Yo-Kai Watch 2 Bone Spirits, Fleshy Souls heading State-side this September

It looks like the Nintendo 3DS’s Yo-Kai Watch sold enough of its initial release because Yo-Kai Watch 2, is heading to the ‘West’.

Set it a modern-day era, Yo-Kai Watch centres around a male or female antagonist whose town is populated by Yo-Kai spirits. While having an over-arching story, those games include a multitude of side-quests that add to the main plot or add in decent filler segments. Think of it as Pokemon, but with ghosts and some pretty dark backstories.

Yo-Kai Watch 2 is split into three versions with Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls heading our way. There is no word if the third version, Shinuchi, will be translated or not.

The video game series is developed by Level-5 (of Ni No Kuni, and Professor Layton fame).

Both Yo-Kai Watch 2 games are set to release on 30 September in the US, but there is no word when Europe and South Africa will receive them.
