Yo-kai Watch 3 Out in 2016

Yo-kai Watch 3 will be taking on Japan sometime next summer, Level-5 confirmed this week.

The new Nintendo 3DS game will, interestingly, be the first title in the series so far that will be set in the US, with protagonist Keita (or Nathan, as he's known in the West), staying in a town known as St. Peanutsburg.

In the meantime, Level-5 will be releasing various titles - including the Yo-kai Watch Busters and Yo-kai Watch: Three Kingdoms, a collaboration with Koei Tecmo.

The first game in the franchise, Yo-kai Watch, will be available later this year across North America.
