Yokai Watch 3

It didn't have many copies made because
>3ds release of an extremely niche series in 2019

Not to mention releasing it on the same day as Smash Ultimate of all things in Europe.

Game was doomed from the start.

The amount of content in this game is to cry with joy, I've never seen anything like it. I already have an answer to the question; What game would you take to a desert island?

the whole series seems mismanaged. Like even now, they're releasing a remake of 1 so soon after releasing 4.

post more komasan

They are shitting their pants because they are going downunder so they must hurry with their recourses while they have em.

>waiting for the value to go up before I flip it.

What do you anticipate the price to be?

I'm sure there will be a re-release of the game for mobile in 2-3 years.

What were they thinking

Even early on they went way too hard on making games and merch.

I can't imagine anyone who has managed to complete everything 100%, not even a japanese. The postgame of this game is not of this world.

Yeah, Level-5's mismanagement is really blatant. They need someone to get their shit together. There's no reason it took over a year for Layton's Mystery Journey's Switch port to get localized even though there's already a 3DS localization. Nor the long wait between Snack World's Japanese release and localization.

Hell you'd think we would hear something about YW1 Switch since that's already localized but apparently not.

Looking at Amazon, a new copy is $80. So maybe it can reach $100 or so?

>Even early on they went way too hard on making games and merch.

This is how you win hearts and minds.

Imagine finding Yo-Kai watch merch for 75% off. That's affordable. You buy it. You collect it. You fall in love with the series.

Too bad that didn't work in America. The merch all went to Dollar Tree. Now there's nothing but overpriced Omocat shirts. Even in Europe where the series is actually successful there's nothing. Hasbro and Level-5 both fucked up.

The best part is how 4's constant delays CLEARLY screwed everything else up. YW1 Switch should've launched in April with the K Arks and YW! anime. Maybe we could've had YW2 Switch in October instead

>Too bad that didn't work in America. The merch all went to Dollar Tree.

That's the point.

Precisely the point.

The merch was made available to a wider audience (there are more "poor" people in US of A) who discovered Yo-Kai watch by shopping clearance at Walmart and Dollar Tree.

This is called a "loss leader" and in the long run spread brand awareness. No parent buys cheap mass produced items at full MSRP for their children.

Let me be clear: this is a GOOD thing for the brand in the long run.

Really good. It def is a major step up from 1 and 2.
Still sad it didn't sell much because people dismiss the games as a Pokémon clone when that's absolutely not true and the only similarity they have is both being monster collection games.

b-bros, i dont want level 5 to die. I fucking love level 5. Where´s inazuma eleven? where is even that gacha?
Why so many problems in the generational change, the fucking switch is a junk and is ballasting them?

Attached: inazumaSD.jpg (186x172, 13K)

I hope so... it needs more brand awareness at least. Killing WibWob didn't help. Hoping Medal Wars gets an international version.

The anime seemed to do well at least. Enough for Level-5 to allow Disney XD to run the Inazuma Eleven Ares anime.

Does anyone think that Level 5 will release Yo Kai Watch One for Switch in the West before Yo Kai Watch 4?

And then call Yo Kai Watch! 4 ...

Yo Kai Watch! Two ??

>Does anyone think that Level 5 will release Yo Kai Watch One for Switch in the West before Yo Kai Watch 4?
Absolutely, they already announced Katrielle DX is coming in November. They have the entire script translated already so there's no reason to not at least bring it over digitally

I am curious how the Switch port will handle Pandanoko.

>I am curious how the Switch port will handle Pandanoko.

What's the deal with Pandanoko?

He's Streetpass exclusive. The Streetpass functionality in YW is a motel that gathers passing teams. There's a chance you'll run into Pandanoko. This is how it was for the 3 games and Blasters. The third game also added Starry Noko, for the motels in America/BBQ.

lolicon

Oh, that's right...

I used one YKW3 cart in two different 3DS systems to streetpass myself.

They're porting Yo-Kai Watch 1 to the Switch and Ni No Kuni Remastered is on the way as well. I hope for them that at least these sell well.

>They're porting Yo-Kai Watch 1 to the Switch
why?

>Looks at current Puni Puni
>The gachas are all fucked up, Z-Ranks exist now, power creep is getting worse, the most innovation its seen is "stiff boards" where there's less flexibility in the puzzles.

You know, I guess I'm kind of glad WibWob died then. If it was only going to get worse and worse like this. 27th highest grossing mobile game of 2018.

last good events were the extreme yokai
also I can't believe they changed the 10 dollar roll gasha so that you can't grind shit out of the coins

Yeah, they broke the gacha, made maxing it out impossible.
The worst is the addition of premium Nyanbo only Yo-kai. Really digging for the money.

Nate should be in Smash, just for this song to get in as well.

Best in the series as far as I'm aware, although I've yet to play 4. It boggles my fucking mind that they're re-releasing Yo-kai Watch 1 for the Switch though. I just wish that we could actually get stuff at an actual decent rate, and that we at least had a mobile game to tie us over. Come on, Level-5.

The first game was released 10 years ago.

10 year olds then are 20 years old now.

