During Level-5 Vision 2016, the first actual gameplay from The Snack World was shown on 3DS. A new CG trailer also debuted. Both can be found below.

The Snack World makes it possible to play as protagonist Chup or go on an adventure using your own characters. Level-5 is also incorporating the keychain items “Jara” in real life, which can connect with the game to obtain weapons. Various Jara “brands” will exist with their own characteristics.

The Snack World launches for 3DS in July 2017.

Both versions of Yo-kai Watch 3 sold a total of 632,000 copies in its first week (July 16 and July 17). Media Create now reports that they sold through 63.07 percent of the initial shipment.

Unsurprisingly, Yo-kai Watch 3 obtained the highest first week sales of all games released so far since the start of the year. However, the series saw a big decline in comparison to the last entry. Yo-kai Watch 2, which debuted in July 2014, experienced first week sales of 1,317,000 copies with a 92.16 percent sell-through rate. It also did not manage to match the spin-off title Yo-kai Watch Busters. That game arrived in July 25 with 694,000 copies sold in its first week and a 73.60 percent sell-through rate.

On the hardware front, New 3DS sales sold 136.68 percent when compared to last week. Since Yo-kai Watch 3 connects with NFC and related toys, it is thought that this has caused an urge in the demand to trade off from the old 3DS.

Depending on how you buy Yo-kai Watch 2 at the end of September, different bonuses will be available to you.

Nintendo announced today that those who pick up the physical version will receive “an exclusive Yo-kai Medal from Hasbro that gives Jibanyan a powerful new in-game Soultimate Move when scanned into the game.” On the other hand, going digital provides “players the opportunity to battle and befriend new Yo-kai: Sailornyan or Robonyan F.”

Yo-kai Watch 2 will be sold in Bony Spirits and Fleshy Spirits versions. The Yo-kai and Medals differ based on the version of the game purchased.
