The thing about the "remake" is that if you look at the game files you'll realise it's actually a direct port of the 3DS version but reworked for other platforms, so everything is basically identical aside from the few new things they added
This is a PSA to all Yo-Kai fans: WE ARE GETTING A NEW GAME During the last Level 5 Vision, they teased a new game with a mascot looking oddly similar to Jibanyan. We also have reason to believe that this new game will be called Ghost Craft. It has been directly confirmed that we'll get a proper reveal this Summer and indirectly confirmed that it will release worldwide, at the same time as the Japanese version
I just finished replaying the original game on 3DS! It’s been fun to compare my modern team to my previous two runs from years ago. I remember playing it for the first time when it first released in the West, when I was the same age as Nate and the others, and I was instantly drawn in :) Still remains one of my favorite series
I actually remember coming across an article on the Yo-kai Watch reddit saying how Level 5 does plan on bringing the series back to the West. It should be happening sometime this year. If I had to bet on when, I'd say during a nintendo direct.
wayfaror manor doesnt work off your switch friend list actually, you speak to the owner and a random amount of yokai can appear in the mansion , you can do this daily. This includes VIP yokai like pandanoko which are much easier to befriend!
Christmas, 2015, three games, one copy of Omega Ruby, one copy of Smash Bros, one copy of the original masterpiece. And my idea of good video games were flipped on the head.
I hope to see Yokai-Watch return once we hear the announcements, I love both the game and show and playing it officially in English would be a dream come true!
I took down all of my old ones at one point because I was planning to rebrand the channel earlier in the year and for some reason there's no option to hide or private them. There's also one I took down recently because I talked about a video that I ultimately decided to not make.
This marathon inspired me to finish 1-3 and blasters for like the first time, they're all wonderful games (I think 2's my favorite though since I watched the movie when it premiered in theaters so I connected with it more)
Honestly, it does make sense the purification thing was at least decent. The first game, from what I remember hearing, started production on the PS3. So it would make enough sense to me that they had those ideas saved. Although, considering Nintendo of America was the original reason we got these games outside of Japan, it was a VERY good thing production swapped to the 3DS.
I’m surprised this port didn’t get a barebones localization as a digital exclusive. I mean they already got the 3DS game localized to base it on. But I guess Level-5 has zero faith in Yokai Watch doing well in the States or other English speaking countries, especially during the time of release. Still neat to see stuff like the cutscenes and artwork be in HD though. I’m kinda excited to see you appear to tackle Yokai Watch Jam: Y Academy (or whatever the literal translations of the Japanese title is that’s slipping my mind at the moment) in the next possible videos. As I haven’t encountered much people talking about that part of the franchise.
As someone with Yo-Kai Watch 1 Switch physically, I'd love it if they did a physical release if they do it for any Yo-Kai Watch game to test the waters in the west. Also Yo-Kai Watch 2 on switch would go hard imo
The success of something like PalWorld (even tho it seems like it never existed honestly) shows that people are getting sick of Pokémon (YKW is vastly different but it is still the same genre), which is honestly makes it surprising how Level 5 never bothered to port YKW1 Switch over in the west. There is an audience and the fandom had being growing, especially recently. It's hopefully only a matter of time before Level 5 does something with YKW in the West. Level 5 hear our prayers 🙏
