    A fantastic game. Tons of exploration, hundreds of hours of content, and tons of charming monsters to catch. Great game for all ages. Also, this game actually has a story, unlike the first.

    2nd Best Game Ever! This is a Sequel where you don't need to play the 1st game to understand it! Only outclassed by its definitive version and its sequel.

    Easily one of the best RPGs on the system. Amazing graphics, so many Yo-Kai, lots of side quests, and online battling! A truly amazing game. You don't need to play the first one to get this one, but be warned, once you play this one, you can't go back.

    Un gran juego de 3ds, pero no lo recomendaría debido a que su versión Mentespectros es sencillamente mejor

    You can tell that Level 5's speciality is RPGs, because this game, despite being based on semi-automatic turn-based combat, is genuinely fun.
    The aforementioned combat system has very good and very distinct mechanics, being that, if you don't make the right decisions during a fight, the whole combat can turn against you (obviously lmao). The story is great, so much so that in my opinion    You can tell that Level 5's speciality is RPGs, because this game, despite being based on semi-automatic turn-based combat, is genuinely fun.

The story is great, so much so that in my opinion it is the best of the original trilogy and the fact that much of the map is recycled from the previous game does not detract from the fact that it is entertaining and interesting to explore it again, as it brings small changes and new yo-kai that only appear in specific places that can only be reached through a prolonged period of exploration.
    Without a doubt, this is the best example of how to make a JRPG.

    While the game doesn’t have the generation spanning appeal of the great Nintendo canon, what we have here is a very competent entry level role playing game for younger players. More mature players will find little to be impressed by with Yo-Kai Watch 2’s plentiful but basic offerings.

    Yo-kai Watch 2 improves everything done in the past, but at the same time overlooks some elements that fans wanted to be fixed. There are some new game modes, online multiplayer, new Yo-kais and a bunch of different activities, but overall the game still remains too easy for seasoned players.

    It hasn't changed much compared to the first one, but it has evolved. Although it can be a little bit confusing at times, it is overall a very engaging adventure.
