Just like Yo-kai Watch 2, Yo-kai Watch Busters is getting a third version in Japan called “Moon Rabbit Team”. The game will feature USApyon as the main Yo-kai. Owners of the older Yo-kai Watch Busters games should be eligible for some sort of free update.

Yo-kai Watch Busters launches in Japan this December for 3DS. There’s no other news yet about what else is new in the game, but you’ll bring you that information when it’s available.

It seems like Nintendo is planning something similar to Splatoon’s Global Testfire for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. A few hours ago, some people who have a Japanese Nintendo Network ID received an e-mail from Nintendo containing three download codes for a special Tri Force Heroes demo. Those lucky enough to be selected can share those codes with two of their friends and play online together a specific times. The demo will be online at the following times:

• 10/10 23:00 – 24:00
• 10/11 10:00 – 11:00
• 10/17 23:00 – 24:00
• 10/18 10:00 – 11:00

We will keep you updated on further development, including a possible demo for European and North American audiences.
