Players can overcome challenges and help various characters solve everyday problems with the help of Yo-kai friends. These eccentric Yo-kai resemble anything from inanimate objects to mythical creatures.

Yo-kai are not ghosts, monsters or creatures. Yo-kai are, quite simply, Yo-kai. They cannot be seen by the human eye, but they are everywhere. Whether born from the soul of a deceased human, or an everyday object discovering its higher purpose, their personalities are distinctly humanlike.

After the 2013 launch in Japan, the 3DS game became a top seller and was well-received by both critics and players. Along with the anime and manga, the Yo-Kai Watch phenomenon evoked wide-spread popularity and demand for the brand among children.

Nintendo has created a 2DS bundle to celebrate the launch of the Yo-Kai Watch game.

Starting Nov. 6, people can buy a 2DS system that comes with a pre-installed version of Yo-Kai Watch, all for a suggested retail price of just $99.99! Nintendo 2DS plays all compatible 3DS and Nintendo DS games in 2D. The system is designed to give first-time players an accessible entry point into the exciting world of Nintendo hand-held video games, and Yo-Kai Watch makes for a great pairing.
