I just love how you disregarded the sequels and the improvements they have and used your personal opinion about the designs as something the default. A lot of people got that the designs are meant to be a representation of what they do as yo-kai and that different tribes have different designs. A lot of people didn’t…

The first game was released in 2013 and wasn’t meant to be the success it was. So it is not as refined as the later games in the franchise.

You posted pics but you forgot to talk about the new interactive figures. Komajiro raps and you can “remix” it. While whisper is like a “Yes or No” divination kinda thing.

And why is that what Yo-kai Watch should aim for? Why do you think it needs your approval to be cool?

Hasbro deals with all the merch licensing in the West.

IGN, Kotaku and a lot of Nintendo websites post about it...

lmao good luck with that

The “watch” is actually a communication/summoning device. The watch part is more like a disguise haha

Or buy the figurines that come with the medals? I mean, all of the models are the most popular ones so it’s a big chance your kid will like one of those...

Did not say they weren’t concerned about money.

You don’t need to have those to play the game but you can use them in it. It works a little bit different as these use the QR code and such.

The balance comes from the parents. That’s their job. You don’t need and really shouldn’t buy everything your kid wants.

Yes, it somehow help them. The show and the game are full of real life advice. Game talks about divorce, depression, how to cope with death and several other things.

The show in Canada and the US air on different timeslots. DisneyXD in the US shows ads for YW constantly, is airing a new episode each day for a week, starting Dec 28th. Second time they do that.

Uh, just because you didn’t see it, doesn’t meant it ain’t happening.
Saying everyone has ad block installed is a hell of a reach.
Yo-kai Watch ads are weird for a reason. They are meant to make you remember them. They would not get lost and they don’t since I found out about the ads on Movie Theater on Twitter, tweeted…

I think you are missing something. There were/are ads running on Movie Theaters before movies, on Twitch streams, on Youtube and on several other sites. There are ads on gaming stores and ads on TV as well.

Komasan turns into a CEO on some of the episodes that will air soon :)

I just hope people realize that this franchise is kind of important for a lot of kids out there and wishing/trying to make it fail is just so damn heartless...

The purpose of the watch is to roleplay.

Yo-kai Watch was a sleeper hit in Japan. Why are people expecting it to be huge by launch? I’m seeing a lot more people talking about it on twitter now after Christmas, since a lot of kids asked for the game and the toys.
