The cartoon is a great way to relax, Level-5 has pivoted into several different directions with it, the toys are cute, and the mainline games deliver an old school RPG charm. For two years now we’ve been waiting on news ofYo-Kai Watch 3‘s localization: if it was going to happen at all, and as of today, we have a firm release date from Nintendo....

Just a year ago the battle cry from the community was that there were “too manyWarcraftassassins,” and now, folks are pushing back a bit when it comes to the injection of moreOverwatchheroes.

Completely free transmogrification (also known as transmog, where you can change your appearance without sacrificing loot stats) was the cherry on top....
