Yo-kai Watch – three characters introduced, Halloween posters
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Images, News | 3 Comments
Let us introduce you to three of the 200 amazing Yo-kai characters you’ll grow to love once you pick up the game and start to play:
Yo-kai Watch is a week away from its launch in North America. With its release date so close and Halloween taking place on Saturday, Nintendo is doing some extra promotion for the game.
First, here’s an overview of three of the 200 Yo-kai characters in the game:
Jibanyan
Jibanyan is a slacker cat who saps your energy. When he’s not lying around eating chocolate bars, Jibanyan likes to practice his fighting moves on passing trucks — usually with painful results!
Walkappa
Walkappa makes you want to go for a swim — or jump in a lake! Most kappas stay in the water, but this one is a landlubber. He keeps a bottle of water to pour on his head to stay wet, though.
Tattletell
Ever revealed a secret without realizing it? It might be the work of Tattletell, a mischievous Yo-kai who takes the form of an elderly woman.
Nintendo has also passed along a few Halloween posters in spirit of the event. Those are in the gallery below.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam has features to make things easier for newcomers
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam’s difficulty will probably be just fine for experienced players. However, if you’re a newcomer, Nintendo has included a couple of features to make things easier.
First up is the introduction of an Easy Mode, which increases your characters’ strength. Nintendo is also including an Assist Mode to help players know who enemies are targeting in battle. It’s also worth mentioning that Toad will give you some advice saying that you should stay in battles (as opposed to running away, which will ensure that you gain experience and level up), and that equipment should be regularly upgraded.