OH MY GOSH

>YKW1
>10 years ago
... No? The first Yo-kai Watch game released in 2013 in Japan.

If I were to get into this does it make sense to start with 1 or is 3 its own game?

Start with 2: Psychic Specters
Yo-kai Watch 1 is made completely irrelevant within the first 10 minutes of its sequel

Attached: YKW1 Problems.png (1248x411, 81K)

If you pay real money to buy a game then the cheapest version of 2 will do.

If you have other means of aquiring games then 2 psychic spectres

The first game came out in 2013 in Japan. It hasn't been that long (even if it it feels that way). Though it may have been an idea 10 years ago. Here's a beta they were planning for the PS3 before scrapping it and bringing it to 3DS.
youtube.com/watch?v=UNhdtGJdqNU

Start with 2 Psychic Specters. It's basically a soft reboot and lacks a lot of the jank the first game had.
Though I do hope the Switch port adjusts the game so it plays like the sequels.

the same is why I wonder why, any of the sequels makes the previous one completely obsolete (in the absence of playing 4 that seems quite regular) and you don't miss anything for not playing them

The first few episodes of the anime are the same story of the the first 3ds game and then the second (Bony and Fleshy) take the origin story and re-tell it.

3 is a direct sequel and continuation to 2. 1 is this really weird game that happened before the anime came out, so it's largely its own separate thing entirely. It has the best final boss theme in the entire series though, so there's that.

3's final boss themes are kino as hell though.

Could've used some folklore American yo-kai, though the pun/inspirit yo-kai we got weren't bad

Never said the others were bad, but I personally like 1's the most
youtube.com/watch?v=R5-ADLj1FqU

Yeah, it would have been cool to see a Jersey Devil Yokai, or Flatwoods Monster, or tap into Native American mythology.

Oh that's fair. 1's theme was great too. Hell the music overall in the series is great and could use more love.

Does anyone enjoy the Bike Races in Yo Kai Watch 3?

They can be a pain in my bum. Is the trick to use a Staminum before the race?

The main issue i had with them is more to do with how slick the circle pad is.

What are the chances of a fully fleshed out multi player Yo Kai Blasters game to be created for the Nintendo Switcheroo?

>blasters t friends only doesn't work
why

That would be awesome. Hopefully it plays more like the first game or T rather than the second (which I heard was a glitchy mess)

Imagine if the dungeons were more like A Link to the Past style dungeons. Puzzles to solve and such would be fantastic fun.

Oh yeah, and add some Musou-style stages where it's easier to get materials.

if they're gonna port 1 to the switch will that mean the other 2 will follow suit

I hope so

'The question will be:

Will the WEST see the ENGLISH translation ever if at all?

good point

>YW3 and Blasters are both in the $60+ range nowadays.
I am screaming internally right now. Even Psychic Specters is full price to $60.

I bought a ton of Yo Kai plushes from dollars stores because of how cute and awesome they were. I bought 4 of these, gave two as gifts to my niece and kept the rest to myself. They're just so damn soft.

I remember pre-ordering both versions of Blasters from Best Buy. The day they were meant to come out, I got an e-mail that they were cancelled. Rushed over to GameStop to grab them (never shop there but I made an exception).

At this point, digital seems to be the only way to go with these games. At least you get a bonus going digital (bonus Yo-kai)

>I bought a ton of Yo Kai plushes from dollars stores because of how cute and awesome they were.

Your affinity towards the brand increased.

Effectively creating new fans.

Does anyone have the Blasters roms to share?

Their problem was that they were releasing too many toys it was impossible to keep up. They released the second Watch within like 6 months of the first one including all the new medals for it. The Yo-kai Moments toys (Those awesome little $5 figures that come with a medal) didn't even have their second series release in stores. Even tokusatsu shows don't go through roleplay toys that quickly.

>Their problem was that they were releasing too many toys it was impossible to keep up.

The market over-saturation of product does well to keep people curious about what is available.

This might frustrate the consumer but the effect of owning a "unique" Yo-Kai Watch item creates the feeling of pride in the owner.

This instills greater brand loyalty and creates "shills" for the intellectual property who share their collections on social media. It's word of mouth advertising in the digital age.

Late reply but probably for kids that are just starting to play games and Yo-Kai Watch 1 would be a good start. It releases just after the Lite's launch.

How the fuck is the first game even gonna work on the Switch?

Readjust the touch screen minigames for button presses.

Loved the Nate parts, hated the Hailey parts. I can see why the series popularity took a hit and they cut her out of the sequels

I'm playing the undub version. I finally don't hear the rabbit's terrible voice

The Failey parts were the most humourous to me. I guess I have a funny bone.

Pls let this game be alive.

>Pls let this game be alive.

Pray tell, what game doth jest?

Apparently it was FFVIIR'd. Farmed out to someone else, but they were doing a bad job so Level-5 brought it in internally. Probably why there's so many delays, why there's a second season of Ares, etc

Yeah, that fake southern accent was pretty bad.
But then again, most english voice acting is bad.

especially nate as they use both the new lines mix in with the old one an it kind of jarring
