lmao So is this like the opposite of begging for 3DS games to be on Switch?

Yokai Watch 4 announced for Switch, coming 2018
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
I head Inazuma Eleven is very popular in Europe (makes sense, since it's football), and in Europe PS4 is by far the biggest system, so that one makes sense in that regard. Yokai Watch was mostly big in France I believe, and in France Nintendo is very big, so I think they have less incentive to bring Yokai Watch to PS4 than they have for Inazuma Eleven.
The Vita never had this problem, the Switch doesn't have it too considering 70% of the userbase uses it portable (30% only/40% docked and undocked).
You're out of luck too if you expect a new DS.
So I have never played his series. I also haven't played a poke'mon since the first two (I actually bought the yellow version, that's all I have played). Are these games different enough to play them around the same time (I could only stomach 1 collect-em-all type game in a short period of time , that is if the games are too similar)? Also, do these games have continuity between them (Yokai Watch games)?
I guess if I were to hype/look forward to a series to play, would this series be the series to invest in over poke'mon? I only ask because I wanna play a "catch-em-all" type game and these are the only two series I know of that fit that bill that are on the Nintendo platform.

Pretty much this.
The PS4 move was obv. a failsafe since their was no obv. 3DS succesor for them in sight.
No question that IE Ares Switch will outperform the PS4 version in Japan.
The moment the next mainline Pokemon was announced for Switch it was clear were things were heading in regards of these type of games.
Sounds about right, i guess!
Well, now i just hope that this game doesn't feature those new horrible designs ... i showed them to my two younger kids and ... let's just say they weren't really a fan of those. Something something, there have been scared tears from my youngest one, who played the 3DS games and kinda likes the anime show. ^^
Pretty much the same reasons i mentioned as to why the next YW game won't be on PS4.
Still great news. Really curious to see how it looks.
Jokes? It's no more a kids game than any of Nintendo's franchises, especially not more than Pokemon.
I wish at some point we'd know the cost of making a 3DS game versus a Switch one. I know they gotta make the jump, but I also wonder if any game franchises will end up mobile-only or die if there's any left from 3DS era.
you know that text can be made bigger? it's up to the devs. hell they could even give the user the choice between different text sizes.
and I really don't know what to say about the fragile joy-con argument, b/c my switch is in my backpack most of the time and there is no damage at all.
Considering the amount of games that release on PS4 in Japan and sell less than 100k, I think plenty of devs can make their low budget games work on current systems.

If Pokemon is absent this year, oh boy, Level-5 might need a new Scrooge McDuck vault.
Have you seen how most L5 mobile title performed so far? Also If the game is already developed for mobile there isn't much reason for it not to be on Switch so I don't quite understand that distinction.
Why is Luigi's Mansion only 3DS?
Not all games are going to be cross-platform, simply because they might not want to port an engine or they feel that trying to make it cross-platform will hold back the newer system.
2 is already localized for 3ds. 3 hasn't been yet. No word about it so far
Awesome! This would be separate to the Yokai Watch darkside thing right? Yokai Watch is one of those games the whole family here enjoys, when 2 came out my kid, my partner and myself all played and traded and stuff, it was a blast.
On a side note, I hope Yokai Watch 3 is still localised for 3ds, would suck for it to slip through the cracks.

Depends. Franchises like Yo-kai Watch already have mobile presence, but with different gameplay and focus. Premium games don't do too hot mobile-wise and it makes more sense to develop exclusive service games for it than just port games as they were on 3DS/Vita.
That said, Hino still wants to release L5 games for mobile, but for now it seems like games will come first to console (Switch and PS4) and then they willl see what they can do.
Finallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bring it on, Level 5. Please be good. Inazuma Eleven Ares looks incredible, so do not fuck YW up.

Doubt that. They wouldn't release a non-affiliated game in the same year as the anime when they already said it would be a cross-media project.
Same, didn't really get much in to the first one but I liked what I played, super charming and oozing with personality.
Leaker(s?) who tend to get Famitsu early. They're pretty reliable.
We should see official confirmation in about 25 minutes when Famitsu puts up their previews for the week.
Ah, cool. Thanks for the info!
I liked the 2 Yo-Kai games I played, excited to see what this game will do then :)
So is this that new "dark" reboot or the real Yo-Kai Watch?
Do we get the real Komasan?
Or a dog?
Komasan is a 狛犬, a dog.
Sure.
The kids will just ignore their 99 dollar 2DS, and go purchase a new 299 dollar console... Ok, then.
Anyway, can't wait to see more of this. My little nephew loves Yo-kai Watch.