The improved visuals are total eye candy to me. It also means alot to me you can more feasibly get Pandanoko. However, the ability to get Gemnyans and Crank Coins irks me immensely. I sincerely hope YKW2, Busters RCCWDS and YKW3 can get similar treatment and make getting everything more reasonable. You would think that since an EN patch that can be installed with a mere mod would make this a safe and low risk EN release but then I imagine there are Union VA contracts getting in the way among other reasons. Just my theory.
You know you really should have said something for the next game you're going to cover like, "See you next time as we head back to School!". You know, Y Gakkuen! I'm sure you can think of something better!
Yeah, I know that's a running thing I do with this series, but this video isn't technically a "normal" part of it, so I didn't really write it in a similar fashion to the others. I'll be sure to come up with something silly for the next one though, don't worry.
Need you to talk about Yo-Kai Watch Wibble Wobble and it's soul exchange with Puni Puni man. I'm sure it would be very cool. Specially with the abnormous amount of content it has now.
You know I’ve been wondering this when I first saw that yo Kai watch one was remade on switch the very first thing that I wondered was “if we can’t scan QR codes any more how do we get the gemnyans?” Can we just not get them anymore,are they a post game thing now,or do we have to do some special side quests to get them? If anyone knows how please tell me!🙏🙏🙏
They're a lot harder to get in this version. Your best bet of getting them is through the Wayfarer Manor, but they're pretty rare. You can also scan in their individual keystones (or arks) to get their items, but that involves tracking them down and dishing out the money to buy them.
@@ChrominizeThat’s good! Oh and also, I hope the other games on the 3DS get remasters like this one. And I also weirdly want remasters of the Inazuma Eleven GO trilogy because the overworld gameplay of those has always seemed like a Yo-kai Watch prototype to me. I mean, Nate and Katie even appear as guest characters in GO Galaxy!
@@juliannocartagena2007 As cool as some Inazuma remasters would be, they're probably better off actually getting Victory Road out the door first considering how long it's been in development hell.
@@Chrominize Yeah, you’re right. Oh and what do you think of Megaton Musashi Wired, LEVEL-5’s latest game that’s actually an expansion of a game from 3 years ago!
@@juliannocartagena2007 I played through it and liked it quite a bit. The amount of content it has seems almost endless, but I guess that happens when you work off the same base game for years.
@Chrominize love this retrospective series, I wish the videos would be 2 hours long, but I know it would take a long time, please do a video on Sangokushi (most underrated ykw game), also I think you should revisit Busters 2. It's still the worst Ykw game, but the English mod has a full story translation, so at least you can review that
i am genuinely REALLY hoping this series comes back soon, its just too good and the charm is immaculate
It's gotta happen someday!
Level 5 dropped this teaser 4 months ago. Looks like a reboot
th-cam.com/video/h1xkQsmtmeI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=JLw7j-j_KTCSD-2a
There was that cat with red and white fur but we really know NOTHING about it.
The charm kinda disappeared in yo-kai watch 4 sadly :(
@@PhantomX6062958Idk I think 4 had a lot of that charm, and the game is probably top 2 while 3 being on top.
We really need Yokai Watch 4 globally
It's almost yokai watch 4 5th anniversary so hopes are not high sadly
I’m saving my money to get yo Kai watch 4 for my Nintendo switch on eBay before the English version comes out someday
Just play the game on Ryujinx with the English Fan Patch, that's what I'm doing and it's AMAZING!
The thing about the "remake" is that if you look at the game files you'll realise it's actually a direct port of the 3DS version but reworked for other platforms, so everything is basically identical aside from the few new things they added
Honestly that's amazing actually. Wish Pokemon would do that for gen 5 rather than doing remakes. Hopefully that happens

