This is the first game in the Yo-kai Watch series to be released in the Chinese market. However, this version has numerous changes, such as:

• Redesigning Gutsy Bones and Jinta/Jingeki, making them look like robots/androids.
• Covering Blizzaria's cleavage in her Shadowside form.
• Removing Hot Pot's spout.
• Redesigning Yamamba to make her look less scary.
• Changing the text to remove words that are considered "taboo" in China, such as "ghost", "kill", and "medicine".
