Yo-kai Watch Land was a mobile game developed and published by Level-5's western branch LEVEL-5 Abby. The game was released in North America on January 3, 2016 and in Europe somewhere during the Spring of 2016 for the iOS and Android.
After over a year without updates due to Hasbro no longer manufacturing Yo-kai Watch merchandise, the application was taken off the App Store on December 31, 2018. The game is still playable offline for those who have already downloaded it, however the game cannot be re-downloaded once deleted.[1]

Trivia
- The Yo-kai Watch Land app shares similarities to the Yo-kai Pad toy in Japan as both scans medals, view Yo-kai data, and play with apps. However, the Yo-kai Pad toy features more useful apps but cannot take photos or update itself and requires batteries. This was probably done to save money for Hasbro and appeal to the mobile market.
