Level-5 released the first trailer of its upcoming JRPG Yo-Kai Academy Y: Wai Wai School Life, a spin-off of the Yo-Kai Watch series.
The trailer focuses on the school that serves as a setting for the game, including some of its characters and specific locations.
You’ll probably notice that this is a very different game compared to the usual Yo-Kai Watch title.
Instead of being loosely similar to Pokemon, this game involves protagonists that basically fuse with Yo-kai to become pretty much like superheroes. They don’t even keep it a secret, as popularity in the school is a relevant factor in gameplay.
Funnily, the video is pretty much a reproduction of infomercials that often try to convince parents to pick a certain school for their kids in Japan.
You can check it out below.
Yo-Kai Academy Y: Wai Wai School Life is coming to Japan this summer for PS4 and Nintendo Switch.
If you’d like to see more, you can enjoy the first screenshots and the original announcement, on top of another batch from a few weeks ago.
At the moment, Level-5 has made no announcement about a possible western release. We’ll have to wait and see if we hear something about it down the line.
