What date did Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls first release in Japan?

Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls first released in Japan on July 10, 2014. In Japan, these two versions were called Yo-kai Watch 2: Ganso and Yo-kai Watch 2: Honke, respectively, and both launched together for Nintendo 3DS.

The sequel expanded the original Yo-kai Watch with new areas, nearly 100 additional Yo-kai, and a time-traveling story involving the protagonist's grandfather and the origins of the Yo-kai Watch. As with many games in the series, the paired versions included different version-exclusive content, encouraging trading and communication between players.

The date is easy to mix up with later regional releases. In North America, Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls arrived on September 30, 2016; in Europe, they arrived on April 7, 2017. A third Japanese version, Yo-kai Watch 2: Shinuchi, later became Psychic Specters and released on December 12, 2014.
