Plot

See also: List of Yo-Kai Watch characters

One day, whilst searching for bugs in the woods, a boy named Nathan "Nate" Adams (Keita Amano) comes across a peculiar capsule machine next to a sacred tree (in the games, players can choose to play as a girl named Katie (Fumika Kodama) instead). When he opens one of the capsules up, it brings forth a Yo-kai named Whisper, who gives Nate a device known as the Yo-kai Watch. Using this, Nate is able to identify and see various different Yo-kai that are haunting people and causing mischief. Joined by the cat Yo-kai Jibanyan, Nate and Whisper start making friends with all sorts of Yo-kai, which he can summon to battle against more ill-intentioned Yo-kai that happen to live in his town, haunting the residents and causing terrible trouble.

Gameplay

Yo-Kai Watch is a role-playing video game where the player searches around Sakura New Town for Yo-kai using the 3DS' touchscreen. Players befriend Yo-kai by giving them a food that they like before beginning battle, and after defeating the Yo-Kai it approaches the player character and gives them its Yo-kai Medal, allowing it to be summoned at will. Yo-kai can also be acquired through an in game Gasha Machine by collecting in-game coins or using Play Coins. Certain Yo-kai are necessary for completing the game's main quest, and special rare Yo-kai are acquired through various subquests. Yo-kai have the capability to evolve into more powerful versions of themselves if they reach a certain level, or they can evolve by combining with particular items or other Yo-kai. The Yo-kai are divided amongst eight different classes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. There are also Legend Yo-kai that can only be obtained by collecting a particular set of Yo-kai listed in the Yo-kai Medallium, a compendium of the different Yo-kai the player has encountered or befriended, as well as Boss Yo-kai that cannot be befriended in the original game, but can become the player's friends in Ganso and Honke.

When the player encounters a Yo-kai, he enters into battle with it using six Yo-kai that the player has befriended previously. The touchscreen is used during battles to rotate amongst the player's Yo-kai in battle at will. It is also used either to clear up status effects on the player's Yo-kai or to charge up the Yo-kai's special abilities.[10]

A common in-game event is "Oni Time" (Terror Time), where the player character enters a nightmare realm where he or she looks for treasure chests with special items in them all while trying to avoid being seen by other Yo-kai. If spotted, the player is chased by a powerful Oni Yo-Kai that can easily wipe out the player's party unless he or she can escape. It is possible to defeat the Oni, but only if the player's Yo-Kai are particularly powerful.[11] The player can also encounter similarly powerful Namahage Yo-kai if the player crosses the street on a red light, but the encounter may be beneficial if the player follows the rules.[12]

Players can also participate in several side quests for experience and bug-catching and fishing minigames to obtain special items.

Yo-Kai Watch 2 expands the areas to be explored with nearly 100 new Yo-Kai in the present day of the Kemamoto region and the past, where he meets traditional Yo-kai and the predecessor to the Yo-kai Watch.

Media

Video games

The Yo-Kai Watch video game was announced by Level-5 at the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. It was released in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS on July 11, 2013.[13] As of February 2014, the game had sold over 500,000 retail copies.[14][15] In January 2014, Level-5 filed for a trademark in the United States for "Yo-Kai Watch"[16][17] and is currently gauging interest in a Western release.[18][19] Nintendo announced that they would be publishing the game in North America for a Holiday 2015 release.[7]

The Data Carddass game Yo-Kai Watch: Tomodachi UkiUkipedia (妖怪ウォッチ ともだちウキウキペディア) was first location tested in late December 2013, and debuted at the Next Generation World Hobby Fair Winter 2014 before being released in early 2014. The game is played much like Bandai's other Data Carddass games, in which the player uses an interface resembling a slot machine to determine the events of a battle between 3 of the player's Yo-Kai against 3 enemy Yo-Kai, after the player sought them out on the game interface. Winning the game awards the player a card that can be used for future Tomodachi UkiUkipedia play.

A sequel, Yo-Kai Watch 2, was released in Japan on July 10, 2014 in two editions; Ganso (元祖) and Honke (本家, both can be translated as "original").[20][21] CoroCoro Comic began running a contest for readers to design a new form for the game's mascot Jibanyan that would appear in the new game as well as in the manga in CoroCoro.[22] These were revealed to be Buchinyan, a fusion of Jibanyan and Whisper available in an update to the original game (as well as adding special Komasan and Tsuchinoko partners), and Fuyunyan, a heroic Yo-Kai that is central to the plot of the games. Ganso and Honke will also feature Yo-Kai that are unobtainable in the other version, including boss characters. Other new features include Z Medals, old Medals, train travel, bike racing, climbing poles, and a "spooky red box" that causes the player to fart or rewards a special item.[23] In collaboration with Tomodachi UkiUkipedia, the arcade game will feature unique local Yo-Kai representing eight regions of Japan, that can be used in Yo-Kai Watch 2 by using a code found on the game's prize card. On December 13, 2014, a third edition of Yo-Kai Watch 2 subtitled Shinuchi (真打, Shin'uchi, "Headliner") was released in Japan, featuring characters and scenarios not initially included in Ganso and Honke.[24][25] As of November 2014, the Ganso and Honke editions had sold a combined 2,881,810 copies.[26] The Ganso and Honke versions sold over three million copies in 2014, making it the best-selling video game in Japan in 2014.[27]

A spin-off game, Yo-Kai Watch Busters, and a third installment, Yo-Kai Watch 3, are currently in development, according to the April 2015 issue of CoroCoro. The spin-off will allow four players to cooperate in battling boss Yo-Kai.[28] Keita's story in Yo-Kai Watch 3 will take place in the United States in the fictional town of Saint Peanutsburg where Keita's family has moved. The game will feature new "American looking" Yo-Kai and introduce the new anime protagonist Inaho Misora and her partner Yo-Kai Usapyon.[29]
