There's three ways I've seen this game spelled; Yokai Watch, Youkai Watch, and Yo-Kai Watch. This is a first.

And no, the Wii U's toxic, nothing will help it.

Few weeks boost yes defo...

WiiU need a Yokai - AC - Pokemon

It could boost WiiU sales just a little, since home consoles don't do that well in Japan anymore... :-/

For that Youkai needs to arrive to the west first. Don't make more envious, Japan.
Actually, I see a pokemon game in the U, like colosseum. It won't sell the system alone, but it could help.

Youkai Watch for 3DS been out since july 11th last year and it's still in the charts so yeah it could do a lot on a home console maybe. I think people need to stop comparing it to Pokemon. Pokemon doesn't sell that well on home consoles because most games are pretty much nothing like the portables anyway and tend to be pretty mediocre and have been for a long time. Youkai Watch is huge in Japan right now. They had to close a Youkai Watch store hours early because they ran out of merchandise. Youkai Watch 2 is going be massive. If they did it right and maybe did it like Youkai Watch on portables, it could do fantastic for Wii U in Japan.

The game is made for handheld same for Pokemon. It'll sell great if you ask me, but not enough to save the wiiu there.
