Yokai watch remastered on the Nintendo switch , the graphics have updated and online play is now possible too battle against friends and family This section will highlight differences between Yo-kai Watch and Yo-kai Watch 1 for Nintendo Switch. The textures have either been upscaled or redrawn and graphics now have higher poly-count and smoother anti-aliasing, to take advantage of the Switch's capabilities. The screen is now slightly more zoomed out, allowing for a bigger view of the area to be displayed on-screen, especially in docked mode. The animated cutscenes, and more specifically the Bonus Scenes are now shown at native 1080p resolution, rather than downscaled to 544p. The game now runs in a smooth 60fps, compared to 30fps. The Yo-kai Cam is not available in this port, due to the Nintendo Switch lacking a camera function. The map at the bottom-right corner can be resized just like Yo-kai Watch 4, with the zR button. Dialogue boxes for characters now have voices just like in Yo-kai Watch 3 and Yo-kai Watch Blasters. An outline of the player character is now present when they go under objects, such as the pipes in the Springdale Underground Waterway. The Touch Screen controls for the Yo-kai Lens and some of the Yo-kai purification features during battle have been changed to the Left Stick when the game is played in docked mode. The player now has infinite stamina, just like in Yo-kai Watch 4. However, it is still present during Terror Time. That makes using the Staminum give player a faster speed rather than giving temporary infinite stamina. The Main Menu has been reorganized to combine the bottom screen functions into the form of a tablet in a similar akin to the Yo-kai Pad. Loading times for battles and entering locations have been shortened. The function to scan QR Codes for special items have been replaced by scanning Yo-kai Arks and Y Medals like in Yo-kai Watch 4, due to the Nintendo Switch not supporting a camera. Unlike the original game, multiple items are now given rather than just Coins. This now makes the Jewelyans harder to obtain, as their required Arks are needed to be scanned to get the items. Jibanyan now shouts out "Paws of Fury!" when doing his Soultimate move, whereas the original Japanese version of Yo-kai Watch didn't have. Robonyan's higher-pitched voice from the original game was changed to his deeper equivalent to match consistency with newer games. The player now has the ability to battle with others online. The Crank-a-kai received some changes: The game now saves automatically when using the Crank-a-kai just like in Yo-kai Watch 3. The player can now use the Crank-a-kai more than three times a day, with the number of cranks being randomized just like in Yo-kai Watch 2. As the Nintendo Switch doesn't have Play Coins, the ability to use that was replaced with something else. The StreetPass feature for Wayfarer Manor was changed; adding friends for playing with other friends who have a copy of Yo-kai Watch 1 for Nintendo Switch will automatically add their information to it. Yo-kai Medal icons for Rare Yo-kai in the Medallium have been changed from a gold frame to a regular silver frame with a "R" on the Medal and Legendary Yo-kai medals have a gold frame rather than purple, like in Yo-kai Watch 3.
