Yo-kai Watch 2 will be available in Australia and New Zealand on October 15, Nintendo has announced. Today’s news follows a pair of classification ratings from the region.
Nintendo posted the following on Twitter a couple of minutes ago:

Yo-kai Watch 2 rated in Australia

Yo-kai Watch 2 is only available in Japan at the moment. This will change once both versions head to North America on September 30, but what about the rest of the world?
While there hasn’t been an announcement yet, it seemed like a certain bet that Nintendo would eventually bring Yo-kai Watch 2 to Europe and Australia. And thanks to a classification from the latter continent, it’s now all but confirmed. RatingsĀ for Yo-kai Watch 2 have appeared in Australia. Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls were both added to the database today. Guess Nintendo will have something to say soon!
Thanks to Jose for the tip.

Yo-kai Watch 2 provides different bonuses depending on whether you buy physical or digital

Depending on how you buy Yo-kai Watch 2 at the end of September, different bonuses will be available to you.
Nintendo announced today that those who pick up the physical version will receive “an exclusive Yo-kai Medal from Hasbro that gives Jibanyan a powerful new in-game Soultimate Move when scanned into the game.” On the other hand, going digital provides “players the opportunity to battle and befriend new Yo-kai: Sailornyan or Robonyan F.”
Yo-kai Watch 2 will be sold in Bony Spirits and Fleshy Spirits versions. The Yo-kai and Medals differ based on the version of the game purchased.

That’s in addition to Paper Mario: Color Splash, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, Monster Hunter Generations, Dragon Quest VII, and Mario Party: Star Rush (which isn’t in Nintendo’s new press release, but was confirmed earlier today).
Pokemon GO will also be getting a developer Q&A. We’ll apparently be hearing about a new RPG IP for 3DS as well.
