The game is inspired by Yo-kai Gakuen Y: N to no Sōgū (Yo-Kai Academy Y: An Encounter With N), the new Yo-kai Watch anime series.
The series is set in the same high school academy setting as Eiga Yo-kai Watch Jam: Yo-kai Gakuen Y – Neko wa Hero ni Nareru ka (Yo-kai Watch Jam the Movie: Yo-Kai Academy Y – Can a Cat be a Hero?), the sixth film in the series, and continues the film’s story.
The official website for Level-5’s Yo-kai Watch franchise revealed on Friday that the Yo-kai Gakuen Y Wai Wai Gakuen Seikatsu (Yo-Kai Academy Y: Lively Academy Life) game will launch digitally for Nintendo Switch in Japan on August 13.
The Eiga Yo-kai Watch Jam: Yo-kai Gakuen Y – Neko wa Hero ni Nareru ka anime film opened in Japan on December 13.
