Reason for the Grand Award / Award for Excellence

The work is full of new funs through three works in the series including communication competition between "Ganso/Honke" and "Shinuchi" and appearance of special dungeons and rare Yo-Kai through data linkage.
The prize has been given to the work, which is enthusiastically supported by many kids and adults,
saying the local play, battles via the Net, and exchanging Yo-Kai are the "utmost fun and addictive,"
and which involves various media, and whose series created a big boom like the previous work
"Yo-Kai Watch."

Work Introdution


<YO-KAI WATCH 2 Ganso/Honke>
"All of towns, battles, and Yo-Kai increase the power!"
In this work, the town where the hero lives, popular and new Yo-Kai appears. Everything increases its power from the previous work.
Let's use "Yo-Kai Watch" to fully play wider adventures.

* Play factors are increased and the joy of search is doubled
Players can enjoy more plays: in the town, wall climbing and
bicycle race...
They can proceed the story as if they adventured a real town.

* More fun in playing with everyone
Not only a local play with neighboring friends but also battles and exchanges with remote friends via the Internet are available.
In addition, a new mode action game "Yo-Kai Watch Busters,"
where each person turns into Yo-Kai and fight with a demon.
Let's use a feature of each Yo-Kai to battle against a giant demon.



<YO-KAI WATCH 2 Shinuchi>
" 'Shinuchi,' a third edition of Yo-Kai Watch 2 following 'Ganso/Honke!' "
This work, which new items such as limited edition of Yo-Kai, quests, and bosses are added to, is released as the third edition of "Yo-Kai Watch 2."
Players can enjoy episodes of Dark Nyan and other characters associated with "The Yo-Kai Watch Movie: The Secret of The Birth."

* Enjoy this work with "Ganso/Honke"
In addition, this work is full of fun factors a player can enjoy with everyone.
Not only communication competitions and Yo-Kai exchange between "Ganso/Honke" and "Shinuchi" but also a chance to make a companion of a strong black demon in a linkage among three versions.
This work enables almost all data to be inherited from "Ganso/Honke" to "Shinuchi."

* Demon evolution of "Yo-Kai Watch Busters"
In addition, power increasing of "Yo-Kai Watch Busters"
featuring multiplayer action for up to four players.
New bosses other than demons such as Hinoshin and Dondoro.
Let's challenge stronger bosses.

Comment of the game producer

<YO-KAI WATCH 2 Ganso/Honke>
It's great to be awarded such a great prize. Thank you very much!

This work is released during "Yo-Kai Watch" boom.
Therefore, we faced strong pressures, but at the same time,
we excitedly expected many children to play this work.

We include more new factors and plays than the first work so that children can freely play in the playfield, "Yo-Kai Watch." This work is a target completed form of "Yo-Kai Watch."
It is a great pleasure to have many users evaluate this work.

We will continue to pursue various challenges in "Yo-Kai Watch" series.
Please do look forward to the future development.

<YO-KAI WATCH 2 Shinuchi>
All staffs are pleased to hear "Shinuchi" is also awarded!

We had many voices that not only children but also the whole family enjoyed the game after the start of sales of "Ganso/Honke."
We added various new factors and communication functions to facilitate the communication among the family.
The linkage of the movie simultaneously released gave the opportunity of conversations and
made players enjoy together.

Like "Ganso/Honke." this work yielded results better than expected.
Thank you indeed for the kind support of "Yo-Kai Watch."
