I didn't realize this game was so huge. I would have thought Pokemon pretty much had the market on lockdown.

So what kind of game is this? Is it like Pokemon, Dragon Quest, Animal Crossing, or Monster Hunter? Which is it?

Nope.
From the last M-C thread:
02./07. [3DS] Yo-kai Watch <RPG> (Level 5) {2013.07.11} (¥4.800) - 28.933 / 1.176.134 (-2%)
Yokai Watch 2 will be bigger than the first.
didnt the ds game sold way more than the ps3 game ?

I'm baffled that Nintendo didn't try to publish YW as soon as someone said, "It's like Pokemon..."
I'd be very surprised if they weren't trying - but that sort of publishing deal requires involvement from both sides. I wonder if Level 5 are asking too much, or still hedging their bets over whether they want to hold onto it to publish it themselves. This isn't quite the same sort of thing as Xenoblade, which was a game where the publishing plans were entirely within one company.
Isn't there a typhoon heading to Japan right now?
It has no fujoshi appeal unlike Inazuma Eleven (unfortunately for IE), which isn't exactly a bad thing.All of the elementary school kids over here bloody love this game.
Junior high kids don't care, but it certainly has a more focused demographic than Pokemon.

please don't tell me there is Inazuma Yaoi stuff...
is this game like Pokemon?
One of the huge reasons why IE started failing (in my eyes) was because Level 5 fully embraced the idea of catering to those people in IEGO. During the first trilogy Level 5 didn't do anything with that.Which also has it's benefits..

I like Japan's video game launches much more than ours, especially with cliche handheld titles.

Yeah I don't get why Yokai Watch hasn't hit the states. There's already a niche that will buy it simply because it was popular in Japan, not to mention the possibility that it would be huge in America like it is in Japan.
I heard France admire Japan and it's also true for the Japan -> FranceIsn't part of the problem here that the monsters and setting are heavily based on Japanese culture and legends? It seems like something that could have problems repeating the same success internationally.

I'm just glad Japanese kids are playing a 3DS game and not a mobile one
