Level-5 appears to be preparing two new Yo-Kai games. In the back pages of CoroCoro Comic’s latest issue, it’s revealed that Yo-Kai Watch 3 as well as Yo-Kai Watch Busters are in development.

Yo-Kai Watch 3 should come as no surprise given the franchise’s success. Yo-Kai Watch Busters is a bit more interesting. This was a game mode in Yo-Kai Watch 2, but is now getting a full-fledged release. Thus far, we know that Yo-Kai Watch Busters will allow up to four players to team up and take on boss yo-kai together.

We’ll be hearing about Yo-Kai Watch 3 and Yo-Kai Watch Busters in the next issue of CoroCoro Comics.

Atlus announced today that Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight is launching in North America this summer. It will be available in stores and on the eShop for $49.99.

Read on below for an overview of Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold’s features. We’ve also gone ahead and attached the game’s English announcement trailer.

Creatures of Comfort: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold is the seventh entry in the Etrian franchise (eighth if you count Persona Q, and you know we do) and has a level of refinement that could only come from consumer feedback. Improved systems and mapping make Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold one of the most approachable Etrian titles to date.

Untold Classics: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold has two ways to play the game, continuing the tradition of the Untold franchise. Classic mode revisits the original Etrian Odyssey 2 with updated graphics, player conveniences, and a full roster of classes. Story mode features a fixed party, but includes voiced dialogue, animated cutscenes and a bittersweet arc that explores the relationship between Arianna and the Fafnir Knight.

Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson is coming to North America and Europe this summer, XSEED Games and Marvelous have announced.

In North America, XSEED intends to release Senran Kagura 2 both physically and digitally (first title was eShop-only). There will be a limited run “Double D” retail release, which comes with a two-disc soundtrack.

Marvelous will be publishing Senran Kagura 2 in Europe – also as a physical and downloadable product. Several special limited edition versions will be sold exclusively through the company’s dedicated site, all of which can be found here.

We’ve included a bunch of (Japanese) screenshots and art below. You’ll also find a rundown of features after the break, along with the game’s opening movie and a gameplay video.

Imageepoch announced Stella Glow for 3DS last October. There’s literally been no news about the game since then, but an unexpected update was finally shared today.

SEGA will now handle publishing duties for Stella Glow in Japan. Additionally, it’s been revealed that the title is slated for June 4. Pricing is set at for 5,990 yen.

View some screenshots from Stella Glow above. If you need a refresh about what it’s all about, check out our original post here. We also posted several details here.
