Nintendo Australia today confirmed that the once Japan-only Yo-Kai Watch is heading to Australian 3DSes.

Developed by Level-5, the game “centers on a boy who gets a special watch that lets him befriend and help mischievous Yo-kai and later summon them to fight other Yo-kai,” which are ghosts, but not.

“Players can overcome challenges and help various characters solve everyday problems with the help of Yo-kai friends! These eccentric Yo-kai resemble anything from inanimate objects to mythical creatures,” Nintendo continued.

Yo-Kai Watch was first released in Japan in 2013. It heads to Australia “soon”.
