Ever since the original unveiling of Yo-kai Watch, the series has drawn comparisons to Pokemon. Those comparisons are more prevalent than ever now that the franchise is starting to make its way overseas. Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino is fine with this, but feels “there are lots of differences” that set the two apart.

Speaking with GamesBeat, Hino said:

“We don’t really mind the comparison with Pokémon, but there are lots of differences. Yo-Kai Watch doesn’t take place in a fantasy world. The setting is like a real town in Japan, something closer to the user’s own life. It’s very relatable for kids. It’s something they can connect to their own life. We did localize it well, though, to make sure that kind of element carries through to the American version.

Another key point is that this isn’t just for kids, though. It’s for the whole family. We have elements that appeal to mothers and fathers as well, not just their kids. The franchise contains humor that can appeal to both kids and adults.”

Hino also spoke briefly about the localization of the next Yo-kai Watch game. When asked if it’ll take just as long to get Yo-kai Watch 2 in the west, he let out a chuckle and said, “It shouldn’t take that long.”

There are plenty of Monster Hunter X updates to go around. Capcom has shared some official updates, coverage has leaked from this week’s Famitsu, and new videos have surfaced.

First up, Capcom is once again teaming up with Universal Studios Japan. Starting on January 15, players can obtain special equipment and guild cards. There’s also the collaboration quest players can acquire.

Capcom also shared a video of another Monster Hunter X 3DS theme. This will be available at launch next week for 200 yen.

As for Famitsu’s coverage, we now know of the Vicious mode for monsters. They’re referred to similarly as Frenzied monsters from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and we know that in this state, creatures have stronger attacks and are covered by black smoke. Attacking them allows your Hunter Skills gauge to increase more quickly, and taking them down provides players with armor and weapons.

We’ll close things out with a few different videos. Continuing on below for the latest gameplay, and visit Capcom’s YouTube channel for a bunch of commercials (and making of videos).
