Spoilicon

One night, mysterious Yo-kai appear and wipe away the player's memories of Yo-kai befriended during the course of Yo-kai Watch 1. The player's family spends the next day downtown, where they decide to buy doughnuts. However, an argument erupts between the player's parents about which doughnuts to buy. This results in the player picking either Fleshy or Bony (depending on their game), which impacts the story massively.

The player then runs into Bear and Eddie in Uptown Springdale, who eagerly show off their new Mega Watches, which triggers a faint memory of the Yo-kai Watch that the player had. On the way back to their house, the player stumbles across the Memory Store, which is filled with watches similar to the player's previous Yo-kai Watch. The owner then reveals that his watch can reveal hidden things that normal people cannot see and sells to the player, only for him to refund the money to use in the prize machine outside.

After inserting the coin, the player is disappointed when a rock falls out of the machine as their prize. The player begins to leave but the rock starts to jump around, calling out in the voice of Whisper. The player releases him and Whisper explains the concept of Yo-kai to them, however realises they have heard about this before. The capsule then emits a strange light and the memories of Whisper and the player are restored.

Whisper then suggests they seek out Jibanyan to find out what happened to him. Upon finding him at the Fish Place, Jibanyan is shocked at being spotted by the player (who he does not recognize), and repeats the tragic story of his death. Jibanyan's memories are then restored, allowing the player to befriend him again. After travelling back to the Memory Store to investigate more, the group are shocked to discover it has vanished, leaving a plot of empty land in it's place. The player then finds a Yo-kai called Brushido, who mistakes the player for littering. Jibanyan is summoned to defeat him and he automatically befriends the player and joins their team. The group then continue home, unaware they are being watched by the thieves that stole the watch from above.

The following day, reports of crows stealing shiny objects are show on TV. The player goes to meet Eddie at Gourd Pond Park and is involved with attempting to catch Eddie's Mega Watch, which has been stolen by the Yo-kai Yoink. After retrieving the watch from the Springdale Sewers and befriending the Yo-kai Swelton along the way, the player visits the Elementary School in order to find their summer homework. While there, they befriend the Yo-kai known as Baku and notice a giant skeleton-like shadow towering over the school. They go to Timers & More to get their watch upgraded by Mr. Goodsight, but must complete a number of tasks for him before-hand. After getting the watch upgraded, they go to school at night to investigate the shadow, leading them to the Yo-kai Gutsy Bones.

The following day, the protagonist encounters a large blue cat Yo-kai while in Shoppers Row, who turns objects around him gigantic. The Yo-kai in question then hypnotises the player into visiting their grandma in the rural town of Harrisville. After arriving via train, the player completes some side tasks then encounters several Yo-kai arguing about the Fleshy Souls and Bony Spirits. The next day, the player encounters the same blue cat Yo-kai, who reveals himself as Meganyan. Battling him, he grows back to normal and turns into Hovernyan, a ca Yo-kai from 60 years ago who tells the player that their grandfather needs their help and transports them into the past using a Time Stone.

Arriving in the past, the characters encounter people who have been inspirited by "Wicked Yo-kai", a type of Yo-kai that the protagonist cannot see with their Yo-kai Watch. They then encounter a younger version of their grandfather, a wild youth who acts like a superhero and looks identical to them. After meeting with their grandparent, they come across plans for building the Yo-kai Watch Model Zero, a prototype model that can detect Wicked Yo-kai. The protagonist helps to build the watch, and also find and free five Classic Yo-kai which were particularly close to their grandfather. They later meet the two evil Yo-kai who stole the protagonist's Yo-kai Watch and memories, who reveal themselves to be Kin and Gin, Wicked Yo-kai with the ability to rewind time. After defeating Kin and Gin, the protagonist's grandfather accepts them as their "sidekick".

Having returned to the present, Jibanyan and the protagonist get into an argument, which leads to Jibanyan running away from home. Jibanyan is then whisked away from the present by Kin and Gin, returning to being a living cat called Rudy, owned by his owner, Amy, forcing him to relive his death. Kin and Gin try to convince him to let Amy die, but Rudy saves Amy again and returns to the present. That same night, a Yo-kai couple, Ray O'Light and Drizzelda, are attacked by Eyeclone, whose rage over their display of affection causes a typhoon in Springdale. Another Yo-kai, Brokenbrella, sees this occurring and goes to the protagonist for help. The protagonist then defeats Eyeclone, stopping the typhoon and saving Ray O'Light and Drizzelda.

