When the game was announced last year, it was confirmed that the game will have two protagonists and takes place in two countries. Keita and Jibanyan’s story will be in St. Peanutsburg, USA while Inaho and USApyon’s story will be in Sakura New Town, Japan. Sakura New Town has a new map Aobahara (reference to Akihabara), along with a NyaKB48 Theater (reference to AKB48).

Yo-kai Watch 3 will have a brand new battle system with the Tactics Medal Board. Placements of the medals on lower screen’s board will also determine yo-kai positions at upper screen. Players will be able to do things like make a formation, evade enemy attacks, and switch in reserve yo-kai.

Yo-kai Sangokushi sold through 64% of its initial shipment in Japan

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 18 Comments

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.
