Same game reskinned basically.

If what you're saying is true (I don't know enough about it) and it's been reskinned as a Mario game then that'll be why it's coming west.  Hence, my original point still stands (JP sales of Puzzles & Dragons Z did nothing to get it localized - it was other factors).

Eh?Sorry samus aran isn't right?Yokai watch and not only the game are coming in the west this year!If YW wasn't a huge success in Japan would it be localized?

What?

We don't even know who is localizing it yet.  Nintendo had to localize Level-5's last game, despite it selling decently in Japan.

It was Gungho who asked Nintendo for a SM Puzzle & Dragons, not the other way around.
