Yo-kai Watch is one of the games that Nintendo showcased during its Digital Event yesterday. A real phenomenom in Japan, the Yo-kai (mischievious characters inspired by the Japense folklore) are about to invade North America (this Holiday) and Europe (… in 2016). Those creatures are usually invisible to the naked eye, which is why you need the Yo-kai Watch to see them, fight them, and befriend them.

In Yo-kai Watch, you explore the world in search of those mysterious creatures, and you try to befriend them. Of course, it won’t be that easy, and you will often need to impress them during battle. Just like in Pokémon and other similar games, each Yo-kai has its own abilities and strengths. You can use them to challenge evil Yo-kai, but also help people in their daily lives.

Here’s the main features of the game:

• With the power of the Yo-kai watch, find and befriend more than 200 hidden Yo-kai, found everywhere in the world, and call upon their powers when you need their help.
• Assemble a team of six Yo-kai in your watch to defeat evil and help people.
• Each Yo-kai has its own unique skills and strengths, so use strategy to assemble your team to address different problems and fight different evil Yo-kai.
• Make your Yo-kai Watch more powerful and upgrade your Yo-kai as you play through the story.

Here’s the E3 trailer and some screenshots/artworks:
