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!

Marvelous’ latest update on PoPoLoCrois Farm Story covers the Zuzuru region, spanning the Mauricio Ranch, Zuzuru Village, and Zone Village. View the roundup of details below.

– In order to save the world from the “Black Beast” that suddenly appeared, Prince Pietro heads towards the foreign country of Galariland
– Located in the summertime land of the Zuzuru region (all of the game’s major hubs are defined by a specific season), where the grasslands and water are radiant and the sun is always shining, is the “Mauricio Ranch”
– Here, the normally healthy cows have been plagued by an unknown illness, and the people of the ranch are perplexed
– When the rancher who left in search of treatment for the cows doesn’t return, Prince Pietro sets out in his place
– South of the Mauricio Ranch is a wide-gaping cliff with a cave, where Zuzuru Village was established to avoid the heat
– Because it’s in a cave, sunlight never gets in and it’s dark at night, meaning lamps are a necessity
– Zone Village: another village in the Zuzuru region
– Zone Village is an everlasting summer resort with bright and cheerful residents
– Village has bustling shops, a deep blue sea, and welcomes all of its visitors
– Release the “fairies” of each land to increase your livestock
– Encounter fairies on your journey
– Farming at certain locations will yield special results, such as the “Boomerang Cucumber” and “Light Watermelon” you’ll get farming at the Gentle Geothermal Ranch
– Romalia (voiced by Kumiko Nishihara): The fairy of the Zuzuru region, governing the Gentle Geothermal Ranch
– Mauricio (voiced by Michitaka Kobayashi): owner of the Mauricio Ranch and Mayuri’s father; loves his cows
– Mayuri (voiced by Misato Fukuen): Mauricio’s daughter; worried about her father, who hasn’t returned from seeking out a cure for the cows
