I love how it is easy to find people online to play with even though the game did not sell that well. To bad 3ds online will probable shut down in a few years since the Eshop is closing.
@@Dipped1234 I dont know there might be some people on blasters T in yokai watch 3 but for online battles in the game when the game was new I never did any so im in e rank so I can barely find anybody now. That or there jjust isnt any people. As for the other games I dont know
Yo-Kai Watch Blasters is everything you could want in a spin-off. Fun gameplay, a simple but fun story and good characters, and a soundtrack that is heavily underrated. (Dog of the North Star being an absolute banger.) I remember when they first announced these games getting localized. I was so excited I preordered a physical copy of Red Cat Corps as soon as I could. It’s a shame that the physical copies are so expensive now. Definitely worth picking up before the e-shop closes in a couple of months.
This is making me realize how many games there are in the Yo-Kai Watch franchise. Counting the unlocalized games (and 1 remastered) there are 9 games and that's not even including the separate versions
Another fantastic video covering this under appreciated franchise in detail. The script on this one was really good, and your points flowed seamlessly into one another. Can't wait to see you continue to tackle these games with the respect they deserve, keep up the great work, and have a nice day.
14:18 I know exactly what this was. Connecting with the iron oni arcade game allowed the player to get some really powerful equipment to help deal with the new bosses in moon rabbit crew. An acquaintance of mine actually helped get that stuff added into the western version during the time when he was in contact with the localization team. The final YWBlasters update added the equipment as purchasable from Dimmy's Shop (once you complete the post game).
Oh damn, I remember players complaining back in the day bc it was impossible to 100% the western release as well... no connectivity with the arcade which would give you the final items to make the ultimate weapons. Think smth happened with transfered saves for YKW2, something about the music being un-100%-able
My favourite thing is seeing how Yokai interact with each other, I loved it Especially when they made all the Legendary interact and gave a bit of lore to them, god I can't be the only one who always wanted to see them interact
@@Chrominize Gotcha, I saw a few people in the nintendo direct live chat asking for ykw4 localized so hopefully level-5 starts noticing people really want it.
If anyone reading this wants a great Yo-Kai and set up to solo the game (including hard bosses, ive managed to solo (+dead AI) base difficulty Shogun King): Standard Usapyon Damona Soul (Pink coin Crank A Kai exclusive) Invader Chip (QR Code) Y button:Dodge X button: either Charge Beam or Frost (Frost is basically superior if dealing with Wobblewok, while Charge Beam is good for swarm fights, or bosses like Ultra Robonyan 28 when he spawns in 2 more robonyan) Invader Chip DPS and stats+Damona Soul HP restoration, being able to dodge and use getaway plushes to barelt sinch some wins. Only downside is that some later bosses (like Ultra Kat Kradel and normal Shogun King) take a lot of time (easily able to be 10+ minutes, and require focus). Although Kat Kradel is mainly a pattern memory fight.
I just got my friend into Yokai, and this was his first game(bc he didn’t have enough $ to buy mainline games) and I need help bc we are trying to 100% it, but we both need 3 other wds and rcc for Rubeus j and hardy hound, and others (like Gargaros and Ogralos)
I honestly adore the first blaster game. (Never played the others unfortunately) the story is interesting, the visuals and designs are charming, the music slaps, and the gameplay is reminiscent of one of my favorite games, Monster Hunter! Definitely one of my favorite ykw games.
I never played this game unfortunately, I skipped it and stuck with psychic specters but it looks awesome. Maybe I’ll try it out after I finish my yo Kai watch 3 play through
The arcade game, iron oni force, that you’d link up too would give extra moonstones, king moon baubles, and king moon gauntlets to the player. You can only get 8 moonstones per save by doing true challenges. The problem is that without iron oni force it is impossible to 100% any international version of the game. This is because the game doesn’t give you enough of these materials to make 1 of every equipment item.
Ohhh okay that suddenly makes a lot of sense, they should've patched in some other way to buy those items in the international versions because as it is that's pretty frustrating lol
@@Chrominize they did, for the international versions they released a patch where they made it so you could buy Moonstones from the Dimmy Shop, (at a scandalous price)
@@trovulnyan3370 You can also buy Ultra King Gauntlets and Baubles, and King Moon Gauntlets and Baubles, + the entire material set from regular to Ultra for your version’s Golden boss (Red Cat gets all the Golden Claws materials, White Dog gets all the Swirlious Gold materials)
As a Yo-kai Watch fan for the last 8 years I just wanted to let you know I've enjoyed your retrospective series. I was wondering if you plan to cover Yo-kai Watch 4 or Busters in the retrospective?
Though I’m not a big blasters guy it’s cool this spinoff is really a big game on its own and can stand on its own without the main game but that’s where my issue comes from cause I like the rpg part of yokai watch and I only played blasters T because I wanted the enmas since they are kind of the best yokai in 3
I feel so bad for komajiro and Noko. Ever since Usapyon came out they basically got sidelines - and Komasan stood in for them. Fuyunyan sorta is exchanged with Komasan at times. But honestly Usapyon’s awesome.
I dont own or ever played Yo-kai Watch Blasters but i hear its one of the best games in the franchise So i was kinda thinking of getting it soon... I also heard it has sequel? idk but im defenitly getting it this christmas
@@Beefster420 oh that makes a bit more sense, I thought you were talking about Blasters sorry I'd help you with that but I don't have him on my 3DS save file either
you really have to get lucky if a gamestop happens to have one laying abandoned there, i managed to both versions of blasters and yokai watch 3 that were each around 40-60 dollars. it sounds pretty unfair that its that expensive even more that eshop is dead, Id try maybe ebay hoping for one person to give a honest price but its extremely lucky to happen to find one at a time around here or a gamestop if they have a used or unused game
Honestly Blasters probably has one of the best osts in the series and the closest to Monster Hunter I've ever played
I'd be concerned if a soundtrack that had a theme called "Dog of the North Star" wasn't peak fiction
@@Chrominize but the guitar in that song do hit different tho
@@brandonflores4988 Oh, I fully agree
I love how it is easy to find people online to play with even though the game did not sell that well. To bad 3ds online will probable shut down in a few years since the Eshop is closing.
So it's still active? That's pretty surprising
If I'm playing in the morning or night players almost never join but Midday is perfect
@@Chrominize in case no one has said it already from iron oni force you would get the moon lit items and moon stones
Does this apply to the other games too?

