It’s been one year since I bought (and finished) Yo-kai Watch 2 on the 3DS before my 3DS begin to crack open due to the hinges after frequent openings/closings and eventually broke apart. If you have either Bony Spirits or Fleshy Souls, you’ll need this. Even though, I have yet to befriend some exclusive Yo-kai on the 3DS using the YouTube videos made by AbdallahSmash026.

I bought the game through Amazon on a Black Friday as there’s a series of fights and arrests. This is what we learned in YW Wibble Wobble — as Inaho Misora (Yuuki Aoi/Erika Harlacher-Stone) now has a localized name — Hailey Anne Thomas (pictured below).

Inaho Misora (Hailey Anne Thomas).

For this game, you can travel to new places that are exclusive to the Psychic Specters video game, including the Shinkansen-style Yo-kai train. You can still play Nathan “Nate” Adams (in the case of the original Japanese, Keita Amano) or Katie Forester (in the case of the original Japanese, Fumika “Fumi-chan” Kodama) in the game, similar to the first game you can select either the two, however you cannot change clothes (with some exceptions such as in the pajamas while sleeping, or in the swimsuit while in the hot springs (onsen), but removing their footwear is required as part of the etiquette in Japan when entering the genkan) as opposed to the Pokémon games (starting with XY). The Inaho Misora character is only available in Yo-kai Watch 3 Sushi/Tempura (Japan only).

Don’t f*** with Akihiro Hino, he’ll f*** you right back.

That’s the end of the article.

Update 2022/07/18: This game, along with the third game is now very rare and sold at high prices, and it will be impossible to get this game in its digital format due to the 3DS eShop shutting down.
