With having the use of both Ryujinx and the English Fan Translation mod, I was able to finally get to playing the Yo-Kai Watch game that isn't released outside of Japan, and after playing it for about a month, I actually quite enjoyed it.
Yo-Kai Watch 4 is the fourth instalment in the Yo-Kai Watch series that has now jumped to console with it being on both Switch and PS4, the story to the game has all the main Yo-Kai Watch users from the three timelines of the regular series (Present), Shadowside (Future) and Forever Friends (Past), coming together to stop a threat known as the Overseer.
And with comparing the storyline of Yo-Kai Watch 4 to the previous storylines of the first three games, man it is really dark, like there are elements in this game that were shown in it aren't even shown in the first three games at all, not going into heavy spoiler territory, but if you have played it, you'll know exactly what I mean.
There are noticeable differences for this game compared to the previous entries that I really like, like the camera prospective has gone for more of a third person view instead of the top-down camera prospective view, and the whole turned based battle system is replaced with more of a 3D Action Arena Style gameplay, which I do like quite like more, it really gives you more freedom on letting you to play as any Yo-Kai you want in a quick flash, and it's great that you can play as the human characters while in battle this time around.
Though there are some problems that I would go through out when playing throughout the game, but I wouldn't want to go deep dive into it since I don't want this review to drag on, but it is a really enjoyable fourth entry in the series as a whole that I recommend playing, either through importing the game online and watching a playthrough that has english text, or like I said in the beginning of the review by just emulating it with the English Fan Translation downloaded
But I really do wished that it did get a release outside of Japan, but hopefully the successor to Yo-Kai Watch, Ghost Craft will carry on the legacy of the series itself.
