‘YO-KAI Watch’ Introduces A Few Of Its Stars!

Releasing on the Nintendo 3DS on November 6th (just a couple of days to go), Level-5’s YO-KAI Watch centers around a young protagonist and the huge, diverse cast of monster-like beings that join their team. Like the Pokémon series, it is a game that relies on the player caring about (or at least finding something to like) in the minions that they send into battle, be it Pocket Monster or YO-KAI.

But, what are YO-KAI? Here’s how Nintendo explains them:

YO-KAI cannot be seen by the human eye, but hide everywhere! It’s why you feel the urge to bust out in a dance in the middle of the classroom or why some mornings you simply can’t pry yourself out of bed. Hundreds of these spooky, sometimes cute and usually mischievous YO-KAI secretly inhabit our world.

Without further ado, let’s meet five of the YO-KAI you will see in the game!

Jibanyan

If you have been following any of the trailers, Jibanyan should be familiar to you. This normally lazy feline likes to use passing trucks as punching bags when training. That probably isn’t good for business.

Tattletell

Resembling an elderly woman, this Yo-kai is responsible for all those times you spilled a secret you were supposed to be keeping. We’ve all been there.

Walkappa

Walkappa is a land-based version of the kappa Yo-kai. If you get the sudden urge to swim, this dude is to blame. That little thermos around his neck is for pouring onto the top of his head.

Shmoopie

While this Yo-kai may look like a toy that fell off a Sanrio truck, it is actually the one responsible for when you are overwhelmed with a feeling of cuteness. Just look at those eyes; they’re so sweet that they could give you cavities. D’aww!

Snotsolong

This YO-KAI must be pretty busy right around now. It gives you those non-stop runny noses that just don’t seem to end. Looks like it is suffering from a similar issue. Anyone have a handkerchief to lend this poor thing?

You can meet many, many more of these YO-KAI in YO-KAI Watch when it releases November 6th in stores and on the Nintendo 3DS eShop.

Can’t wait that long? There’s a sizable demo available to download now in the eShop.
