Last month, Level-5’s CEO Akihiro Hino said that Yo-Kai Watch 2 will be a “huge phenomenon” in the US, just as it was in Japan. Hino recently revealed more about his predictions for the game’s success in an interview with USgamer. He said that the game will be successful due to its originality and attractiveness. Hino doesn’t think anyone in the US could create a game likeYo-Kai Watch 2, and that makes it uniquely Japanese.

“I feel like the western developers have maybe taken our place. As a Japanese game creator, I do feel a responsibility for Japanese gaming to take that place back. “The entire game is something that no one [in the U.S.] can create. It’s unique to the market, which is a big differentiation. People perceive this as a fantasy that they’ve never seen before, and we think we do have a good position for the audience to perceive a unique and attractive game series.” — Akihiro Hino
