– Dasocks: the redundancy Yo-kai; snake, has two legs with a sock on each; when he possesses someone, they’ll always say a word too many when speaking
– Pinto Corn: never seems to understand anything that’s said to him, and his eyes are always distant; when he possesses someone, they, too, tend to say things of little importance and have a dubious grasp of what all is going on; has a habit of saying, “Huh? I don’t get it.”

Level-5 CEO would like to bring Layton 7 to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 17 Comments
Layton 7 was first announced in 2013. At the time, it was slated for 3DS in addition to mobile platforms.
Layton 7 finally resurfaced today at Level-5 Vision 2015, but as a much different title. It’s now all about cards, a plot in which players must locate vampires among a crowd, and a 3DS is no longer planned. That being said, a Nintendo version hasn’t been ruled out.
Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has said that he would like to bring Layton 7 to Wii U. Whether that interest pans out remains to be seen.
