Ce jeux est super sur toute la durée sauf peut être a la fin du 100% ou sa devient un peu répétitifs, le jeux est accrochant avec ses personnages variés et touchants. l'histoire est superbe et quand tu fini l'histoire tu as une sorte de DLC après l'histoire et le gameplay est très amusants. Ce jeux est superbe testé le un jour .

Still to this day my favorite turn-by-turn RPG of all time. Yo-Kai Watch 2 is one of the best games of the 3ds and one that people don't want to try out enough because of the state and reputation of the franchise. But personally? I think all that criticism has no right to exist. Most of them are calling the game a Pokemon rip-off when the game is so much more than just a rip-off, in fact, it's not a rip-off at all!
Definitely one of the best games the 3ds has to offer and an incredible monster catching game that shaped my childhood.

Yo-kai Watch 2 is one of the best games for the Nintendo 3DS. I think it's necessary to play the first instalment. In this new narrative, we will discover the origins of the Yo-kai Watch and learn about the differences between Yo-kai Spirits and Polpanime (the game versions, respectively). The story is really interesting. The gameplay, although based on the same foundations as the first instalment, has undergone some changes that make the gaming experience fresher. There are lots of things to do in the post-game. Some flaws remain, and this can be annoying if you play it right after the first Yo-kai Watch. If you are a fan of the 3DS, you absolutely must get your hands on this gem. As for Psychospectres, everything gets even better. There are many new yo-kai and lots of side missions on par with the main ones. It adds pieces of the story and is the definitive experience.

Este juego una joya de la Nintendo3DS teniendouna historia divertida y cautivadora, con personajes carismáticos y que se siguen desarrollando en el postgame también. En cuanto a contenido no hay de que preocuparse pues tiene millones de misiones únicas y más que el clásico "dale este objeto a tal personaje",además el sistema de combate es súper divertido y adictivo a través de todos los minijuegos de la pantalla inferior. Sin duda es un juego que debes probar al menos una vez en la vida.

This is the best of the series, not open to debate. It's not just an improvement on 2, it's almost a new game in its own right. Please play this game if you can.

Yo-kai watch 2 psychic specters took the foundation from yo-kai watch 1 and improved upon it in every way. The combat gets an extra layer of depth with the added model zero features, the yo kai roster has been expanded with new evolutions and fusions for yo-kai from the previous game and plenty of completely new yo-kai. The addition of classic yo-kai is such a fun and obvious addition and they absolutely cooked with their designs. adding a new evil tribe also makes for a great generic enemy force that the antagonists can use instead of just placing seemingly random normal yo-kai in a bunch of random forced fights or just coloring them grey like in yo-kai watch 1. The psychic specters additions add great new postgame quests and yo-kai that make this game feel like a complete version of the YKW formula.

Vraiment un jeu sous coté je pense. Le monde ouvert est super grand et complet, les combats ne sont pas répétitifs et débloquer un nouveau yokai sera très **** histoire intéressante et des quêtes super intéressantes.

Mein liebstes unter den in Deutschland verfügbaren 3 Yokai Watch Spielen. Auch wenn Yokai Watch 1 denperfekten Grundstein gelegt hat und Yokai Watch 3 wohl am meisten Content hat, ist Yokai Watch 2 das am besten ausbalancierte. Es hat zudem noch die beste und interessanteste Storyline der 3 Spiele und ist generell auch am schönsten.
Manche Teile der Story sind aber extra **** oder allgemein slowpaced, besonders, wenn es um Schlüsselaufgaben geht, die man aus dem Nichts lösen muss, aber das mindert die Qualität dieses Spiels nicht.
Nur schade, dass wir wohl nie wieder ein neues Yokai Watch Spiel bekommen werden.

It's still just as fun as the first game, but it feels like it didn't expand enough on what made it as good, so as a sequel it feels underwhelming. Leaning into the goofier aspects of the first game and its comedy makes the story (which is a major focus now) feel way less dire than it actually is. The new stuff they introduce, such as expansions to the overall gameplay of the first game, are great, but some extra inclusions such as trading don't really work. The Blasters side mode in particular kind of **** and is pretty much just a demo for Yo-kai Watch Blasters. The game is also much easier. The bosses go down in about 2 minutes now and it feels a lot less challenging, if more fun overall. The game's ending is really bad though, with two awful and ridiculously difficult bosses in a row where grinding to make the two fights easier is incredibly boring due to story circumstances. It might be the worst difficulty spike in any game I've ever played, and the whole playthrough is basically preparing for that singular boss. It bogs the game down, to say the least. Again, still fun, but feels like it's missing things to make it a true successor to the first game.

Where do I began. This is probably my favorite game of all time. Everything was perfect. And after you were done with it, there would be much more you can do after words. Some of the side quest had there own little story, or it felt like a whole dlc to the game. But I wish you didn’t have to have all 3 yo ki watch 2 games. But I loved it so much that I went out my way to have all 3 to have every bit of post game content as possible. Thank you to Kai watch for making my childhood, and I wish for this series to come back on day

Not better than YKW3, but still very fun. Loads of content, main story is wacky fun, post game offers hours of play, and every single yokai feels very alive and with their own personalities.

