Yo-kai Watch: digital pre-order now available in North America

Unlike Europe (who will have to wait until 2016), North America gets the first Yo-kai Watch game in roughly two weeks, on November 6th. As with most first-party games, you can pre-order it from the Nintendo eShop, and download it right away: that way, you will only have to download a small update at 12AM ET on November 6th, and you will be able to play right away.

In fact, digital pre-orders for Yo-kai Watch were launched earlier today, and you can place one via the Nintendo eShop, or via Nintendo’s website (United States / Canada). To do so, you will need $39.99 and 869MB (roughly 6 952 blocks) of free space on your SD card. Once it’s done, you only have to wait until November 6th, 12AM ET / November 6th, 9PM PT before you can play it.

If you really can’t wait until then, or want to try out the game before eventually buying it, the demo version is also available on the Nintendo eShop. To download it, you will need at least 857 blocks (roughly 107MB) of free space on your SD Card.

Yo-kai Watch (3DS) comes out on November 6th in North America, December 5th in Australia, and next year in Europe.
