So the popular Japanese series, Yo-Kai Watch will be having its sequel hit North America on Sep. 30th. It will have both versions and has significant improvements to the original including many new Yo-Kai.

Will you be getting the game?

Personally I'm super excited for it XD it's a nice series and I really enjoyed the original. Only thing I disliked was the battle system's super moves being reliant on the touch screen (I detest touch screen anything). Other than that I really loved this game.

Some people compare it to Pokemon but it really is its own thing with the only difference being you capture monsters -something the Shin Megami Tensei series pioneered way before Pokemon was even conceptualized x.x I'd compare it more to a traditional RPG with an episodic asethetic. 

I hear Europe only just got the original Yo-Kai Watch a few weeks ago

This year has been and will be great for 3DS.The year is only bad for console part, something that people seem to forget.Having said that, Im not picking up Yokai Watch 2.Didnt even pick the first one

Yes

This made me so happy.

I'm not surprised after seeing all the merchandise they have in stores for the series that only has 1 game here in the states. They always seem to put it right beside Pokemon items as well....

They're persistent, I will give them that. The game did pretty poorly in the west last time despite pretty aggressive advertising given the subject matter. Personally, I expect a sales decline rather than increase. I just really, really don't see this taking off no matter how much Level 5 wishes it was so.

Hope Australia's release is around the same time seeing as we got the original at the same time as NA and not EU

I think need to change their market strategy for YW. It's a great game but didn't sell well.

It must be selling okay across merchandise, TV, and games.

yearly releases??? not a fan. Hope it's telling an entertaining and original story at the very least.
