New Yo-Kai Watch puzzle game hits March 24 for iOS and Android

Yo-Kai is too big for the Nintendo 3DS to handle on its own, so the next game in the franchise is headed to mobile.

Level-5 revealed today that Yo-Kai Watch: Wibble Wobble launches on iOS and Android on March 24. This is a new puzzle game where players must tap on jellified “Wib Wob” versions of the characters from the 3DS original to make them perform attacks in battles. This takes the monster-collecting, Pokémon-like action of the core Yo-Kai Watch and makes it play more like the mega-lucrative Puzzle & Dragons, which makes around $1 billion annually primarily from players in Japan. Level-5, working with developer NHN PlayArt, is moving this franchise into the $34.8 billion mobile gaming market to cpature younger players that are moving from Nintendo portables to Google and Apple smartphones.
