The Yo-Kai Watch cash cow seems to be drying up

Personally speaking, the show is still exceedingly popular here in my house. My son loves it, and every episode I catch is charming and creative, albeit a bit on the whacky side. The games, though? I don’t see too many people talking about those.

More like Yo-Kai Saw, right?

Yo-Kai Watch was never going to be as popular here as it was in Japan. Culturally, Japanese consumers had more of a touchstone with the franchise thanks to it being steeped in Japanese lore, though with a silly take.

Abroad? Yo-Kai Watch has been a really neat curiosity instead of a sensation. I hope it doesn’t fizzle out completely, but I totally get why it’s slowing down.
