At its “Vision” event held in Japan today, Level-5 announced its next cross-media franchise called “The Snack World”.

Level-5 has various plans for The Snack World. In terms of gaming, the IP will be represented on 3DS and mobile. A TV anime, manga, movie, and toys are also planned.

Level-5 did show a small glimpse of The Snack World on 3DS. By hitting the “Jara” command, players scan the items using the 3DS’ NFC functionality. They’ll then receive a map to go find it in the game. It’s also possible to obtain better drop odds by scanning some items in.

During today’s Level-5 Vision event, we received a first look at Yo-Kai Watch 3 for 3DS.

Yo-Kai Watch 3 is set in the town of St. Peanutsburg in the United States of America. Previous entries in the series took place in Japan’s Sakura New Town.

Yo-Kai Watch 3 features a new heroine named Inaho Misora as well as a new yo-kai named USA-Pyon. Both are debuting in the second season of the Yo-Kai Watch anime in July.

Level-5 will be supporting Yo-Kai Watch 3 with free, major updates in the future. The game will eventually be patched to versions 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0.

A release date for Yo-Kai Watch 3 was not announced.
