Yo-kai Watch 4 World Hobby Fair Winter 2019 trailer

[Santar]

Level-5 has released a new trailer from Yokai Watch 4.
This time showing more of the original Yokai Watch world with Keita, Whisper and Jibanyan.
Looks very promising so far. Love seeing the original environments in such high detail. So thankful that they didn't abandon the original games for the boring new "scarier" reboot.

I love the colours. It's like you can feel the warmth. Never played a Yokai game, but I'm all over how this looks in a way that Let's Go left me rather indifferent.

 

[sfortunato]

The world-map looks good and a faithful representation of what appears in 3DS games even if the view is closer to the character.

One thing that is striking to me is the fact that we have three different "dimensions" in the game. To me, rather than a deliberate choice, this was a necessity for Level-5 to make the game as palatable as possible. Possibly, it was also because of each dimension had originally a different game planned but eventually Hino decided to cluster altogether.

 

[DanarchyReigns]

Looks damn good.
Nate looks a little older now. Or perhaps they're just adjusting his model for Switch.
It looks a lot smoother too.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Quite the improvement - looking forward to this one.

 

[Shingi_70]

I thought this game was going to be about shadowside characters

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Visually it looks pretty good.

Never could get into the series though.

Yeah I thought this was gonna be edgier and shit.

the shadowside characters are one of the three dimensions you play in

game is looking good. will probably pick this up as my first YW game

This should be out after we see Pokémon 2019 so it'll be interesting to see how those two compare.
It's a big change up from the first trilogy.
Seems like a change to FF12/Xenoblade style combat but with more action.

 

[gordofredito]

wow, they really changed the gameplay! Fingers crossed this one is actually good. Bought one for the 3DS and the gameplay was completely different in a terrible way - looking forward to this one, because I'm afraid GameFreak will let me down with this year's Pokemon

seems more like Ni No Kuni to me

 

[silva1991]

Dat NNK2 combat. Will be boring if it was as easy. Looks gorgeous tho.

 

[Big One]

The battle change is already a drastic improvement for this series. I was never a fan of how Yokai Watch did it's battles and it really turned me off from buying any other game in the series outside of the first one.

 

[John Konstantin]

Has the western localization been already announced?. I'm guessing not before 2020, right?.

 

[Kass15]

Game looks really good. Hope they localize faster than the 3ds entries

 

[Faiyaz]

I always thought the 3DS games looked great, but the combat was non-existent (and terrible). Hope this one improves on that.

The Shadowside characters are in it. You play as three protagonists similar to YW3.

 

[Aiustis]

Combat looks interesting.
I liked the old system though

 

[Kouriozan]

Looks promising indeed, I wonder if we'll have to wait 3/4 years for this one to be localized as well.

 

[garion333]

Always been a good looking series, but I'm glad we're not stuck with Shadowside the whole time as I think it's a horrendous art style.

 

[Zedark]

Looks really, really good! Gameplay also looks quite interesting, so I think it could be a great game. Can't wait to play it in 2020 2021!

 

[Santar]

I wonder if we're getting Yokai Watch Blasters 2 before this or if they've given up on the 3ds now. Would be nice if it made it to the west too.
And I'm still waiting for Snack World Gold Level-5!

 

[Velezcora]

Would be cool if for this Level 5 localised this to be more faithful to the original text.
It's not the 90s anymore. Western audiences can handle playing a character from a different country.

 

[ArkhamFantasy]

The change in combat has me interested in this, i felt like i was barely doing anything in the first game, like the combat just played itself.

 

[Guaraná]

is spring 2019 still the release window?

 

[Aostia82]

Seems a solid transition from 3ds to switch
Let's hope we won't have to wait 2020 to play this..

Click to shrink...

Yes! I've always disliked how they've changed so much in the localization. Would love for a more accurate translation along with a Japanese voice option.

 

[ianpm31]

NNK taught me not to fall for the visually appealing game

 

[Zedark]

is spring 2019 still the release window?

Click to shrink...

Yes, says so at the end of the trailer (I believe, I looked up the Kanji character for springtime and it appeared in the date sequence).

 

[ILikeFeet]

Click to shrink...

if L5 handled the localization, it's possible, but they haven't really shown to have been capable of that

 

[Glio]

Like all Level 5 games, the presentation seems interesting but the gameplay does not seem very funny

 

[Carassius Auratus]

I hope it doesn't take too long to localize this time. It would be nice to play a good Mons game on the Switch this year.

 

[Aleh]

It looks really pretty. I might actually try it out this time

 

[NeonZ]

This trailer killed my biggest fear regarding the game - they showed that the Yokai are actually playable outside of the transforming character from Shadowside. The localization of this series still puts me off though. Trying to hide the Japanese origin of the Yokai is dumb and just hurts the game's appeal.

 

[Deleted member 1413]

YW3 is out next month, right?

Honestly, releasing in late 2019 seems like a bad idea because of a certain other game.
However, spring 2020 might be a good spot for it

 

[mockingbird]

hah. love the smash bros homage at the beginning.

 

[ShinobiBk]

In game framerate looks much better than the last time we saw it.

I was seeing stutters in what appeared to be cinematics, which is weird.


This game looks excellent. Looks a lot like the PS3 prototype, which makes sense

Level 5 get your heads on straight and make this a WW release please. There's no chance we see this before 2020 I think.
Will we see this one DQXI S in the West first is the question

the game is already out in Europe, though I don't know how well it did. given it's a 3DS game, I can't imagine it did ok

 

[Roukira]

I've never played a Yokai Watch game before but this looks quite cool, I hope there's a demo so that I can try and maybe get the game.

 

[JayBee]

First game i'll buy based on the changed battle system

 

[Deleted member 11413]

Looks pretty good, though I think I'm going to miss the old battle system.

 

[noyram23]

Beautiful, I hope next pokemon looks like this

 

[Mr.Deadshot]

Looks very nice. A series I have to catch up on. But maybe I'll just start with this one ;)

 

[fiendcode]

Putting that NNK2 engine to work.

 

[HypedBulborb]

First Yo-kai Watch game I'm going to buy, looks great!

 

[wrowa]

The combat sure looks a lot like Ni no Kuni 2. I suppose it's running on the same tech too - which would probably also explain the framerate issues we saw last time they showed gameplay.

 

[SpottieO]

The game looks beautiful but I'm definitely going to wait for impressions because I'm getting serious NNK2 vibes :(

 

[F4r0_Atak]

It is literally the first Ni No Kuni combat system.

 

[Lord Vatek]

This totally looks like something I'd be all over, I just don't like how the Yo-kai themselves look.

 

[Terraforce]

I hope the three styles is still implemented well. This feels like another case of L5 throwing in the kitchen sink like they're often criticized for doing. Don't know why they didn't just stick to Classic or Shadowside for their first console entry. Feels like that may be part of the reason for these constant delays.

But regardless, I'm loving what I see so far. NNK cross YW was always what I envisioned the perfect console YW would play like, so this is a dream come true.
