Posted on June 28, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News
Yo-kai Watch Busters is finally coming west as Yo-kai Watch Blasters, Nintendo has announced. Both versions – Red Cat Corps and White Dog Squad – will be available on September 7. And unlike past entries in the series, Yo-kai Watch Blasters will launch simultaneously in North America and Europe.
We have the following announcement from Nintendo:
On Sept. 7, two new games in the Yo-kai Watch series are coming to the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. And these new Yo-kai Watch games are unlike anything the series has seen before!
In the Yo-kai Watch Blasters: Red Cat Corps and Yo-kai Watch Blasters: White Dog Squad games, team up with up to three other friends either locally* or online to fight towering Big Bosses, using skills and powerful Soultimate Moves. While previous Yo-kai Watch games focused on turn-based battles, Yo-kai Watch Blasters drops you into real-time skirmishes in the first ever action-RPG for the series. During these battles, you directly control your Yo-kai as you strategize with different skills and equipment to defeat huge bosses. By taking on various fast-paced missions, you will embark on a journey to meet, befriend and battle more than 400 new and returning Yo-kai. Check out the trailer for the new games right here.
Training Yo-kai will also affect your team’s strength in battle. By training, you can create items and equipment to use on your personal Yo-kai team! By completing missions, more powerful and useful items can be earned.
Each of the two versions of the game contains different Yo-kai, missions and bosses. By trading between the two, you can collect all the Yo-kai! And by linking save data from the Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits, Yo-kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls or Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters games, you can get one of three special Yo-kai to take into battle.
To keep the action and content going, a free post-launch update to the game will add additional side stories, Yo-kai, bosses and missions.
Yo-kai Watch Blasters: Red Cat Corps and Yo-kai Watch Blasters: White Dog Squad launch exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on Sept. 7 at a suggested retail price of $39.99 each. Which version will you choose?
