Nintendo is publishing Yo-kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters in the west at the end of this month. Going along with that, Prima has prepared a new guide.

The Yo-kai Watch 2: The Definitive Yo-kai-pedia will have all sorts of information. It will cover over 350 Yo-kai, including their battle actions, abilities, resistances, and more. You can also find out “how to make your Yo-kai even stronger and create the ultimate team with all level requirements and fusion recipes included.” The guide packs in facts about the characters as well. Topping everything off is a full-color poster and a code to access the digital version of the guide.

Pre-orders for Yo-kai Watch 2: The Definitive Yo-kai-pedia are open on Amazon here. It’s due out on September 29.

The results are in for Japan’s second Splatfest in Splatoon 2. After Team Chicken McNuggets and Team French Fries faced off, Nintendo has declared a winner.

Team French Fries was by far the more popular choice with 71 percent of the vote. However, Team Chicken McNuggets had ever-so-slight edges in both solo and team battles at 51 percent each. Thanks to that, they won by a score of 2-1.

Here’s a recap of the overall results:

Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 arrived in Japan on August 31. Up until September 3, Media Create reports that 30,000 copies were sold. The sales tracker doesn’t have any extra information, but Dengeki did come through on that front.

Dengeki reports that Etrian Mystery Dungeon 2 sold through about 45 percent of its initial shipment. The game had a much lower debut than its predecessor. The first Etrian Mystery Dungeon, which came out in 2015, sold 65,000 copies in its first week (95,000 total). Because of this, the sequel looks to be off to a somewhat slow start both in terms of sales and sell-through.

Amazingly, Fire Emblem Warriors will have four different stage shows on consecutive days starting September 21. Each one should be streamed live on Niconico at least, and seemingly YouTube and Fresh as well.

If you want to buy a game these days, there are two major ways to do so. You can either purchase a physical copy at retailers, or pick up the digital version from a place like the eShop.

Some folks prefer going all digital so that games can be easily accessed. Not having to deal with boxes and clutter might be viewed as another plus. But on the other hand, buying a physical copy means you’ll absolutely have the game forever (assuming the disc doesn’t break), and it’s a way of collecting something tangible.

Personally, I’m somewhere in the middle. I do prefer physical copies, but if a game is only being sold digitally, that won’t stop me from making a purchase. And if I see that a digital copy has received a massive discount, I’ll probably opt for that instead of going the physical route.

Which side of the fence do you side on? Do you lean one way in particular? Do you refuse to buy any games digitally (or vice versa)? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
