Care to see Youkai Watch in North America and Europe? Level-5 wants to know.
On Twitter, the official Level-5 International America account wrote:
Between the game and the anime, Yo-kai Watch is a success in Japan! Would you like to see Yo-kai Watch in the US/EU? http://t.co/sFgMsAMLXf

Perhaps with enough interest, we’ll eventually see Youkai Watch – the game, anime, or both – overseas.
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 sold 443,656 copies in its first week on the Japanese market. Media Create says this resulted in a 78.65% sell-through rate.
Despite Dragon Quest Monsters 2’s initial success, it hasn’t quite reached the same heights as the first Dragon Quest Monsters 3DS remake. When Square Enix released the previous DQM title for Nintendo’s portable, it sold 513,183 copies in its first week for a 93.96% sell-through.
Of course, we should maintain some perspective here. At the end of the day, there’s no denying that Dragon Quest Monsters 2 has gotten off to a fast start and Square Enix is likely pleased with its performance.
The Luigi’s Mansion 2 diorama is back in stock once again on Club Nintendo Europe. You can place an order here. I can’t imagine it staying available for too long, so use those points while you can!
Thanks to joclo for the tip.
PhobosLab has confirmed plans to bring XType Plus to the Wii U eShop. The arcade shooter, first made available for browsers, will head to Nintendo’s console later this year.
PhobosLab’s Dominic Szablewski has confirmed to Nintendo Life that XType Plus will sport a few extra bells and whistles on Wii U – a Plus Mode, online leaderboards, a replay system, general gameplay enhancements, a new menu system, more music, more sound effects, and reworked visuals.
Although it’s Tuesday – and not the traditional Thursday for digital downloads – one new game has hit the eShop. As of now, AeternoBlade can be downloaded on 3DS in North America. You’ll need about 2,544 blocks in order to secure the game for your SD card.
