Yo-Kai Sangokushi was announced during the Level-5 Vision event earlier today. We didn’t make much mention of it as platforms were unannounced at the time, but the game’s website appears to confirm the project for 3DS.

Level-5 is collaborating with Koei Tecmo on Yo-Kai Sangokushi, which is a Yo-Kai Watch and Romance of the Three Kingdoms crossover. Koei Tecmo’s Kou Shibusawa is producing the title.

You can find the Yo-Kai Sangokushi website here.

Yo-Kai Watch has been officially announced for North America and Europe. Level-5, the game’s developer and publisher in Japan, is teaming up with Nintendo for the overseas release.

Nintendo will also bring Yo-Kai Watch to Australia, New Zealand, and Korea.

Today’s announcement does not specify any sort of timeframe for Yo-Kai Watch’s western launch.

Head past the break for the press release in full.

At its “Vision” event held in Japan today, Level-5 announced its next cross-media franchise called “The Snack World”.

Level-5 has various plans for The Snack World. In terms of gaming, the IP will be represented on 3DS and mobile. A TV anime, manga, movie, and toys are also planned.

Level-5 did show a small glimpse of The Snack World on 3DS. By hitting the “Jara” command, players scan the items using the 3DS’ NFC functionality. They’ll then receive a map to go find it in the game. It’s also possible to obtain better drop odds by scanning some items in.

You can get a brief look at The Snack World running on 3DS below.

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.

During today’s Level-5 Vision 2015 event, CEO Akihiro Hino briefly touched on the company’s western plans for Yo-Kai watch. Level-5 will be teaming up with Nintendo, who will publish the games in the west. As was previously announced, Hasbro is handling the toys outside of Japan.

We’ll be seeing Yo-Kai Watch in North America next year. Level-5 and Hasbro intend to roll out the series to other territories month-by-month, with the global launch finishing off by the end of 2016.

I’ll also briefly mention that Level-5 announced a new collaboration with Koei Tecmo titled “Yo-kai Watch: Three Kingdoms”. Since there’s little information out there currently (and it may not end up on Nintendo platforms), we won’t be covering this game in-depth just yet.
