[Update: Released] The popular Disney XD TV series YO-KAI Watch is getting its own mobile game later this month

While you may be reading this and thinking you’re a bit too old to be watching the Disney XD TV channel, there’s apparently quite a few very popular shows on there, one of which is called YO-KAI Watch. Well now this popular TV series is getting its own mobile game that will be launching later this month.

Update: March 28th, 2016 1:22pm PST: For those of you waiting for this game to launch, this is just a quick heads-up to let you know that YO-KAI Watch Wibble Wobble is now available for download off of Google Play. You can grab a copy of it off through the new link at the bottom of this article.

Officially titled YO-KAI Watch Wibble Wobble, players will be trying to match up and connect the same type of Wib Wob in order to form larger Wib Wobs. You’ll be trying to do this as fast as possible as well. The storyline, however, is based off of the TV series and features other characters from the show. For those of you not familiar with this show, Yo-Kai are invisible beings that run around causing your everyday annoyances. Have you ever felt the sudden need to run to the restroom? Do your socks go missing in the dryer? How about the uncontrollable urge to reveal secrets? All the fault of the Yo-Kai beings.

As the story goes, in case you’re in the mood for a little background history:

One day while searching for bugs in the woods, an average boy named Nate comes across a peculiar capsule machine. He opens one of the capsules and brings forth Whisper, the Yo-kai butler who gives Nate a device known as the Yo-kai Watch. Using this device, only Nate is able to identify and see various Yo-kai that are hanging around town causing mischief. Joined by Jibanyan, a lazy but cute cat Yo-kai, Nate and Whisper start befriending all sorts of Yo-kai. Each time Nate befriends a Yo-kai, he receives a Yo-kai Medal as a sign of friendship. Using the medals, Nate can summon his Yo-kai friends to help him solve problems around his town of Springdale.

As players create bigger Wib Wobs, you’ll be able to unleash them to deal damage to whatever particular enemy you’re dealing with at the time. The bigger the Wib Wob, the more damage it deals. So you will want to balance popping smaller Wib Wobs for constant damage while trying to grow other Wib Wobs in size for using bigger attacks when you need them.

For those of you interested in checking this game out, YO-KAI Watch will be launching onto mobile devices this March 24th, 2016. For some reason the developers mention that when the game launches on that date, it’ll be available in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. This implies that this won’t be a global launch, at least not right away. We’ve contacted the developers to get confirmation on this, and to find out when other regions will get this game if that is indeed true.