This game is amazing. Yo kai watch 2 bony spirits and fleshy souls was already fantastic with their story and post-game. But psychic specters is the definitive monster collector game. It's post game is endless with lots of new bosses, quests and places to explore. There are also 10 new yo-kais to collect including the onis and the S rank version of jibanyan, komasan and komajiro. This game is fantastic

Probablemente el peak de la franquicia, se encuentra muy barato, y es muy entretenido de principio a fin. Otra joya de 3ds

I have fond memories of this game. The combat system is well crafted and i like the Japanese cultural touch. There are also a lot of little quests to do, which felt like they had a lot of personal meaning, because the characters and the world have grown to me.

A truly great game, hidden behind a mediocre, frustrating first ~10 hours. Many of the criticisms of this game seem to come from the story, which most people quit after playing. The mediocre story is not even a tenth of what this game has to offer. Great quests, unique combat, challenging bosses, hundreds of (mostly) well-designed yo-kai to collect, and a lovely world & characters all make this game a great experience. Especially for a handheld experience. My biggest critique would be the previously mentioned not-so-great story, and the poorly-designed befriending system which relies too heavily on RNG. Unfortunately, a streak of bad luck can sour the experience of this game if you plan on trying to collect a large amount of the game's creatures. I am personally not bothered by a bit of RNG from time to time, especially because the game gives you many chances to increase your odds, and it feels very rewarding when you do finally get lucky. These flaws definitely make the game more niche, and many people probably will be turned away by them. But for people like myself who aren't too bothered by it, it isn't too much of an issue. I would give the game an 8.5/10 if I could, but metacritic does not allow for that so I have rounded up. I would definitely recommend this game, especially if a unique, charming handheld RPG sounds appealing to you.

Si el uno ya era bueno, este es increíblemente mejor. La historia mejorada, la dificultad del post-game es demencial, un montón de minijuegos como las carreras de bicis...

By far the best RPG on the system. It has over 400 Yo-Kai to collect, a huge world to explore, and it's so full of personality! After you beat the game, there are still so many things to do, such as side quests and exclusive post-game stuff, such as a quest where you get to explore Whisper's past and actually play as him. In addition, there are m a n y exclusive Yo-Kai to this version, such as Darkyubi, Illuminoct, and Komajiro S. This is one of, if not the best game on the 3DS, and one of the best RPGs ever made.

if you want to get into yokai watch, skip directly to the second game and play it undubbed if you can as the us names and voices are terrible. unfortunately it suffers from a cringeworthy "how do you do fellow kids" "eat your hamburguer apollo" localization, but it's still a really fun and amazing game. this is the next evolution of games like pokemon and such, while pokemon keeps de-evolving, this game just keeps getting better ( the current one as the time of writing this, yw4, is just a joy to play ) you know that feel when you played pokemon for the first time without knowing anything? discovering the creatures, the world, the soundtrack.. this game will make you feel that again. just don't go in thinking it's a pokemon clone or whatever, be open minded and don't expect anything. as to why i say to skip the first game, it's because it's more of an experiment, it's short and feels kind of unsatisfying when it's over, a lot of is repeated in yw2 anyway. but by all means, go and experience it when you're done with yw2.

Es mi juego favorito de todos junto con super paper mario y zelda breath of the wild y aunque eso es un logro (ya que he jugado muchos juegos) pero aun así algunas cosas no me gustan mucho como la pesadilla subita, la cual me gusta más la del primero pero eso no es nada comparado a mi experiencia con este juego

Uma grande evolução do primeiro jogo. Novos personagens incríveis, uma história muito melhor que a anterior e novas mecânicas ótimas. Mesmo depois de terminar o jogo, ainda tem uma quantidade absurda de coisas pra fazer que deixam tudo ainda mais legal. Vale cada centavo.

Awesome game. My favorite game on the 3DS. I have put over 300 hours in the game and caught almost all yokai. I like the mechanics more than Pokemon and am scared of what they are changing with Yokai watch 4 on the switch. It was a blast destroying kids in online battles with my perfectly crafted team, I cant remember my rank "Teacher or Professor". Anyways. I loved grinding out secret items and putting together a well thought out team for online battles. I think I only had 1 S rank yokai and still would destroy people using demon types. Anyways best game on the system.

Truly one of the greatest games on the 3ds. It takes everything from the previous two versions of Yo-kai Watch 2, expands upon them. Truly the best version of Yo-kai Watch currently in English. It was a refreshing and exciting experience. It really says something when I have already played the previous versions twice and I was still willing to play it through again. I sincerely hope this series gets more recognition in the west.

All the greatness of Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls with the best version exclusive Yo-Kai to offer out of all 3, extra bosses that make Boss Rush mode even more difficult than it already was and a heartfelt conclusion to the story. This title also has exploits that make the grinding experience far more pleasant than the other 2. Only real flaws are the obnoxious befriending but it doesn't keep the game unplayable or take away the challenging, fast-paced battling.

The original Yo-Kai Watch 2 versions (Fleshy Souls and Bony Spirits) were already huge improvements over the first game. Psychic Specters is the Pokemon Platinum/Crystal/Emerald of Yo-Kai Watch 2. Very similar story (there are one of two very minor differences) but where it truly shines over the original 2 versions is the post-game. The post-game has a lot added in Psychic Specters. If collecting Yo-Kai is your thing, there are also over 10 new collectible Yo-Kai compared to the original versions. If you don't want to start over, you also get the option of transferring your file from Fleshy Souls/Bony Spirits to Psychic specters and jump straight trough post-game. This game is a must have for Monster Collector games.
