Nintendo will release Yo-kai Watch 2 in North America on September 30, the company announced today.

As in Japan, the game will be available in two versions. Consumers will be able to purchase Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits and Yo-kai Watch 2: Fleshy Souls.

Here’s an overview from Nintendo:

All things Yo-kai continue on Sept. 30 when YO-KAI WATCH 2 launches in the U.S. exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems. Already a huge hit in Japan, the sequel to the first smash hit, which is once again developed by LEVEL-5, offers the same deep RPG gameplay and wacky adventures as the first game. The new adventure also offers many new areas to explore outside of Springdale, more than 100 new Yo-kai, a new-and-improved in-game Yo-kai Watch and even the ability to travel back in time! YO-KAI WATCH 2 will also launch with two versions, YO-KAI WATCH 2: Bony Spirits and YO-KAI WATCH 2: Fleshy Souls, each featuring rare Yo-kai that can only be found in their respective games.

Also planned are new toys this fall, including the Yo-kai Watch Model Zero, a new series of collectible Yo-Motion Yo-kai Medals, plus custom Yo-kai Watch accessories, large plush toys and electronic figures. We’ll also be seeing the Yo-kai Watch Trading Card Game and the second series of the show on Disney XD. More details can be found after the break.

A new CoroCoro video shows a bit of footage from Yo-kai Watch 3. Get a glimpse at the RPG’s battle system below.

If you’re a fan of DS/3DS title Inazuma Eleven, you might be in for a treat. Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino tweeted out a picture of a character that definitely seems to be from the soccer-based roleplaying game.

This isn’t the first time that Hino might have teased something new coming for the series, so the chances of a sequel seem high.

During a live stream several hours ago, Level-5 and Square Enix announced a couple of collaborations between Yo-kai Watch and Final Fantasy XIV.

In terms of Nintendo-related content, Yo-kai Watch 3 will feature a pair of special Yo-kai. Chocobonyan (Jibanyan riding a chocobo) and Mooglinyan will both be featured in the game.

Here are some images of the collaboration:

Yo-Kai Watch will finally be released in Europe tomorrow – the game has been out in all other territories for a while. To further promote the title, Nintendo have published two new trailers, one about the game’s theme song and another more general trailer. Check them out below:

Following CoroCoro’s coverage, Level-5 has shared a bunch of new information about Yo-kai Watch 3.

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.

Level-5 has sent out some new assets for Yo-kai Watch 3. We have the boxarts for the two versions above, and some screenshots/art below.

Level-5 has just released a brand new Yo-kai Watch 3 trailer. You can get the latest look at the game below.

As was recently revealed, Yo-kai Watch 3 ships on July 16 on Japan. It’ll come in two versions: Sushi and Tempura.

Scans of this month’s issue of CoroCoro are starting to leak and one of them concerns the next mainline Yo-kai Watch game. Yo-Kai Watch 3 was already announced a while ago, but thanks to the scans we now know that the game will be released in Japan on July 16th. Furthermore, like many recent Yo-kai Watch games, it will be released as two versions: Yo-kai Watch 3 Sushi and Yo-kai Watch 3 Tempura.
