On what date did the original Yo-kai Watch game release in North America?

The original Yo-kai Watch game was released in North America on November 6, 2015. It was the first game in Level-5’s Yo-kai Watch role-playing series and launched internationally more than two years after its Japanese debut.

The game originally appeared in Japan for Nintendo 3DS on July 11, 2013. In North America, Nintendo helped publish the localized version, which retained the central premise: players take the role of Nate Adams or Katie Forester, use the Yo-kai Watch to see otherwise invisible creatures, and solve problems caused by them.

A common mix-up is October 5, 2015. That was the U.S. premiere date of the English-dubbed television anime, not the game’s release date. April 29, 2016, was the European release date, making November 6 specifically the North American launch.