Hovernyan appears again, asking the protagonist to come back to the past. When they arrive, Hovernyan tells them that a large battle is occurring between the "Fleshy Souls" and "Bony Spirits", two Yo-kai factions that have been at war for hundreds of years. The protagonist goes to the battlefield in to cease the conflict, although ends up fighting on behalf of one of the factions. Defeating the general of the opposing side, they are told that the reason the war began was an argument about doughnut fillings, which escalated over time. The protagonist's grandfather then arrives and reveals that many of the Yo-kai on the battlefield are actually Wicked Yo-kai in disguise. Kin and Gin arrive, followed by, Dame Dedtime, the boss of the Wicked Yo-kai.

Dame Dedtime summons Unfairy to attack the group, but he is restrained by the joint efforts of both generals. The protagonist learns of a Yo-kai called Master Nyada that can grant them the power to fight the Wicked Yo-kai. After finding him and beating his trials, Master Nyada gives them a hose, telling them it will give them the power to beat the wicked Yo-kai. They return to Unfairy, who has broken free from Toadal Dude and Arachnus, and can hear Master Nyada telling them to "use the hose". Whisper and Jibanyan use the hose to knock down Unfairy, giving he protagonist the chance to take him down. After this, Toadal Dude and Arachnus call an official truce to the conflict between their two factions. However, wicked Yo-kai have begun to swarm in on Springdale and Dame Dedtime unleashes a "Dedcloud" that will take control of humans and change the future into one in her image. She then sends the protagonist and their companions to the future that will exist if her plans are not stopped, in which Springdale is overrun by Wicked Yo-kai who control the joyless citizens and Yo-kai.

The protagonist uses Miradox to get back to the Past, where they set about attempting to destroy the machines producing the Dedcloud. They are then eventually led towards Dame Dedtime's base of operations. While their grandfather tries to hold off Kin and Gin with Hovernyan, the protagonist tries to take down Dame Dedtime, but finds that their efforts are in vain as she appears to be immortal. However, Hovernyan gives the protagonist's grandfather the milk bottle tops that he wrote his Yo-kai friends' names on. Finally able to accept himself as their friend and someone they see as a hero, Nathaniel/Kenny screams to the Yo-kai for help, causing the milk bottle tops to transform into Yo-kai Medals, and the Yo-kai Watch Model Zero to appear on his wrist. He uses them to summon the Classic Yo-kai, and takes down Kin and Gin for good. The protagonist battles Dame Dedtime again, and is this time able to defeat her. However, she then begins to absorb the life force of the humans of Old Springdale, leaving behind only darkness, vowing that she'll take away joy and time from all humans as revenge for them doing the same thing to her when she had been convicted of a crime she didn't commit during her human life. Darkness spreads across the world, and the power she absorbs transforms her into her more powerful form, Dame Demona. The protagonist and crew are able to defeat Dame Demona, saving humanity and turning the protagonist's present back to normal. Afterwards, the protagonist's grandfather promises to finish work on creating the Yo-kai Watch, and thanks their grandchild for everything they've done. The protagonist then returns to their own time, with Whisper and Jibanyan in tow.

Spoilers end here.

New Features[]

New Areas[]

Two completely new areas are introduced into the game; those being Harrisville and San Fantastico, which can be explored by the player and reached via the Springdale Railway train. Some smaller new locations also appear back in Springdale, the most notable being Excellent Tower. Yo-kai Watch 2 also adds a time travel mechanic, allowing the player to explore Old Springdale from 60 years in the Past as part of the main story.

Yo-kai Watch Features[]

The Yo-kai Watch lens can be used in new ways throughout the game. Shining the light in specific spots allows the player to uncover Baffle Boards - a puzzle mechanic used throughout the game - while other spots uncover mysterious Gates of Whimsy - a side mechanic used for certain quests that yield certain orbs.

Battles[]

The battle system remains similar to the one implemented in Yo-kai Watch 1, however is changed slightly with the Yo-kai Watch Model Zero to include the Poke and M-Skill tabs, which replace the Target and Soultimate functions. The player may also encounter Yo-kai that can challenge them to a full six-versus-six battle. Hostile Yo-kai's favourite foods and elemental weaknesses can also now be seen when hovering over them during battle with the targeting function after obtaining the Yo-kai Watch Model Zero.

