Kids Gift Guide
The Yo-Kai Watch has been one of this year’s hottest console games. It’s already been a sensation in Japan, where it was created, and has been as big as Pokemon there. The game features hundreds of cute, mischievous spirits called Yo-Kai who inhabit our world and cause annoying and sometimes comical things to occur - for example in Japanese culture there’s a Yo-Kai spirit who always makes you misplace your car keys.
Kids can discover more than 200 Yo-Kai using a special Yo-Kai Watch. The challenge is to befriend them and form teams to battle other Yo-Kai.
Available for $39.99 nationwide from all leading retailers.
