A new guest is arriving in StreetPass Mii Plaza. That’s right! Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime is starting to go out to 3DS owners, at least in North America.
The special Mii is being distributed in celebration of E3 / National StreetPass week. In case you’re wondering, it shows that Reggie’s been playing Hyrule Warriors Legends recently.
Thanks to Duarte N for the tip.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 26 Comments
Nikkei Trendy published a new interview with Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino. There was plenty of talk about Yo-kai Watch, including the first game’s performance in North America, the next Yo-kai Watch movie, and Yo-kai Watch 3. He also shared a status update on Snack World and what lies ahead for the company.
Siliconera rounded up details from the interview, which we’ve summarized below. You can read their full article here.
Yo-kai Watch sales
– Anime has received favorable TV ratings
– Games are at around 400,000 copies sold in North America
– Hino says that looking at it from a Yo-kai Watch perspective, that’s not nearly enough.
– It takes time for things to start catching on in North America
– Level-5 is putting together a plan of having things bloom like a flower in half a year or a year from now
– Specifics weren’t shared
– Hino noted that the idea is to have North America get content that Japan has yet to see, or some content before Japan, or at the least at the same time Japan gets it
Yo-kai Watch movie
– Third film will have live action and anime parts
– Was originally planned as a full-CG film
– This would have taken two years, which would have been the case for a full live-action film as well
– Level-5 wants a new film each year and thought of ways to make that happen, including its whole story
