Yo-kai Watch 4 coming to Playstation 4
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
Try three games.
Inazuma Eleven Ares, Megaton Musashi and Ushiro are all stuck in development hell. The latter was originally going to be a PSP game too.
Goddamn I totally forgot that they said they were bringing Ushiro to the Switch.
It did. It's called Fantasy Life Online now. Of course it's Japan only.
It's a bit funny how you call out the "console warriors", but honestly you're the one acting the closest to one.
Everybody here agrees that Level 5 has been sucking at managing their franchises. That's all there is to it.
A console having a high install base doesnt ever guarantee a game will have good sales, moreover the PS4 installbase was built on games like destiny and uncharted, not games like games like yokai watch. Even series like digimon didnt aim for the same audience As Pokemon and yokai watch on PS4, so they wont naturally be attracted to something like YW4 on PS4, this should be common sense
Context isn't irrelevant, lol.
Which will release first? Ares or Half Life 3?
There's a Media Create thread you are more than welcome to go look at. Also the Switch Lite comes out next week.
Context is just an excuse ;-)
Fuck me at the indignation in this thread. I thought I was safe from the Media Create fracas when I put the OP of those threads on ignore. Evidently not.
Regardless, it looks decent. Never heard of the franchise before but if it saunters west I may give it a crack.

Man, Level 5 is that far gone eh? Gotta try to milk what you can from your shriveled cash cows now.
There's no issue with it. No one is salty this game is getting ported.
https://www.resetera.com/threads/yo-kai-watch-1-is-coming-to-nintendo-switch-in-japan.128866/ Like in this thread of them announcing a YW game for Switch and people criticizing them.
I can't comment on whether they are far gone or not but let's hope that they are so they have no choice but to make Dark Cloud 3
In every single recent thread about Yokai Watch you will see the same talk regardless of what platform it's on
This is not new for the series and Level 5's handling of it at all

we can't help that you're trolling. go back to gamefaqs with that bullshit!
A reminder. After going dark & edgy failed, Level-5's next move for Yo-kai Watch is *rolls dice* High School AU & Kamen Rider.
I am not kidding.
I am not kidding.
Nice, I've been curious about this series and from the trailer it looks like some itches might be scratched.
Suddenly, my pet theory that Hino's management style is based on throwing slips of paper into a hat and pulling two out to get the next franchise idea got a hell of a lot more plausible.
and we got one film on netflix. and the series is canned in the u.s :/
"The next Inazuma Eleven will feature..."
*Rustles paper*
"...shoujo romance and giant mecha."
I wouldn't say its particularly strange. Series like Yokai Watch were locked into the Nintendo ecosystem because their previous handhelds were completely far apart from other system, both in power, architecture, APIs, etc. Just as the Switch is able to receive ports from current consoles, so to are former Nintendo exclusives up for porting to more powerful consoles. The same is happening to AA, and I'm sure SMTV as well unless it's being funded by Nintendo.
There's not enough of the combat gameplay in this trailer to even know if the framerates dips like it does in Switch, but it still looks like it's still 30 fps.
I missed this...I don't have any regret that I didn't know about this sooner.
The movies are all over the place after the first.
The second is an anthology with four short stories and a fifth longer one. At least it has Lord Enma.
The third incorporates live-action. I have no idea how they would have localized that one.
The fourth is the introduction to Shadowside which was important to the fourth game and lead to a spin-off anime (that only lasted 49 episodes before going back to the original series)
The fifth is a prequel to the franchise that also takes place during the time travel of the first movie. It's also important to the fourth game.
The fact you need two movies in order to help with the story of the video game is NOT A GOOD THING
The thing is that when YW initially started to fall off Hino blamed it on the older fans falling off, which is why we got Shadowside. Shadowside was a flop for them so now you have them trying this stuff.
Er...would this port really come to the west if Nintendo is still supposedly handling the localization of this series? And if Level-5 themselves are doing the localization independently for this entry how long do we have to wait until we get this title assuming they was to bring out both versions at the same time?
One would assume that Level-5 would try to secure the necessary funding to handle the localization themselves if they had an interest in bringing it over on both systems. In that instance, I doubt Nintendo would have any problems picking it up for publishing on the Switch, as we saw with Dragon Quest Builders 2, but the question becomes how the PS4 version would be handled in terms of publishing. Does Bamco pick it up like they did for Ni no Kuni, or does it skew too young for their brand? Do they pursue another publisher altogether? Do they take the option of self-publishing it digitally and forgo a physical release altogether? There's a lot of variables there that make the path forward for the PS4 version a lot trickier outside of Japan, and I don't know what would be a good option for them this late in the game.
