Ok, my question is are they doing it just like pokemon? I mean exclusive monsters, items, etc? Or can this game just be one version like the original?

From what the boxart of both version show, it seems that they will have exclusive Yokai depending on the version.

when Yokai Watch 2 comes out it wont even be a year from the original.... Level 5 will make a lot of money with the next couple years intill the effect wears off

It's quite crazy seeing the Level-5 affect so early. Usually it does take about a year.

Their milking dependance is growing!

Nintendo's going to be starting a campaign in Japan to get Youkai Watch free with the purchase of a 3DS LL. Expect to see hardware boost and software drop for that in a couple weeks anyway :p

Basically, they offer a choice between two games every month. It will be Youkai Watch or Animal Crossing between April 26 and May 31. Unfortunately, these will be untrackable because what you get is a "ticket" that can be redeemed for any one game during the campaign, even games for later months if you choose to hold onto it.

If somebody can make a chart.... it be so lovely :)

I totally forgot about this! Wonder how much of a boost 3DS will get from this. Starting off with 2 huge games. If they're smart the other games after should be (not at once but just to name a few) PokemonXY/MH/DQ/PuzzleDragon

Heavy hitters would definitely move hardware, and help more people choose LL over regular 3DS. I think Nintendo also sees the Vita gaining momentum in Japan, and wants to try and counter that. This campaign is going to go until Sep 30, it's a long time so it probably won't be entirely frontloaded, either.

I'm not sure if it's the best idea to offer such relatively new games though. Animal Crossing is fairly old, but there are already retailers complaining about the choice to offer Youkai Watch. It's a big seller for retailers right now, and the campaign will definitely hurt them.

Edit: Also, slow day.
