CAUGH ME OFF GUARD! September is just around the corner!

Oh and I noticed that the PR doesn't mention a thing about Busters, the minigame introduced in Yokai Watch 2. I hope they didn't REMOVE it from the game. They wouldn't be that stupid, right?

Not that this is the thread for this but Amazon has Trails in the Sky 2 listed for around that time too. Yikes, my time and money.

 

[KirbYuuYuu]

Fantastic

Now then. Hope LBX W is a thing given the scenario I saw in the show.

 

[20cent]

Same day as FFXV.

10 years old kids have a lot of time for playing games.

 

[tim.mbp]

More Abdallah videos.

 

[NolbertoS]

Is that the Three Kingdoms version or another spinoff?? I want Yokai: 3 Kingdoms localized ;_;

 

[Ydelnae]

Is that the Three Kingdoms version or another spinoff?? I want Yokai: 3 Kingdoms localized ;_;

This is the second entry of the mainline games. This "second generation" has three spin-offs, Busters, 3 Kingdoms and Dance, which are yet to be announced for a localization.

 

[Meffer]

Oh hell yes! Yokai Watch 2 is fucking amazing.

 

[Meffer]

Fantastic

Now then. Hope LBX W is a thing given the scenario I saw in the show.

I think it's coming, I certainly hope so. It's better than the first and it's so good.

 

[Itaremustbedangeres]

Agreed, both demos have not sold me on FFXV. Too sci-fi and the combat is way too automated even compared to YW1.

I hope EU date gets announced because that delay was so not fair to EU players.


That is great to hear, navigation was my main issue with the first game because it was a pain until you got mirrors.

I imported the game from AUS last year. Given that the EU version just released last month (?) I doubt we'll get an announcement anytime soon. I would love to be proven wrong though (go nintendo!) :/

 

[tim.mbp]

Yo-Kai in September, Pokemon in November. Good times.

 

[Meffer]

Yo-Kai in September, Pokemon in November. Good times.

Just so many good games this year.

I can't speak to the YW2 minigame but the standalone Busters game leans so heavily on Ghostbusters that you'd have to imagine there'd be legal concerns about bringing it over.

 

[Sterok]

Sweet. First game was flawed, but enjoyable, and hearing that 2 is better in every way just gives me more reason to get this one.

It won't be removed. It's one of the only ways in the game to get certain items for the single player.

 

[hupla]

Awww yeah I've been waiting for an announcement and September is earlier than I expected! I'm really excited yeessss

 

[BatDan]

I saw some Busters footage.
Their car is literally the Ecto-1.
Only way it could come over is after some heavy reworking.

 

[Forkball]

I made a big post on Yokai Watch 2 when it came out. I never played the original, so I don't know how they compare, but I really loved the second title. Though I do know that there are a lot more Yokai in 2, and even more in the third version.

Bu Ghostbusters was released in Japan too, so what's the problem?

 

[ladyluthien]

This is great news. I had a feeling it would come over but seeing a release date is even better! Yes! Day 1 of course

 

[Vena]

Oh cool. There's a good jRPG to look forward to in September, at long last!

Spoiler

Am I doing it right?

 

[Tomita]

So because the two versions have different Yo-kai... Can you trade them back and forth? And/or get them from other people? And if so is this wireless only or Wifi too?

Judging from the first game there is probably no trading option and it's sort of pointless to try and get them all besides to say "I did it!" so will probably come down to which game has the cooler line-up in your opinion. Pokemon is stale as hell compared to YW but I still have more incentive to "catch 'em all" in the former than in the latter.

Only a few more weeks of school and then I can finish up the first game, then get this game in September! (I paused around the time you need to go to the museum because life happened... And then I played Earthbound and then life happened again, haha.)

Also I just googled Busters and....I need that in my life. I hope nothing is censored and it gets brought here, holy crap. They even wear the suits haaaaa

Yokai Watch 2 supports online play for both trade and battles.

It's a huge improvement over the first game, I have read.

 

[MissileTrick]

I had a feeling we would get the main line games. My hope for the spin offs are still low. Very glad this comes out before Pokemon too. lol

 

[Koppai]

When the Nintendo rep came to the store recently I asked him If he knew we were getting the sequel. And he said, we'll we have had alot of success with the franchise, so I don't see why not

Didn't Koei make the spinoff? They release all of their games here these days...I could see it coming over. Busters would have to be brought over by Nintendo though.

 

[God Dayumm]

Yokai Watch is a very enjoyable game. It's only flaw is the automatic battle system, hopefully they improve upon it in future versions.

 

[Shirke]

I should pick up the first game and finish it before this one comes out. I've heard that 2 improves on the first one in many ways.

 

[BluePikmin11]

YO-KAI WATCH 2 finally getting announced on my birthday is enough to satisfy my day. Cheers to me getting older!~

They better not. From what I've seen, Busters looks like ridiculous fun and, since I don't get on with the standard Yo-kai Watch battle system, I have been looking forward to Busters.

 

[vibbon]

So excited to hear about this! I beat the first game's story in about 15 hours and just hit the 70 hour mark in the post-game.

 

[GamerJM]

This "announcing games with their release dates through PR and social media," thing from Nintendo is so weird. I'm sure they're just in a transitional phase and we'll get regular Directs back within a year or so, but for now it's just so....anti-hype. I wonder if we're gonna get a DQ7 release date through this soon, it's supposed to come out during the Summer right?

 

[Menitta]

I can't wait for Yokai Watch 3 because that takes place in America. I'll get that for sure.

 

[BatDan]

I can't wait for Yokai Watch 3 because that takes place in America. I'll get that for sure.

I'm actually curious how the localization would handle the third game. Like Ace Attorney, it tries to pretend the first (and likely second) takes place in America.
Maybe it will be "a far away city" or something.

In all fairness all the stuff they've announced this way is stuff "core" gamers don't care about. They're games targeted towards kids If they showed stuff like Style Savvy and Disney Magical World 2 in a Direct all that would happen is people would complain it's a shitty Direct.

That and the changes to the battle system

oh boy it's just too much goodness

 

[BluePikmin11]

Seeing people saying that YW2 is going to bomb because of FFXV, it makes me sad.
I'm going to get both games!

Wow, niiiice. I thought we'd have to wait until installment #3 for that sorta thing!

I hope there's a little bit at Treehouse about this game or something. They can't just only talk about Zelda for three days, right?? I miss Directs.

 

[AdanVC]

Another anime RPG for 3DS... Not hyped since I'm not into RPGs anymore but congrats to everyone who is looking forward to this game!

I'd be fine with it. *Shrug*

Then again I actually liked the last Direct they did, whereas most people seemed to be disappointed. Probably because the new Paper Mario looks like ass but there was a lot of other quality stuff announced.

 

[BatDan]

The anime is based on the game. Just like Pokemon.

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

The anime is based on the game. Just like Pokemon.

Yeah, but to be fair it seems like in usual Level 5 fashion they always intended to launch an anime adaptation alongside the game, whereas the Pokemon anime came about more organically due to the popularity of Red and Green.

 

[Infinite]

Yokai Watch is a very enjoyable game. It's only flaw is the automatic battle system, hopefully they improve upon it in future versions.

I thought the battle system was fine but what killed me was capturing monsters. They really need to change that.

 

[SapphiCine]

Wonder if we'll hear about another Little Battlers coming over as well. I imagine this sold significantly better.
