Nintendo announced a short while ago that Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters is planned for September 29 in North America. Similarly, Europe just received the same date as well. We have the latest trailer below.

Nintendo has readied a new trailer for Monster Hunter Stories, releasing September 8 in both North America and Europe. View the video below.

September is looking like a busy month for 3DS. Monster Hunter Stories, Metroid: Samus Returns, and Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters are arriving within just a few weeks of each other.

Previously, Nintendo had given Psychic Specters a vague “Fall 2017” launch window in North America. We now have a final date, as it’s now confirmed for September 29.

Yo-kai Watch 2 originally came out last year. Psychic Specters offers new features, including new Yo-kai to befriend, exclusive quests, and the ability to hop on the Hexpress to a new resort area. Those who purchased Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits or Fleshy Souls can transfer their save data to pick up where they left off.

The New 2DS XL is the hot new thing for Nintendo in the 3DS line right now, but the company hasn’t forgotten about the original 2DS. Next month, the big N will be shipping out a new bundle.

Consumers will soon be able to pick up a white-and-red 2DS system with New Super Mario Bros. 2. The game will come pre-installed. It’s slated for August 25 at a $79.99 price point.

Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, said in a statement:

“Nintendo 2DS is the ideal system for parents that want to introduce their kids to the creative world of Nintendo that they grew up with. Its budget-friendly price and huge library of games will provide hours of entertainment for the whole family – whether after school, on the weekends or even while traveling.”