yea not looking so good...
THEY USED AI IT'S SO OVER
celebrated too early...
Wake up babe, new yokai watch video dropped. I love this game so much. I hope we can get a new game soon, the originals had so much charm to them

It really did.

Man, I gotta stop trusting wiki pages.
@@Chrominize yeah haha the yokai watch wiki is extremely unreliable for most things
@@Chrominize Please ask the Discord servers instead. The fan wiki is horrendous
@@LgameZ I will definitely have to do that for Y Academy.

I coulda sworn online battling existed
I know because people won't stop talking about how meta-defining Slimamander is
Online battles existed from 2 onwards, Slimamander was also only a boss in 1 so you probably heard about how good he was in 2.
@@Chrominize Oh, I was under the impression you meant online battles here were a franchise first
I get it now
I want Yokai Watch back so much, this show was a big enjoyment for me as a kid
i coulda sworn chrominize had more than 2 community posts
I took down all of my old ones at one point because I was planning to rebrand the channel earlier in the year and for some reason there's no option to hide or private them. There's also one I took down recently because I talked about a video that I ultimately decided to not make.
Chrominize is back! 😭🙌🎉
Yep, about time.
@@Chrominizewelcome back (:

Totally fair! 2 is great.
hes back 10/10
Yo Kai watch is a series that just makes me want to travel back to its golden era

Although, considering Nintendo of America was the original reason we got these games outside of Japan, it was a VERY good thing production swapped to the 3DS.
1:57 hearing this tune after years made me feel something I haven't felt in a while.
I got the smartphone version a few days ago so this is really good timing
I really like your reviews man keep it up! Waiting on that y gakuen review
HELL YEAH, an extra retrospective episode than what was originally planned. Thank you Chrominize you legend 👑
Thanks for watching!
Just played ykw4 on emulator with the English fan translation. It’s was such a good time
A yo kai watch discussion video in 2024 I feel blessed 💚
Oh my good why tf didnt yt give me a notification??? Bro we missed you!

YESSIR
Soo nice to watch a new vid from you! Just Love for you bro!
As someone with Yo-Kai Watch 1 Switch physically, I'd love it if they did a physical release if they do it for any Yo-Kai Watch game to test the waters in the west. Also Yo-Kai Watch 2 on switch would go hard imo
Only one more video to go or maybe two if we make something about the spinoffs

Yo I remember your old mcsg videos lol good times
Finally it here let’s gooo 🎉
So good to see a new upload!
Glad to finally put something out.
I love Yo-Kai watch, it really has stuck with me all these years. I really want to play YKW4 in English man that would be dope
The legend uploaded again!
Honestly I hope they localize this port. I feel it could find new life on the switch in the west.
FIrst vid i found from you, keep up the good work , really excited for the Series Retrospektive, isntantly subsribed
Thank you!
hoping they'll announce a remake of 2 soon

Been expecting this video. Hope it somehow gets remade for pc! Steam!? Although not yet
Thanks man!
if only level 5 localized all the switch remakes
man i miss the 3ds days of pookiemans and yonko rolexes
ykwV when

4:55 still sad that I can't have him on my ps4 copy.
Same here!
Yokai watch is coming back there will be a trailer in June I think.
Well, Level-5 has an event planned for this summer, but they didn't specify the month, so there's a chance it could be July or August.
wdym saves like 2 and onwards? yokai watch 2 doesn’t save before cranks
Whoops, I guess you're right lmao
The Gakuen video is goanna be peak.
I haven't even finished the game before or watched any of the series beyond the movie, so it's gonna be an interesting experience, for sure.
@@Chrominize Yeah, if you give it a chance, Gakuen Y pretty good. But that's just my Opinion, Hope you enjoy!
We a got a "Yo Kai Watch Remake" before we get GTA VI (Or Yo Kai Watch 4 stateside). 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Yokai Watch 🤑
4:21
Wait does it? I thought it just spawned 1-3 yo-kai every day, maybe you can't use it because you're playing on emulator
No, you're right. I got it wrong. I shouldn't have listened to the wiki.
@@Chrominize the wiki is ok, bothers me that they don't have a complete list of all bandai medals
@Chrominize love this retrospective series, I wish the videos would be 2 hours long, but I know it would take a long time, please do a video on Sangokushi (most underrated ykw game), also I think you should revisit Busters 2. It's still the worst Ykw game, but the English mod has a full story translation, so at least you can review that
WHAAAAAT
ye
😮
Theres is no online battle tho?
No they added them in this version, you can access them from the bank IIRC.
I never liked Yokai watch despite being the biggest level 5 fan with Inazuma, but it's just so weird and sad how much it fell popularity wise.
Can you still play it on Nintendo or how did you do it
:o
If you read this, you're not first
Correct, but I don’t mind (:
WJAT A PLOT TWIST
Thats cool but I could care less
GG
Can you scan your yo-kai metal toys?
Where is it in the description where I can emulate yo Kai watch 1 for switch in English.
Whoops. It's updated now with the patch.
E
So true.
ykw1 remade is better than ykw4 smh, they changed it so much it wasnt fun for me
That's a take I don't see often.
😅
