Level-5 released Youkai Watch in the Summer in Japan and it looks like the region is set to receive another iteration of the series as CoroCoro magazine has stated a new title is in the works.
The 3DS title centres around around a young boy who comes into possession of a special wristwatch that enables him to see ghostly creatures in his environment. He must befriend some of these ghosts and use them in battles to stop the various townsfolk from being haunted.
It's unclear at this point whether this is a fully fledged sequel or an enhanced version of the original. Level-5 has devised beefed up versions of some of its titles in the past including Fantasy Life Link!, which released in July.
Youkai Watch has been selling consistently well in Japan. Last week's figures had it in tenth position in the multi-format chart and it had amassed 164,230 sales at that point.
Level-5 has not brought it to the West yet and we're still waiting on news of a Fantasy Life release. We have seen trademarks appear in Western regions for the latter, but there has been no such indication for Youkai Watch.
Would you like to see Youkai Watch make it to the West? Let us know in the comment section below.

Yes I would like to see this game come to the west and the 3DS needs rpgs.
I would definitely buy this game if it came to the US
Please come here q_q. That is all.
I'd like to see it come over, but sadly I doubt it ever will...
I really hope it comes This game sounds interesting.
Level-5 needs to develope a full featured rpg for the 3DS. They've released some awesome short games in the eshop. I hope this one will be just that.
I think I want trying this game... I hope put in the eShop....
I would play this game if it came to the west. I'd also be perfectly fine with an E-Shop only release like Phoenix Wright.
Level-5 really have got themselves another hit in Youkai Watch, It's evident that they're trying to go down the Inazuma Eleven route with this franchise, especially when you consider that the Manga will be serialised this December and the Anime will air in January.
Level 5 needs to level up its localization. They made some of the seemingly best 3ds games available... In Japan only. I have most of the 'guild' titles and enjoyed them quite a lot, especially the superb Liberation Maiden and the magical Attack of the Friday Monsters. Both topping my personal 'if only it were longer (and boxed)' list.
Come on Level 5! I've been looking forward to the Layton/Wright crossover since its first announcement, same for Time Travellers!
And the tv-show has yet to start!!
Really want this, Time Travelers, DQ7, and fantasy life.
Anyone interested in seeing this some day come to the States and other territories, here's a petition for Level5 to try and get it released internationally!
