So unless some cancer eceleb starts streaming Yokai Watch, no child will ever even know this game exists.

This is the truth.

I've tutored these retarded fagets for the past few years. Every time I step into the library it's just dumbshits playing minecraft and watching youtube let's plays. They do the same thing at home.

No it isn't.
Nintendo is entirely to blame for not advertising it.

Not to mention the game is based around a piece of Japanese culture. Not something that's easy to sell to American kids.

Why would I play this game already? I've seen Nintendo shilling it a lot. But despite that I barely know anything about what this game feels like and the monsters look like shit. It looks like the poor man's version of Pokémon, except it looks like it was made even more for children. I mean, look at that ghost in OP's pic! Look at that fucking cat!

1) That only applies to NOA, W101 flopped worldwide (actually did better in america, more than the regular USA:JAP ratio)
2) Nintendo Direct
3) Was like the 3rd most talked about WiiU game in 2013.

VGChartz has been pretty accurate from my experience.

Do people think they'll come out next week and say: "it sold poorly... oops, never mind those YW numbers, it sold 2,000,000 copies in the U.S. alone and is the fastest-selling 3DS game in that country of all time."

Yeah, sure.

Yokai Watch was actually a massive success in Japan. That's why people were screaming "Pokemon killer!" all day, because they thought that success would follow into the west.
Its Japanese success will likely motivate the Pokemon guys to put more effort into their next games.

This is irrelevant, considering MyNintendo is going to be a thing.

All Nintendo needs to do is put it on there, and presto. People will suddenly start talking about the games.

Yes, Let's Play culture is on the decline, and yes, kids will eventually move on to something more interesting.

Retarded logic.

The game is based off of super obscure japanese myths no one knows about

It was doomed day 1. Anyone could make a legit competitor. In fact it'd be a great market to do as a PC game since you could market so much shit. Skins, colors, cosmetics, xp boosts, through in shit like player housing and boom you have a bunch of other shit to sell.

Yokai Watch was clearly going to fail anyway, purely because of the fact it's based around yokai and not either made up shit or basically-real things.

If you aren't a weeaboo with some experience with Japanese culture, you aren't going to know even something as simple as what a Kappa is or get the jokes or understand what you should 'feed' it and blame the game for 'not explaining well enough' because of your own ignorance.

It's a game that is created with the player knowing the culture of their own country, so it doesn't work well in other countries because most people don't know any of that stuff.

I mean, it's not even about the game's quality. That itself is a completely different argument. I hated the demo but apparently the demo is a poor representation of the game as a whole so I guess I don't really know much about it. But even if it were a 10/10 game it was going to fail miserably. It's just too fucking Japanese. You can translate it into english and try to replace the jokes but at the end of the day you can't take the jap out of a game that's ass-deep in jap mythology and state of mind. The cultural barrier was an immense hurdle from day one. I have no clue what they thought would happen.

It's almost surprising how much better the environments look in YW than ORAS especially during battle where shit can be going on in the background and there's six different yokai fighting with virtually no framerate issues except when using some soultimate attacks even with the 3D on. GF really needed to tone down those Pokemon models for the 3DS.

some yokai evolve in the traditional sense of levels, others evolve with an item important to them, others fuse together to make certain new yokai

Jibanyan (the cat yokai) and Roughraff (the pompadour lizard) can combine into Baddinyan for example.

That example of Multimutt is fused from 2 Manjimutts.

What was the ad campaign like for Yokai Watch?

Back in the late 90's when Pokemon came out, I mysteriously released a VHS tape in the mail explaining what pokemon is and that shit hyped me for pokemon. I got the VHS like two months before the anime dub aired on TV and I was hooked. I had bought a Gameboy Pocket just for Pokemon Blue and I watched the anime religiously.

I don't think they even tried with Yokai Watch.

The only thing comparable to Pokemon is the collecting aspect everything else is different. Yokai Watch actually has charm, detail and quality where Pokemon just feels dated and stiff in comparison.

oh man, that VHS tape

pokemon 90's marketing was fucking fantastic in retrospect and they handled the dub pretty well

they pushed the brand as like one singular blob of multimedia rather than open up its international appearance with just the GB game. it was a glitchy, dated fuckjob on a fatigued 9-year old console so they were probably apprehensive of doing just the game first

Of course it flopped, holy fucking shit. You'd have to be a braindead child to have not seen it coming. Not a god damn single one of these monsters are worth collecting.

based on the number of unique IDs here than in regular YW threads, people would rather shit on a series they never tried/played than actually talk about the game or even study it, which kinda sucks.

It seriously makes no sense to me. It's true that every single new generation is the worst to the previous, but the LP trend defies all logic I can think of. Games are meant to be fucking played. All different mediums of entertainment are done in a specific manner. You watch movies, you read books, you listen to music, you play games. But all of today's kids would rather watch a game than play it. It boggles my mind.

They aren't watching for the game. They're watching Let's Plays for the LPer. They think PewDiePie or whoever else is funny, and the game is more of a backdrop for the "comedy." Think of it less as "people are watching other people play video games" and more like "people are listening to another person make jokes while they play video games."
