Last month it was confirmed Yo-kai Watch Jam: Yo-kai Academy Y for Nintendo Switch, where it will be released this summer. A few days after the announcement, Level-5 launched the official website, which now has been updated to bring us even more details and images of the project.
We leave you with all the new information (courtesy of Gematsu) then:
Your own life role-playing game at the academy
Various free events will take place at the academy. You can witness a confession of love, meet students fighting or even play a joke on a couple of lovebirds. It is up to you whether to intervene or simply skip these types of events.
If you can complete these events with a good result, students will thank you and like you.
Become a Yo-kai hero
Control the main characters, who possess the ability to transform into heroes who use the power of yo-kai and onryo, and defeat the evil onryo to solve the many mysteries of the academy.

Don't settle for winning! Win in style!
While this is an action game, the battles are highly strategic as the timing of the transformation is important and the order in which you defeat the enemies makes sense, but there are other highlights as well.
The battles in this game have spectators (an audience). If you fight while looking good and showing your best moves, you will receive likes from other students. You shouldn't just win battles, you should win them in style.
Conversely, if you use incorrect movements, the size of your audience will decrease. Defeat the enemy in style and take a characteristic pose!
