Yo-kai Watch Blasters[a] is a role-playing video game developed and published by Level-5 for the Nintendo 3DS. Blasters was originally released in two versions, named Red Cat Corps[b] and White Dog Squad.[c] The game is a spin-off based on the Blasters mini-game in the main series game Yo-kai Watch 2, and was released in Japan in July 2015 and worldwide by Nintendo in September 2018.[1] Human characters are noticeably absent from gameplay, and players control yōkai in a beat 'em up action style instead.

The story follows Jibanyan and his Blasters team in stopping Yo-kai shenanigans. Players tackle various missions and bosses and befriend new Yo-kai in the process. The game spoofs the Ghostbusters franchise, and is named "Busters" in the Japanese release.[2] However, due to copyright and licensing issues, the Western release was renamed, and most of the overt references to Ghostbusters were removed (including notable spoofs of the Ectomobile and Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, among others).[citation needed]
