    Yo-kai Watch

    Game » consists of 9 releases. Released Jul 11, 2013

    An RPG from Level 5 about a town filled with Yo-kai, traditional Japanese spirits, featuring Pokemon-style battles. It's a hugely successful cross-media project with other related tie-ins like toys and an anime. Nintendo localized the game for the West.

    Level-5 hints possible Youkai Watch localization!

    They asked fans via twitter if they would be interested in Youkai Watch in the US/EU regions. The game was released last year in Japan and was very well received by the press and fans.

    Between the game and the anime, Yo-kai Watch is a success in Japan! Would you like to see Yo-kai Watch in the US/EU?

    I had a lot of fun with the game and was one of my favourites from last year. I hope they bring the game to the west. It would be a shame otherwise.

    Was this a Guild-01 or Guild-02 game? It was, right? I basically want all of those to come out over here in the West. Those games seem like they're pretty much Japanese Amnesia Fortnight.

    Edit: Nope, my bad, was confusing this with Attack of the Friday Monsters/Weapon Shop de Omasse.

    @bisonhero: It's also more in line with Ni No Kuni. Some of the style and some mechanics come from that game. I agree about bringing those games too though. The fact that Guild 1 and 2 are compilations makes it hard to localize everything. Hopefully more will come in the future.
