Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits and Yo-kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls, released in Japan as Yo-kai Watch 2: Ganso (Japanese: 妖怪ウォッチ2 元祖 Hepburn: Yōkai Wotchi 2 Ganso?) and Yo-kai Watch 2: Honke (妖怪ウォッチ2 本家 Yōkai Wotchi 2 Honke) are a pair of role-playing video games developed and published by Level-5 in Japan and Nintendo for the international releases for the Nintendo 3DS. The games are a sequel to 2013's Yo-kai Watch, and were released in July 2014 in Japan, and in North America and Australia in late 2016 and will be released in Europe in April 2017. Much like their predecessor, the games put players in an open world, befriending and battling various yōkai; ghosts and apparitions originating in Japanese folklore, that cause mischief in daily life. In Yo-kai Watch 2, the memories of the protagonists Nathan "Nate" Adams and Katie Forester are erased when the Yo-kai Watch itself taken away, leaving them with no recollection of their past adventures. However, s/he soon stumbles across the Yo-kai butler Whisper once again, and his/her adventures resume.
Developed in the wake of the first game's rising popularity, Yo-kai Watch 2 became one of the most highly anticipated releases in Japan in 2014. Released to positive critical reception and an overwhelmingly successful commercial response, the games easily became two of the best-selling games on the Nintendo 3DS, boosted by the established popularity of the Yo-kai Watch anime series and various merchandising efforts. By February 2015, the games had sold an accumulative 3.1 million copies. A third version of the game, Yo-kai Watch 2: Shin'uchi, was released in December 2014, which further expanded upon the changes introduced in the original Ganso and Honke versions of the game. By June 2015, Shinuchi had sold over 2.6 million copies. The game will be released in the United States in Fall 2017 under the name Yo-Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters.
