Yo-Kai Watch 3

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.

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.
