Level-5 has just revealed the third entry in its best-selling Yo-Kai Watch series, due to launch on the Nintendo 3DS.

Yo-Kai Watch 3 will take place in North America, in keeping with the storyline of the ongoing anime series. A new character is introduced called Inaho Misora, who has her own Yo-kai named USApyon.

Level-5 has stated that the game will developer over time, with versions 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 already planned for the future.

There's no word on a western release, but the first Yo-Kai Watch title is coming to North America and Europe in 2016.

And I just finished expressing my disappointment that the first Yo-Kai Watch isn't coming to North America anytime soon! Consider me relieved! 2016 is better than never! They probably announced it earlier and I simply missed it.

Yeah, given the anime, manga and toys are all centered around the first series, it would make more sense to chronologically release them. I would've actually been upset had they localized the third game first, tbh.... Even if it puts us drastically behind Japan, I'd rather play in order (even though I've already played the games in Japanese). But will preorder the 3rd game asap to keep mu 3ds library up to date >.<
