Yo-kai Watch 4++ (Purapura) is the definitive version of Level-5’s hit JRPG, originally released in Japan on June 20, 2019, for the Nintendo Switch. This "Plus Plus" (Pura Pura) version serves as both a major paid DLC expansion for the base game and a standalone physical re-release, adding substantial new content like multiplayer modes, new areas, and a larger roster of befriendable Yo-kai. Core Content: What is "Purapura"?
The term "Purapura" refers to the onomatopoeia for an eerie, ghostly movement in Japanese. The ++ update officially launched on December 5, 2019, and introduced several key features:
Purapura Busters (Multiplayer Mode): A major highlight that allows up to four players to team up locally or online. Unlike the main game's segmented battles, this mode features combat on a full map, similar to the Yo-kai Watch Blasters spin-offs. yokai watch 4 purapura switch nsp jpn dlc up
New Playable Characters & Areas: Players can explore Blossom Heights (Dandanzaka) and a new area in the Yo-kai World known as Hell’s Kitchen (Kamayude Jigoku).
New Befriendable Yo-kai: Over 15 new and returning Yo-kai were added, including: B-Rank Variants: Jibanyan B, Komasan B, and Usapyon B. Powerful S-Ranks: Shuka, Gentou, Hakushu, and Kuuten.
Shadowside Forms: New forms for Toadal Dude, Arachnus, Shogunyan, and Shurakoma. DLC vs. Standalone Release Would you like a step-by-step guide for extracting
For Switch owners, there are two ways to access this content:
Paid DLC Update: If you own the original "Yo-kai Watch 4: We’re Looking Up at the Same Sky," you must purchase the ++ expansion separately on the Japanese Nintendo eShop.
Standalone Physical/NSP: The physical release of Yo-kai Watch 4++ comes with all DLC pre-installed on the cartridge. It features a distinct cover and often includes a physical Jibanyan & Jinpei Y Medal toy that can be scanned for in-game rewards like the "Nekoken: Jibanyuckle" weapon. How to Update and Play Outside Japan "NSP" stands for Nintendo Submission Package
Since the game remains a Japanese exclusive, international players often use the following methods:
Target Audience: Nintendo Switch enthusiasts, Yo-kai Watch franchise fans, users familiar with digital backup formats (NSP, XCI), and players seeking Japanese (JPN) exclusive DLC content.
"NSP" stands for Nintendo Submission Package. This is the file format used by the Nintendo Switch for digital games. When you see "NSP" online, it refers to the digital installation file of the game. For legal reasons, we cannot provide links to these files. We always recommend supporting the developers by purchasing the digital copy from the Japanese Nintendo eShop if you have a Japanese Nintendo account.
For Western fans, the Japanese version is often the only way to play Yo-kai Watch 4++ at launch. While a South-East Asian (SEA) version exists with English subtitles, it is frequently several patches behind and lacks specific crossover DLC exclusive to the Japanese eShop. The JPN version is the golden standard for content completeness.
However, be warned: The JPN version requires you to navigate menus in Japanese or rely on external translation guides. Reddit communities like r/yokaiwatch have extensive fan-translated spreadsheets for skills, quests, and Yo-kai medallions.
