My brother bullied me out of this game by calling it a Pokémon ripoff (and Ben 10, because of a single line in the anime). Finally getting back into the franchise and I love it so much. Its a thrill all over again :D I’m glad to find good explanation on how these games literally do not correlate aside from the genre. Gonna send this to that brother. Take that, pissboy!
This hits too hard. Yo Kai watch has a very special place in my heart, it was the game that held my hand when I had no one to talk to. The ending was really magnificent, almost brought tears to my eyes, and I m talking about not only the ending of the game, but of this video. BRING BACK YO KAI WATCH
Blame the developers for not releasing the switch releases in the West even though it has been repeatedly proven the Switch can revitalise series perceived as dead in Western markets.
I love this series so much. My 3DS will survive till the heat death of the universe so my kids can play this franchise. Fighting eldritch horrors was fun, almost getting my heart ripped out by a insane surgeon was fun, fight the mafia was fun, almost every aspect of it was fun. Level-5 please localize 4 and the remaster of 1. This series brings me so much joy.
34:21 and then the Game got shut down while ITS japanese Brother puni puni got crossovers with kamen Rider, Layton, and final Fantasy. IT even Had unique yokai and IS basically a Harder wibble wobble
i love Yokai Watch, i have all of the games that came out in the west but i always felt bad that i would never be able to get all the medals because a bunch of them where event exclusive or worse, they were given out at a japanese event a year before the game came out in the west... i also like the anime but i prefer the japanese dub, the english/spanish one feels weird
i didnt realize people didnt like haliey. i like her. at least they changed her name. Inaho....is...a name to give a child. and with that maid cafe.....yeah. her parents hated her to give her a name that rymes with idaho...cuz shes a child not da ho.
yes. and who isnt a nerd? i mean yo kai fans have to be nerds. we like yo kai watch. a series thats about as dead as a yo kai itself in the states@@TheXMan
ngl this video really caught my attention , in these days it's really hard to find this type of content about yo kai watch. You did a great job at explaining the experience of this game, the pros and the cons and everything that was done right or wrong. I hope this video reaches a lot of people because every second of it is worth listening to. I have been playing yo kai watch since i was a kid and couldn't agree more with everything you said. Great content , hope you make more videos about yo kai watch
ah, man, before i noticed, i was an hour in! your narration style is so engaging as fun!!! i'm watching this video really late and i almost choked trying not to laugh at the "IT'S JUST FUCKING YODA" and "HOSE" the blasters section made me super thankful to have a brother who also got blasters because i have NEVER played that game on my own. actually, he's always the one suggesting we play together lol maybe because he knows The Horrors Of The AI ... but something struck with me with the ending. seeing you put into words the way you felt about this game, and the people you interviewed, along with the music... man, you can just really feel the love and attachment towards these games, and it's wonderful <3
I got into the series when I was in second grade and was OBSESSED with it. Now I’m replaying all the games I didn’t experience and am having a blast. This series is so charming and just keeps getting better, the sheer amount of content in every entry to the series is staggering
Yokai watch 3 is my favorite game in the whole series, also I love how in the rhongo swirl cutscene jibanyan is just back there pulling a Travis Scott😂
This is the best video essay I've seen on yokai watch. I like how you interview the fans and cover the games, instead of solely focusing on how the franchise failed in the west. All I can say is I hope maybe some day yokai watch can make it's comeback.
I love Yokai watch, it was one of my first special interest (I started playing when I was 4) a year after it first came out, I remember getting my 3ds for Christmas a year earlier, and playing the game, then convincing my parents to get me the game, and it got me into mythology not just Japanese but Greek, Roman, Norse, I loved playing it, and got really stuck trying to find Jibanyan, so I stopped for a year then came back in 2015 with an over-leveled Dimmy and got Jibanyan and finally defeated Dismarelda, then soon after defeated Slimeamader, then I got to Sproink, me and my friends spent so long trying to defeat him I also got my ass handed to me by gargaroth several times, Finally figured out I can pin point specific areas I beat him, I got through the game, still having Dimmy, which evolved, every Yokai watch 1 playthrough team has a Dimmy also the final boss was so easy and I think McKracken awoke something dark in me, I love Dimmy, I also think I kept him into my yokai watch 2 first playthrough when it first came out until I got to all the Yokai frozen in stone which was a bad idea since I kept dying to dame deadtime, eventually I stopped that and beat dame deadtime, which I found harder than her second phase (These games awoke something very dark in me) my parents wouldn't get me the 3rd game, so after watching a playthrough I stopped, then in the year of our lord 2020 I got another copy of Yokai watch 1 since I lost it, played it again, also beat yokai watch 2 again, and then this year, I got Citra (You know, you know) and found a Rom of Yokai watch 3 and started playing it, and I love it, it reminded me how much I love this franchise, now I can't speak Japanese so I can't get Yokai watch 4. I am so happy you made this, the story in Yokai watch is top tier and IMO is better than Pokemon's, I also started playing Pokemon after Yokai watch, I also liked the Yokai watch anime, the pokemon anime was much better, but the Yokai watch anime delt with much darker subjects IMO, especially the Yokai watch movie, which dear lord was dark. safe to say I love Yokai watch
It was very cool that you got some of the guys who made the game to help out in this video! Also I will not forgive you for deafening me for your star wars crap
I have no idea what your talking about when it comes to YKW3. It's my favourite game and I don't know of a single person besides you who dislikes it. I don't hate you for it or anything but you talk about it like it's something most people agree with, and I believe you, but that's not my experience with this fandom. I don't even know what the point of this comment is anymore, I just wanted to point that out.
tbh I've seen show revivals like Beyblade and bakugan, or even digimon's tcg returned. If they get another chance, give Yokai watch another go. Just pace the games out a bit more since I feel they released so much, so fast it was overwhelming. Not that it was bad, but it felt like if pokemon released the entire first 3 generstions all in 2 years (as an outsiders perspective at the time). But that aside it needs another chance, especially with some spinoffs to keep hype between games.
