To do: So much to do.
|
Yo-kai Watch 4 is the fourth entry in the series, now with a complete graphical overhaul, a darker storyline, and expanding on many mechanics previously seen in the series. An expanded version, Yo-kai Watch 4++, was released in December 2019, containing a new multiplayer mode, and in 2023, a Simplified Chinese localization released, making this game the first time that an entry in the Yo-kai Watch franchise came to China.

Unused Graphics
To do: Looooooooads of unused character portraits.... |
Yo-kai Tribes
Though only Baku, Jibanyan (which both have the Charming Tribe) and Hidabat (who has the Shady Tribe) can be recruited during the first chapter before the Present Yo-kai Tribes switch to the Shadowside Yo-kai Tribes in Chapter 3, when Nate is playable again, icons exist for the other six tribes too! Oddly, the Wicked, Enma or Wandroid Tribes aren't present in this graphic file.
Xbox and PC Controller Buttons
There are some unused PC and Xbox One controller button graphics, despite the game not being announced for a release on either of those systems. As the game uses the same graphic motor as Ni no Kuni II these are likely leftovers.
Ni no Kuni II Leftovers
Found in the same folders as the above.
Unused Characters
Yokanet_npc_shop_01.000
There exists an unused bust shot of an NPC character. The filename suggests that you may have been able to manually shop from Yoka Net, rather than Hailey purchasing battle items from Yoka Net for you.
x23010000
There are unused textures for Yamata no Orochi, who previously appeared in Yo-kai Watch the Movie: Forever Friends. It's possible that he could have been planned to appear during the adaptation of Forever Friends in the main plot.
x25010000
A scrapped Yo-kai boss named Hyakumenki (百面鬼/ひゃくめんき) of the Oni Tribe, It is unknown at what point in the game it was intended to be used.
x25020000
There is also a scrapped Yo-kai named Momoko (百子/ももこ), according to her Yo-kai Ark. Internally, her name and sprites are stored right after the boss Yo-kai, so they're probably related.
y02781000
There are unused textures for McKraken's final form from Yo-kai Watch 1. Based on the naming convention and other factors, it's possible that it was planned to unlock this form via Equipment or by having it innately with McKraken's base form as a Transformation.
Unused Audio
To do: Unused slightly shorter Mitsumata Mark Jingle? (bgm#230) Maybe it's used in a cutscene. |
Unused Music
bg3503
Usapyon's Invader Mode theme, from Yo-kai Watch Blasters and Yo-kai Watch 3. The filename ordering implies that it was going to be used in a cutscene, but Usapyon never goes into Invader Mode outside of battle, rendering this theme unused.
Unused Jingles
j0002
The jingle for picking up an ordinary item from the previous Yo-kai Watch games. Items picked up on the ground are displayed on the top-left screen without any jingle used. It's not even used when opening Treasure Boxes or for getting ordinary Crank-a-kai prizes.
j0003
An unused victory jingle, originally used in prerelease footage. Unlike the used jingle, it has no outro intended to play in the results screen, where it was skipped in prerelease footage of it.
j0018
The Rocket Completion Fanfare from the Yo-kai Watch anime and Yo-kai Watch 3, likely intended to play in a Hailey and Usapyon Quest.
Unused Geometry
Outer Uptown Springdale Areas
The collision for the roads leading to Blossom Heights, Downtown Springdale, and Breezy Hills can be walked on, leftover from the previous Yo-kai Watch games.
If one goes southwest further out of bounds in the district, one can find some unused geometry placed near what appears to be Shopper's Row, facing the railroad tracks leading to Downtown Springdale. It may have been there to test the low-poly draw distance.
Unused Items
To do: Add the rest. |
Some new unused items were added in v2.2.0, which was likely intended for link with Waiwai Gakuen Seikatsu.
Image | Item Name | Description | Rarity | Effects |
