    Considering the technical problems and the other issues this game had, maybe it was a blessing in disguise it didn't come out outside of Japan. Although, it's sad to see the last game on the console the franchise began life out went out with such a whimper.

    This video was really good! I've been looking forward to it as one of the few Busters 2 fans. I was not expecting to see my name in the video. But yeah, the English translation isn't too accurate (hopefully I can convince the translation team to start from scratch). I agree with most of your points on the problems with the game (Hopefully modders will someday fix the Clue-T-Fact issue)

    Great video. It’s a shame YW Blasters 2 isn’t remembered as favorably as its predecessor or the Blasters T side mode in YW3. It’s also a shame that YWB2 also starts the trend of Yo-Kai Watch games no longer getting localized to the western market. It definitely had potential, but was held back by poor gameplay choices and overall quality.
    I haven’t played the game myself since it was never localized and I don’t own a Japanese 3DS. Maybe whenever I get around to trying out 3DS emulation, I’ll look into playing it.

    I remember when I first played YW Busters 2. Found many bugs but all around nothing that important as an experience. I'm just sad that so many cool yokais were first featured there than in a better game.
    I'd like a lot if they made another game of the classic series with the new yokais in it. Would be pretty cool. And 100% better than Blasters 2.
    I get those who like this game tho. All of the new yokais here are so cool.

    I will say, despite every problem with this game, I think the newly introduced Yo-Kai might be the best overall cast of new Yo-Kai in the series. Every single one is a hit for me. But uh… Boogiemum is the only one with a localized name and while it’s good, I wish it was Discorpse.

    I think that Busters 2's gameplay changes can be annoying at times, (especially the Clu-T-fact limit when farming for 1% C. Shogunyan) however the new "lore" additions that it brings to the series with the ancient Enma tribe Yokai and the story of Wandering Billy and Banbaraya are very interesting to me for whatever reason. I have this weird attachment to it because of the new story, but I do agree it's overall...not the best game ever.

    La verdad es que yo por mucho tiempo deteste el modo blasters T de ykw3, no me agradaba que gran parte de mejorar tu equipo fuera pasar hora y horas en el blasters T, pero cuando descargue ykwblasters2, la verdad es que hasta me sentía mal por como pensaba de blasters T, es un juego muy mal optimizado y hecho a las carreras, pudo ser mucho mejor, lo único que me gusta de este juego son sus pocas piezas de música originales
    6/10 como calificación de mi parte, no se ganó su puesto de ser el peor juego de la saga por nada

    I can't believe the series is 10 years old now! Shame you had to play Blasters 2 around the anniversary, seeing as it's the worst lol. I do have two questions though: 1) I understand you use Citra to emulate your games but I've looked into it, and don't know how to get the games I want running on it, as Citra doesn't have an online library to browse through as I expected. I'm not sure what to download, and how, to get Yo-Kai Watch titles running on it' would you ever considering making a Citra guide video? 2) will you mention YKW1 for Nintendo Switch in a future video, as it has some positive updates and shows the 3DS games CAN work on Switch; I hope it'll get a mention in your 4 video, which I'm guessing is coming next.

    • @Chrominize
      @Chrominize  Před rokem +1

      For your first question, I could make a tutorial, but it's not that tough, there's a ton of different sites you could find ROMs from, you just have to make sure they're decrypted .3ds files.
      For the second, I'm probably gonna make a video on the Switch version of 1.

Oh and (because I’m talking about LEVEL-5 games that aren’t the best) why do people hate Inazuma Eleven GO 1 so much?