Yeah it's kind of crazy how many games Level 5 put out there in less than a decade lol
Thanks for giving such an informative presentation for this game. This game blew me away how polished its real time anime-esque gameplay is.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate the share too.

Everywhere I look I see your face
@@hopestar727 Thanks I get that a lot. I am all encompassing, and at the same time invisible, it all depends on if you see me or not.
The lore expands EVEN MORE.

Great retrospective. Yokai watch blasters is definitely one of the most fun yokai watch games
This game is the game of my childhood, I had over 100 hours in red car corps as a kid.
Can’t wait for the review on the third game
I'm looking forward to making it!
@@Chrominize 4 Is only in Japan, Will you wait for it to localize in 2080 or are you gonna do the Japanese one?
@@omnirudy I have given up on the localization lol, just gonna be covering the Japanese version.
@@Chrominize Gotcha, I saw a few people in the nintendo direct live chat asking for ykw4 localized so hopefully level-5 starts noticing people really want it.
yo kai watch 3 is the best game of all time
It's definitely up there!
Amazing video man! I'm really hyped for your video on ykw3!
Thanks!
@@Chrominize no problem! Keep up the good work!
thanks for mentioning our research for TCRF ;)
great videos!
Thank you!
As a person who beat this game I say it was fun experience as a level 49 I approve this video review.
In my opinion this was the best yo kai watch game even though it was just a spin off.
7:42 Note Master Zen is only used for soulcery and Nekidspeed is for evolution
If anyone reading this wants a great Yo-Kai and set up to solo the game (including hard bosses, ive managed to solo (+dead AI) base difficulty Shogun King):
Standard Usapyon
Damona Soul (Pink coin Crank A Kai exclusive)
Invader Chip (QR Code)
Y button:Dodge
X button: either Charge Beam or Frost (Frost is basically superior if dealing with Wobblewok, while Charge Beam is good for swarm fights, or bosses like Ultra Robonyan 28 when he spawns in 2 more robonyan)
Invader Chip DPS and stats+Damona Soul HP restoration, being able to dodge and use getaway plushes to barelt sinch some wins. Only downside is that some later bosses (like Ultra Kat Kradel and normal Shogun King) take a lot of time (easily able to be 10+ minutes, and require focus).

THERE ARE SO MANY OF THESE GAMES?!
There is a LOT to cover LLP.
Finally!!! The third instalment!!!

Thanks for watching! I'm planning on covering 4 and Busters 2 as I go through the games in release order.
@@Chrominize I actually know the team working on an English Fan Translation of Busters 2. They plan to show some footage in November.
@@LgameZ I heard about that fan translation, hopefully it's out by the time I cover that game.
This is so fun to watch knowing I have over 1300hours
Good video
Thanks!
3:05
Me and my brother like both songs.
He's right. "Shake!" IS the best song in the franchise.
Glad someone agrees!
@@Chrominize likewise.
Such a great game.

imagine he did a summary of 3
it would be at least either 1 or 2 or 3 hours long lol

I feel so bad for komajiro and Noko.

Loving the yo kai video
I dont own or ever played Yo-kai Watch Blasters but i hear its one of the best games in the franchise
So i was kinda thinking of getting it soon...
I also heard it has sequel?
idk but im defenitly getting it this christmas
11:13
They’re two different species.
Without the iron oni force arcade game, you can't get 100%
I strive to make content as a good as you
Thanks!
I miss the franchise so much...
Me too 😢😢😢
Nice video! I’ve been meaning to play Blaster, but haven’t been able to get it to work on Citra. How did you download it, if i may ask?
I dunno if I can just SAY where you can download ROM's for Citra but there's a few sites that are safe, Google is your friend.
@@Chrominize ah, ok. Thank you.
Nice Video!
I am curious, are you planning on covering Yo-Kai Busters/Blasters 2 and Yo-Kai Watch 4?
Neat!
Is there an official timeline for these games like does blasters happen before or after yokai watch 3
The timeline should be 1 > 2 > Blasters > 3 > Blasters 2 > 4
3 100% takes place after Blasters, the Blasters house can even be visited in 3.
Do you think nate is in school during blasters
@@thebigfat9849 probably not? It's kind of implied that 1-3 all take place in the same Summer.
It’s Japanese name was Yo-Kai Watch Busters
So are you gonna be doing Sangokushi or 3 next?
3 is gonna be the next BIG video, but I might be doing something with Sangokushi in between
lol Japanese komasan looks like he's wearing naruto's clothes
I guess I can kinda see that lmao
this game made me break my ds
The game made me eat my ds😭😭😭😭
@@rockonahill how do you manage rhat

It's in the process of being scripted, it should be out sometime before the end of the year.
Yo what do you use to record the 3ds?
I use the Citra emulator for 3DS stuff, capture cards are way too expensive nowadays.
