Dear Reader:
Yo-kai Watch 4 - plenty of details, more screenshots
The following details were translated by Perfectly Nintendo...
- new Yo-kai Watch game sees 3 different worlds connected to each other
- Keita (Nate)’s world from the original Yo-kai Watch game, Natsume’s world from Yo-kai Watch: Shadow Side, and Shin from the latest Yo-kai Watch movie
- also a fourth world, still being kept secret though
- characters from those 3 worlds get to meet from across space and time
- by going through a mysterious door, Keita ends up meeting Natsume, even though there are 30 years separating those two
- key to that mystery: the Yo-kai Arks
- these replace the Yo-kai medals from the previous games, but there’s a major difference: their only purpose isn’t just to summon Yo-kai
- also open some really mysterious doors, like that one Keita used to travel to Natsume’s world
- in battle, human characters get to battle alongside Yo-kai, on the battlefield
- when enemies attack, you can see where their attacks will land thanks to markers on the ground: avoid those, and the attacks will not hit you
- Touma can transform using the Yo-kai Watch Ogre
- to be more precise, he can have Fudomyoo possess him, granting him incredible power and allowing him to land devasting blows to enemies
- when exploring the world, you can change which character you’re controlling on fly
- also changes the kind of Yo-kai Watch you can use
- Yo-kai from the Yo-kai Watch: Shadowside anime appear in this game, in their Lightside and Shadowside forms:
Jinta (Lightside) > Jingeki (Shadowside)
Jibanyan (Lightside and Shadowside)
Charlie (a pun on “Chari” which means bicycle in Japanese) Lightside) > Ghost Cycle (Shadowside)
Kyubi (Lightside and Shadowside)
Orochi (Lightside and Shadowside)
