Nikkei Trendy published a new interview with Level-5 president and CEO Akihiro Hino. There was plenty of talk about Yo-kai Watch, including the first game’s performance in North America, the next Yo-kai Watch movie, and Yo-kai Watch 3. He also shared a status update on Snack World and what lies ahead for the company.

Siliconera rounded up details from the interview, which we’ve summarized below. You can read their full article here.

Yo-kai Watch sales

– Anime has received favorable TV ratings
– Games are at around 400,000 copies sold in North America
– Hino says that looking at it from a Yo-kai Watch perspective, that’s not nearly enough.
– It takes time for things to start catching on in North America
– Level-5 is putting together a plan of having things bloom like a flower in half a year or a year from now
– Specifics weren’t shared
– Hino noted that the idea is to have North America get content that Japan has yet to see, or some content before Japan, or at the least at the same time Japan gets it

Yo-kai Watch movie

– Third film will have live action and anime parts
– Was originally planned as a full-CG film
– This would have taken two years, which would have been the case for a full live-action film as well
– Level-5 wants a new film each year and thought of ways to make that happen, including its whole story

Level-5 shared a new round of details and screenshots pertaining to Yo-kai Watch 3 today. We have information about a new mode, Zombie Night, and more.

Here’s the rundown from today’s news blast:

My Nyan mode

Yo-kai Watch 3 will have a new My Nan mode, where the player will be able to create their own Jibanyan. Its appearance, color, voice and race can be freely edited. The special Jibanyan can be brought to battles, and its stats and skills can be strengthened.

One screenshot shows parts of its appearances that can be edited: head, head pattern, eyes, head accessory, body, tail, and necklace. Additionally, there is a selection of skills and special moves.

“Escape from the mysterious phenomenon Zombie Night”

Zombie Night is a night where the yo-kai aura balance became disrupted, and zombies appear in the city. To succeed in escaping it, the player will need to ring the Daybreak Bell without getting defeated by zombies. It is also possible to beat zombies by using the professor’s special hammer.

New character introduction: two FBY investigators Maruda and Kakuri who have a book named the Y File. It’s an obvious reference to the television series The X-Files.

Those who connect the Sushi and Tempura versions of Yo-kai Watch 3 will be provided with bonuses. Bonuses are also planned for those who connect with the toys.

Finally, some screenshots of today’s coverage:

Level-5 recently updated the Japanese website for Yo-kai Watch 3. Plenty of information is included on the different pages.

Nathan Adams’ story is in the USA. Here, he meets a boy named Mack who has some great skills. Apparently Mack is the kid in this country who can also actually see yo-kai by himself.

Inaho’s story is in Japan, and she forms a Yo-kai detective agency that aims to solve Yokai-related problems. There are also various plans like building a rocket. New bosses will be appearing in Japan as well.

The stories between the USA and Japan are also connected. Mysteries that happened in the USA are being reported in the Mystery Magazine Nu in Japan, so people there can also follow what’s happening in the USA.