Minigames[]

Yo-kai Watch 2 adds many new minigames, including new Soultimate puzzles, overworld bike racing, eating contests and music games. These minigames can give the player prizes or trigger special events.

Random Events[]

Several new random events have been added to enhance the gameplay, such as the Red Box guy, Mimikin Dancing Minigame and the Fox's Wedding.

Yo-kai[]

One of the most notable additions to Yo-kai Watch 2 is the substantial increase in befriendable Yo-kai. Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls contain 184 new species of Yo-kai, though some are version exclusive. Especially notable is the player's ability to befriend Yo-kai who served as bosses in the previous game, such as Slimamander and Wobblewok.

New Yo-kai known as "Classic Yo-kai" are introduced, which are based on original, mythical Yo-kai from Japanese folklore. These type of Yo-kai can only be found in the Past. A new tribe known as the "Wicked" tribe was added, composed of Wicked Yo-kai from throughout the story.

Some smaller changes were also made, such as evolutions being slightly changed and the ability for Yo-kai to follow the player around in the overworld.

Soul Gems[]

Main article: Soulcery

In Harrisville, the player can now have their befriended Yo-kai converted into Soul Gems at the shrine which forms into a soul that can be equipped onto Yo-kai, also coming with varying effects. They can be levelled up by combining two souls of the same tribe, giving greater effects.

Training[]

Reception[]

Review scores
Publication Score
Famitsu 36 of 40 (9, 9, 9, 9)
Level-Up 6.3/10
Nintendo Life 6/10
IGN 5.5/10
GameSpot 5/10
USgamer 5/10
Metacritic Reviews Bony Spirits: 66
Fleshy Souls: 63

In Japan, Famitsu gave Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls a score of 36 out of 40 and later gave Psychic Specters the same rating.

However in North America, Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls received mixed reviews upon the release compared to their predecessor. Level-Up gave it a score of 6.3 out of 10, given "With no animation upgrades and a corny narrative, Yo-kai Watch 2 is an RPG that took one step forward and two —or maybe three— steps back by not contributing with something fresh.". Nintendo Life gave it a score of 6 out of 10, given "Instead of evolving, Yo-kai Watch 2 plays it safe by fusing new content – some good, some trivial, and some bad – onto a recycled frame, and the result is what we refer to as a sophomore slump.".

Gaming website IGN gave it a 5.5. rating out of 10, given "For every new story idea or impressive blend of humor and pathos in its writing, Yo-kai Watch 2 fails to breathe life into the act of actually playing it.". Gamespot give it a 5 of 10, given "The game feels old hat, taking you through well-trod ground–albeit with a fresh coat of paint and a few new faces.". USgamer gave it a 5 out of 10, given "If you’re looking for an alternative to Pokemon, you might want to see if the next game fixes Yo-kai Watch’s woes—if it gets localized, that is.". Despite all of the mixed reception, Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls did get better reviews from Metacritic.

Accolades[]

Yo-kai Watch 2 won three awards at Japan Game Awards 2015, with Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls receiving three awards and Shinuchi two awards. The game received the Famitsu Awards in 2014.[8][12]

Yo-kai Watch Original Soundtrack[]

Main article: Yo-kai Watch Original Soundtrack

The Yo-kai Watch 2 soundtrack was composed by Ken'ichirō Saigō who was also responsible for the soundtrack of the first Yo-kai Watch game. It contains new themes, as well as returning ones from the first game and others from the anime series.

Trivia[]

PsychicSpectersNABoxart

Original North American Psychic Specters boxart.

  • The box art differs from the Japanese version. However, those of North America, Australia and New Zealand came the closest. The European version added Nate onto the cover.
  • When Psychic Specters was announced for a western localization, an earlier version of the boxart was present for a while, which is based off the Japanese one with a green hue.
  • If the additional Hasbro QR Medals aren't counted, this is the only localized game in the series to have the QR rewards from the Bandai Medals completely unchanged.
  • This is the only video game in the series to be translated into Dutch and Russian languages, and was also the only Nintendo 3DS game released in 2017 to be translated in Russian.
  • At the beginning of Katie's Yo-kai Butler in the Yo-kai Watch anime series, a Nintendo 3DS game bearing a logo similar to the Japanese Yo-kai Watch 2 logo can be seen next to the trash in Nate's room.
  • This is the last Yo-kai Watch video game on the 3DS eShop to have a demo.
