Yo-kai Watch is an anime adaptation of a role-playing video game series developed by Nintendo and published by Level-5, which was first released for the Nintendo 3DS platform in Japan on July 2013 and North America last November. Aside from anime, the franchise also has several manga adaptations and even theatrical films.
It is being considered in Japan to be the biggest game franchise in Japan since the Pokémon game and media franchise.
