I'd love to know where on earth they found that "October 3rd" date, because there certainly isn't anything on the page they link (and looking for Yo-kai Watch on the website only leads to the Disney XD debut). Pretty sure it's an error to be honest. Besides, the date is rather suspicious... Friday at 2PM for the debut of a kid's anime? And no announcement prior... I'm not buying ti, quite frankly.
Buuuuuut that's slightly off-topic.
Talking about Yo-kai Watch, it's "funny" how different the approach is compared to Japan, where the game came out half a year before the anime started. Guess they quickly realised how important the anime was. Really hope we'll get some hard data for both the anime and the game in the west, so we can make a comparison with the JP launch, since the approach is not the same.

Moe on-topic: Nintendo finally has an official
LINE account.
By the way, what can you do with an official account on LINE (never used, so I wouldn't know). Do you get news (like you would on Facebook), or is it only for random chat? Famitsu tried to get Toad to tell them about the NX platform, and the answer is... well,
pretty funny and totally unrelated.
