Yo-Kai Watch movie comes to U.S. theaters … for just one day

Yo-Kai is going Hollywood, but only for a day.

Yo-Kai Watch: The Movie will play at theaters around the United States on Saturday, October 15 as part of a special engagement through movie-event company Fathom. This comes after Yo-Kai Watch 2, the role-playing game about capturing the spirit-like Yo-Kai creatures, hit 3DS September 30. The franchise, which was a massive hit when it debuted in Japan in 2013, is now giving servicing North American players with an all-out multimedia assault that includes the film, the anime, and mobile games in addition to the handheld releases. And developer Level-5 is planning to promote the new 3DS game and the film with a special event in its Yo-Kai Watch: Wibble Wobble app for iOS and Android.
