Yo-kai Watch Tests American Shores With This Week’s Nintendo Download

Yo-Kai Watch, Toki Tori 3D, and Rodea: The Sky Soldier all release for 3DS this week.

Yo-Kai Watch finally gets to prove itself: will it find the same popularity with a global audience, or will it succumb to differing interests?  You can get a taste of it for yourself with the free demo, or jump on the boat as it comes into shore tomorrow, November 6th.  I enjoyed my hands-on time with the demo, and will definitely be picking up the charming title soon.

Also releasing, come November 10th, is Rodea: The Sky Soldier, from Sonic and Nights creator Yuji Naka, available for Wii U and 3DS.  If you pick up a Wii U physical copy, you’ll also get a Wii copy as well.  While I haven’t had a chance to play it yet for myself, I’m interested to see how it controls across the different versions.

Beyond that, Toki Tori releases for 3DS, and there’s the usual round of sales.

In addition to video games available at retail stores, Nintendo also offers a variety of content that people can download directly to their systems. Nintendo adds new games weekly to the Nintendo eShop on the Wii U console and the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, the Nintendo DSi™ Shop for the Nintendo DSi system and the Wii™ Shop Channel for the Wii console.

The Nintendo eShop is a cash-based service that features a wide variety of content, including new and classic games, applications and demos. Users can add money to their account balances by using a credit card or purchasing a Nintendo eShop Card at a retail store and entering the code from the card. All funds from one card must be loaded in the Nintendo eShop on either Wii U or the Nintendo 3DS family of systems, but can be used in either Nintendo eShop if the systems are linked to a single Nintendo Network account.

The Wii Shop Channel offers games and applications and uses Wii Points™, which can be purchased via the Wii Shop Channel. The Nintendo DSi Shop offers games and applications and uses Nintendo DSi Points™, which can be purchased in the Nintendo DSi Shop.

Remember that Wii U, Wii, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS and Nintendo DSi feature parental controls that let adults manage some of the content their children can access.
