I thought this was going to be a Switch 2 Exclusive?? Well no reason to buy the system now.
I thought this already came out a decade ago
>>747533116Did it?
>>747533014the only thing I know about yokai watch is that it added the ugliest mount possible (inflatable flying ghost sperm) to FF14 so I hated it
>>747533116I dislike gaming on a 4inch screen, add a 0 minimal.
>>747533116Are you thinking of the original versions of Yo-kai Watch 2 or the port of YKW 1.
>>747533014Love this trend. Very happy that the Professor Layton games both the new one and the upcoming Remakes of the old ones are getting released on steam aswell.
>>747533014>yokAI slopLOL
>>747533116you remember correctly
>>747535250I don't want to play that game. Does riding him raise the crit rate in that, making him really good in that game as well?
We're not getting this for six years, Level 5 is a fucking embarrassment
Any of you playing wibwob on youtube?
>>747533014>They're going to launch it on Steam, which will force them to admit if they used AIThey're just begging to get owned at this point
>>747535542no, all mounts are mechanically identical except for some being able to carry extra passengers, mounts have no impact on combat.You can also get some of the yokai as vanity pets while the yokai watch event is running, and due to FF14 having a Lord of Vermilion clone built in, this means you can send them into battle there. IDK which of those are good or bad, the lord of verminion meta is pretty much fixed and most people play it vs the AI because you can spam the wins needed to place in most LoV tournaments from just getting max wins vs AI.>>747535307I like games made for handhelds to be on small screens. Advance Wars on GBA/DS looks better than the upscaled 3D advance wars on switch played on a TV screen.
>>747535919Yeah, I beat all the levels, and every once in a while I return to it to try to get the third star on several levels. I don't 100% get how the scoring system works. I can't lie, I really like it even though it's a mobile game. I kinda wish I had properly gotten into it back when it was still available over here. I guess I could try to download Puni Puni. There's also a guy making his own version of it as a fan game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEXV_HSbysE
>>747535307What about emulation?
>>747533014>Buying AIslopHave some standards anon.
>>747533014So this is a monster tamer, but does it have breeding/synthesis ?
You know how in YKW2 there was a quest that unlocked a bunch of concept art and storyboards? How do you think they will fuck it up in HD? >>747540479There's fusion, but it's not free-form like SMT or DQM. You can only combine Yo-kai with specific other Yo-kai and items to evolve them. There's also soulcery, where you entomb a yo-kai into a gem that's equipable with some kind of effect. And if you combine two specific gems, you get a rare one with a new, better effect.
>>747541002I'm guessing there's a lot of depth in soulcery?
>>747541140It's still a kids games so it all boils down to getting yo-kai to become souls, then either grinding for a bunch of fodder souls to level the gem up or getting a guide on all the rare gems and getting the needed yokai. There's also figuring out which yo-kai should be equipped with which soul gems, but that goes without saying.
>>747541519well pokemon has EVs and DQM has breeding so kids game is a bit of a broad label. I've seen people talk about it alot in monster catching circles but never really checked it out, as Im most attracted to breeding and DQM. What you're describing almost sounds more like dark cloud than anything else I could compare it to.
>>747541809That makes sense; the same company made both. I like these games for mostly non-gameplay reasons. The battle system only really shines in boss fights in my eyes. To me the games are good because it's fun to explore every part of the world and do quests. Finding secrets and meeting weirdos like this and the novelty of putting something like him in my party.There is a thing where, like DQM, your party is on autopilot, resulting in team building being more important. But there's almost no building an individual yokai. You can only change their stats by unlocking the fitness club and spending gym points. It's mostly just figuring out who works with who and puting them in the right spot.
>>747535861are you serious? will they localize the other game for ps5 anytime soon?
>>747535986They will lie about it and deny it until someone finds AI art in the game, and then they will claim they left some some placeholder art by "mistake".
>>747533014What the fuck is level 5 thinking with bringing over Yokai watch 2 remake to west before Yokai watch 1 that is on Switch 1 untranslated in japan.. Bring that shit first to Switch 2 and PC before the second game.
>>747535454>yokAIThere's an AI porn artist on pixiv with that name
>>747535986Wait, they are denying it? Why? Their CEO is constantly bragging about using IA even to wipe his ass
>>747544460Because Yo-kai Watch 1 is the worst mainline game in the series. I don't think YKW 1 can win many people over, but 2 can because it's mostly the same game, but better. If you told me that you would rather replay Yo-kai Watch 1 instead of 2, I would look at you funny.>>747544547Do they gen yo-kai porn?
>>747544745Yes i know that. But i want all the games released on Switch 2 and PC.It being stuck on the 3DS with shit stylus controls sucks.
>>747535250he's hilarious and voiced by tomokazu seki aka GOOOOD FINGEEEEEER!
>>747533116Are you thinking about Yokai Watch 4? Which didn't get localized because of COVID?
>>747544903I thought it did touch controls pretty well. It's also possible to play the game without touching the stylus at all. But it is suboptimal for a lot of the purification and soultimate micro-games. Especially the spinning ones. You can work around that if you emulate them on PC with the mouse. But the spinning uses the circle pad, and it isn't as fast. I forget if this is a 3 exclusive QOL, but you can fish by mashing the A button, and I don't get why that isn't the case for the soultimate charge.
i would like to see how Nate's friends would be if the had also a Yo-kai watch.
