– Takes place in St. Peanutsburg
– This is a town located somewhere in the United States of America
– Keita moves there after his father is transferred overseas
– St. Peanutsburg has Yo-kai just like Sakura New Town
– Keita will see a number of “American Yo-kai” here
– Their looks and abilities will have an “American” feel
– Dasocks: the redundancy Yo-kai; snake, has two legs with a sock on each; when he possesses someone, they’ll always say a word too many when speaking
– Pinto Corn: never seems to understand anything that’s said to him, and his eyes are always distant; when he possesses someone, they, too, tend to say things of little importance and have a dubious grasp of what all is going on; has a habit of saying, “Huh? I don’t get it.”
– Nikuyaki: middle-aged Yo-kai who loves to eat meat; when he possesses someone, they’ll randomly begin treating people to barbecue.
– New heroine character is Inaho Misora
– Inaho’s ghost pal is USA-Pyon
– USA-Pyon (voiced by Kotori Shigemoto): Jibanyan and Koma-san-grade main Yo-kai
– USA Pyon pretends to be tough and often brags, but hates being alone in his lonely shop
– Much like Koma-san ends his phrases with “zura,” USA-Pyon has a similar “dani” phrase
– USA Pyon met with NASU (the game’s spoof of NASA) doctor Pyuri and was one of the first small animals supposed to go into space
– Inaho Misora (voiced by Aoi Yuki): acknowledges herself as “a bit of an otaku”
– Inaho is shy and does not speak to others much as school
– Inaho isn’t a particularly dark personality-wise, but has a tough time with school

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.

Trading card games have always been a special breed of addictive insanity, with dedicated fan bases in Magic The Gathering, Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, a plethora of licensed TCGs and most recently Hearthstone. Adding to the list this summer is Fire Emblem 0, a new TCG releasing in Japan on June 25th, 2015.

First thing you notice right away from taking a glance at the starter decks and booster pack above is the incredible art associated with it. What the rules of the game are and how it’ll all work out are still unknown, but the designs of the cards are so pretty that, even if it turns out to be extremely convoluted, there is no shame in collecting these just to marvel at them. Admit it, you used to do it back in the day when the Pokémon TCG initially released.

No word yet on if this will be released outside of Japan, but with the right marketing I think this could end up being something big worldwide. Fire Emblem has always been a niche title, but with Awakening blowing up and the copious amount of news we’ve had lately regarding Fire Emblem If, amiibo and the Shin Megami Tensei crossover, I have no doubt that interest in Fire Emblem is at an all time high right now and could easily be taken to the forefront of Nintendo franchises – in terms of popularity like Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Kirby and more – with the right push.

If these ever got released outside of Japan, would you be interested in delving into the Fire Emblem TCG? Is your wallet ready for it? We’ve all spent hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on a TCG at some point in our lives. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
