Yo-Kai Watch 4++ is an improved version of Yo-Kai Watch 4, which was released for Nintendo Switch in Japan on June 20th. The upcoming enhanced version of the game includes features such as multiplayer, new areas to explore, and a variety of new Yo-Kai to catch.

For those unfamiliar with the original Yo-Kai Watch 4 game, here is a summary:

Yo-Kai Watch 4 is an RPG game developed for Nintendo Switch by Level-5. The game, like its three predecessors, features a boy named Nate. Nate possesses a ‘Yo-Kai Watch’ which allows him to see, befriend and summon creatures called Yo-Kai.

Yo-Kai Watch 4 takes place in three different worlds. Each world is associated with one of the game’s protagonists:

• Natsume (set 30 years after the first three games)
• Keita (contemporaneous with the first three games)
• Shin (set 30 years prior to the first three games)

Additionally, players can unlock a fourth Yo-Kai World where the Yo-Kai live.

Whilst no official release date for a western release of Yo-Kai Watch 4 has been announced, hopefully it will be soon!