>>747545582There were those Kaite AU episodes of the anime and the quests in 3. It would just be 21 more versions of that. Except for the kid who was Enma's son. He's a yo-kai, so that would be a pretty different perspective. And the two girls who have that paranormal club would be different enough to see how that world would be, since they're already into that. And they might have a running gag where they hype themselves up thinking they'll meet something with blood curses and shit, but it's actually a bunch of shmoes that make life inconvenient in increasingly obtuse ways.
>>747546343>The one who most deserves it.
>>747546784You just want to fuck her.
>>747546343I’ve always liked that in Yo-kai Watch 4, one of the story missions literally lets you play as Katie; she’s follows a cute little ghostly dog, gets a Yo-kai Watch, and she's now involved in the plot, rather than her being an outsider to the events—unlike all of Nate’s friends.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EokDWVeP81Q&t=4449s
>>747547083You're a retard.
>>747533014>Pokémon rip-offIt's the epitome of snoy garbage. Same with Palworld.
>>747533014>>747533116Did the original game have panties shots or nah?
>>747547483But it was pushed by Nintendo for several years. 1 had a StreetPass puzzle, and 2 was featured at E3 by them.
>>747535986>>747543938>>747544690Are you guys going to keep seething over every level-5 game? Even ZUN uses AI art and no one gives a shit so long it makes sense. I'm going to hate the threads if you morons are also going to be in Deca-Police or maybe you won't because it's a cop-themed game and I know some "anons" here are xitter they/them fags..
>>747547483
>>747547423Darn, i miss these 2.
>>747533014Is Yokai even good?
>>747547751this is funny because Pokemon actually copied YW at their peak
>>747548582They're charming as hell and filled to the brim with stuff to find and do. All while some great music backs it all. If SOVL were still a working buzzword, it'd perfectly describe these games. I can't deny that the autobattling-based combat can be a deal-breaker. It also has that issue where it's so easy it's systems and mechanics feel kinda pointless except for some post-game stuff, or if you're doing some kinda challenge run or have a hard mode mod. It's also very childish, so if you don't like stupid baby shit you won't like the king of stupid baby shit. The yo-kai designs are something where you need to be in the right mindset to like them. But I have no idea what that mindset is.
>>747545149>Which didn't get localized because of COVID?I would argue it's likely more because the series was already dying in the west at that point. Blasters and 3 were both limited print runs which is why they're so astronomically costly nowadays.
I didn't really like the tirst yokai watch's gameplay especially the pre-battle segment where you are chasing these yokai with the watch. It was serviceable at best using touchscreen but really awful using joystick which will be the main control of this remake.
>>747550504YW1 Switch was fine, there's no reason to think 2 will be bad.https://youtu.be/xJSHqcra3Yw?t=15266
>>747548652weird myth
>>747550008The soundtrack is another brilliant aspect of this franchise; it is extremely iconic and truly captures the vibe of the Yo-kai—especially the music for the spookier areas in each game.There is the boss rush content found in the Infinite Inferno and Divine Paradise......as well as the Infinite Tunnel and Hazy Lane areas which within the context of the game are like a Backrooms area.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiDl33YLJpQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2RZq-7bsvJA&thttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjJ8iqDlPLc&t
>>747535454Fuck level 5, not Yo-kai watch.
>>747550837You know, on the topic of the Infinite Tunnel and Hazy Lane, I was talking with my brother about those things, and it wouldn't take that much to rework them into a roguelike, and people would lap that shit up.
>>747551267Find this videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjQ3rNX78DA&t
>>747550837Kino
>>747548470Yo-kai Specs can still be read.
>>747547751Yo-kai Watch doesn't copy Pokemon at all excluding "catching" (befriending) and raising monsters. That's it. There's no goal of "catching" every Yo-kai or being the best person with Yo-kai friends or anything like that.
>>747547681I agree. It's all about the implementation of the tool not the tool itself. I am looking forward to Decapolice and Snack World(i miss MMO style gameplay)
>>747554273There's also the fact that Yo-kai aren't animals in an ecosystem. They're dead people. The fact that they talk and are treated more like individual characters rather than a species is another huge difference
>>747533014NO DISC NO BUY
>>747547681>this other jap uses ai art so that makes it okayI don't care who uses it, it makes everything look and play like shit. no point in wasting time or money on a game when the devs themselves half-ass it.
>>747554430And the times they are treated as a species, like Gnomey, is because of actual Japanese folklore and not localization shit.
>>747554491Have you actually played a game that uses AI to know it plays like shit? I'm genuinely asking because I don't buy many new games anymore
>>747554491How would you know they are half assing it? I mean do you live in Level 5 HQ?
>Jeet-AI Watch pass on this one broseph
>>747533014>Even ZUN uses AI artBy the way, the new EoSD remake was made by Curee from AQUASTYLE; they didn't use AI, but it is tracedIt's one thing for its creator to advocate for AI while facing criticism and then decide not to do it again, and it's another for AI to be used extensively in gamesYou can see very clearly in the trailers for the new Layton remake that the videos were upscaled using AI and turned out pretty bad—it wouldn’t have cost them much to hire people to redraw the cutsceneshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi2qQG_xZb8
