Not good enough publicity or not enough Ads? It's hard to pay attention to everything when most things pass by you completely silent

Because we're not in Japan. :L

The game doesn't look all that to be honest. It won't even come close to Pokemon

because the people need Ni No Kuni 2. (for PS4 or 3DS or something) ^^

the JRPG Ni No Kuni (PS3, Level 5) was awesome and looks so amazing. The best Level 5-Game in the last years.

Yokai Watch is..well.. "okay" - this is no big "level5-game" for the people, i think. And i have no interest.

Because is not appealing

Not enough ads, next to no presence on TV compared to the 5 a day ads Fallout 4 got on TV and of course the following is not that bigger than say Pokemon or as popular either.

Japanese games in general are unlikely to become front and center than Western titles, especially this gen.

Because fuck Yokai Watch, that's why.

It's basically a game that's within the same niche that Pokémon already fulfills in the West.
Thus not giving it a chance to really stand on it's own.

It's not Pokemon and it's not porn. Why should we care?

You guys remember what happened during the Pokemon launch in the West? That's what YW didn't do. :D
