Last week my daughter and I were so excited to receive a top secret box from Nintendo Canada. Inside the box was the latest game for the Nintendo 3DS, Yo-Kai Watch.
I had no idea what this game was about but both my daughter and I were ready to try it out.
Yo-Kai Watch is a role-playing video game. You start the game by choosing your avatar. Once that is done you have simple instructions to follow. My daughter and I had a great time getting used to the house, the neighbourhood of Springdale and the surrounding areas.
About 30 minutes into the game we came across our first Yo-Kai. A Yo-Kai is a type of ghost (but not really a ghost!) that causes mischief and trouble in town. The first Yo-Kai we met was called Whisper. Whisper pretty much became our mentor and he now tells us what to do in Yo-Kai Watch.
Whisper gave us a Yo-Kai watch and guides us on how to find and capture Yo-Kai. Since Yo-Kai are invisible you need to use the watch to find them. The purpose of capturing Yo-Kai is to stop them from creating mischief in town. It’s very easy to use the Yo-Kai watch to capture Yo-Kai around town. Once you capture Yo-Kai you befriend them and create a team to battle other Yo-Kai.
So far we have really enjoyed playing this game. It is great to have Whisper as our guide while we play. We’ve befriended about ten Yo-Kai and are constantly working on getting more.

The Yo-Kai Watch Demo is now available in the Nintendo eShop. To find the Demo simply head over to the Nintendo eShop from your device.
{Buy Yo-Kai Watch}
Yo-Kai Watch is available for purchase on November 6, 2015. You can purchase the physical game in stores or in the Nintendo eShop. You can also purchase a Nintendo 2DS Bundle that includes the Nintendo 2DS and Yo-Kai Watch.
Yo-Kai Watch is recommended for ages 10 and up. It has some mild fantasy violence and comic mischief. The game does require the player to do a lot of reading as well. I think it’s a very fun game. I look forward to capturing more Yo-Kai with my daughter. I’m hoping we eventually find all 200 Yo-Kai!
that sounds like something my boys would be into, they are all about the electronics! lol
Free demo, thank you!
Thank you, my daughter loves her DS and would enjoy this game!
My kids would probably just love the fact that they get to wear a watch! Seriously, anything that is or looks like it is a watch is a hit with them!
cute game. No DS3 here (yet) but I am sure we will start getting into those devices as the kids get older.
Well my kids would love all of this I think. We don’t have that many 3 DS games but this one seems like a winner. They enjoy creating their own avatar and they love anything that has an anime feel to it so this seems perfect. I will look for it for Christmas time.
