Yo-Kai Watch heading to North America, Europe

It's like Pokemon, but not!

In 2013 the 3DS was hit with a game that turned out to be a huge success in Japan, and now that game is coming to North America and Europe. Nintendo has announced that Level-5's Yo-Kai Watch will finally be getting a release outside of Japan.

Yo-Kai Watch was developed by the same studio that brought us Professor Layton and has been likened to the Pokémon franchise because of its focus on battling and capturing spirits called Yo-Kai.

The game has been detailed as following the story of "a boy who gets a special watch that lets him befriend and help mischievous Yo-Kai and later summon them to fight other Yo-Kai. Players can overcome challenges and help various characters solve everyday problems with the help of Yo-Kai friends. These eccentric Yo-Kai resemble anything from inanimate objects to mythical creatures.”
