Youkai Watch confirmed for a Western Release in 2015!

Published on August 19th, 2014 by D4rkDragon


As you were aware, many games that were exclusive to Japan have been released worldwide lately. Now, you’ll be able to add Youkai Watch (a game made by Level-5 which is selling really well in Japan) to the list, because Akihiro Hino, Level-5’s CEO has announced that Youkai Watch will get a Western Release during 2015.

While no information has been given about the sequel, Youkai Watch 2 (Ganso/Honke), we can suppose that if Youkai Watch sells well in the West, the sequel will also likely get a Western release.

As a reminder, if you haven’t heard of it, Youkai Watch is a game in which you train/capture creatures from the Japanese Mythology called Youkais (pronounced “Yôkai”). The gameplay is really similar to Pokémon, and the game is very popular in Japan.
