AbdallahSmash026 from YouTube has another round of gameplay up from Yo-kai Sangokushi. Get a look at the latest footage below.

This month, Yo-kai Sangokushi launched in Japan. Famitsu caught up with two of the most important people that made the collaboration title possible: Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino and Koei Tecmo CEO Kou Shibusawa. The interview contains talk of how Yo-kai Sangokushi came to be, trying to make the game appealing to kids, the partnership between the two companies, and more.

We now have a lengthy abridged translation of Famitsu’s interview. Continue on below to read it in full.

Yo-kai Sangokushi recently debuted in Japan, and some extensive gameplay has now come in. Get a look at 49 minutes of footage below.

Four new 3DS themes based on Disney properties are available worldwide. For a look at all of them, check out the video below.

Yo-kai Sangokushi moved 270,000 copies during its launch weekend in Japan (April 2 and April 3). Media Create now reports that the game sold through 63.87 percent of its initial shipment.

Even though it’s a spin-off, this title’s sales fall well short in comparison to the series’ last release, Yo-kai Watch Busters. That one sold nearly 700,000 units in July 2015. However, when compared to Pokemon Conquest which was another collaboration game from the past (first week sales of 172,000 units, sell-through rate of 58.43 percent), Yo-kai Sangokushi sold much better in both numbers and sell-through rate. Given that, one could say that it’s off to a good start.

New data reveals the best-selling games in Japan in Q1 this year, based on sales calculated between January 4 and April 3. Yo-kai Sangokushi is already in the top three despite only having been out for about a week.

Here’s the full lineup:

01./00. [3DS] Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 3 (Square Enix) {2016.03.24} (¥5.250) – 467.299 / NEW
