Yo-kai Watch Busters: major update available (Getto Gumi), trailer
Last year, Level-5 released a third version of Yo-kai Watch 2 (called Shin Uchi) to go along with the first Yo-kai Watch movie. This year, the company is doing the same for Yo-kai Watch Busters, but there’s a major difference… the third version is released as a free update for the Aka Neko-dan and Shiro Inu-tai versions.
As mentioned previously, Yo-kai Watch Busters Getto-gumi includes the following: new Yo-kai, new big bosses and some new characters (from the second movie, hitting Japanese theatres on December 19th). Here’s a (partial) list of new content:
Yo-kai
- B-USApyon
- Red J
- Mighty Dog
- Onigama
- Onigumo
Big Bosses
- Robonyan 3000
- Kakusei Hinojin
- Captain Thunder
- Captain Thunder (Honki Mode / Serious Mode)
- Bushiou
Characters
- Enmai Daiou
- Nurarihyon
- Fuu2
After the update has been installed, you can chose between the original version or the Getto-gumi version from the main menu (with three save files for each). Of course, you can transfer your save data if you want, or start a new playthrough. If you own both versions (Aka Neko-dan and Shiro Inu-tai), linking them will allow you to unlock the VIP room, with some goodies (including a rather flashy gold car!).
Here’s a trailer showcasing the Getto-gumi update:
Wondering when you will be able to enjoy all this new content? Well, the answer is… right now! Even though Level-5 announced that the update would be released on December 12th, it’s already available for download from the Nintendo eShop in Japan. To download it, you have several options:
- launch the game from the Home Menu, while being connected to the internet
- search for the game on the Nintendo eShop
- use the option in the Nintendo eShop settings
