This Week In Imports: Yo-kai Academy Y Begins Its Lesson

This week marks the release of Yo-kai Academy Y, the latest game in the overall Yo-kai Watch franchise, and a spinoff game based on the ongoing anime, which is in itself a spinoff under the new Yo-kai Watch Jam label. The game will have you take the helm as one of several students who study at the eponymous Yo-kai Academy, who can transform into Yo-kai Heroes based on spirits in the mainline games. While the game is primarily a beat ’em up with flashy special moves, there’s also a huge focus on letting players experience a student’s life at the academy, including by taking classes, ing clubs, and even surprising events liked being asked out by one of the other students.

Yo-kai Academy Y is a funny case, because the game will be releasing mainly digital at first. The game is also subject to add a whole lot of features post-launch, here.

The following are this week’s Japanese imports.
