The official website for Level-5‘s Yōkai Watch 3 3DS game revealed on Thursday that the game will ship in Japan in summer 2016.
Level-5 describes the title as an “updating game,” as multiple large-scale updates will be available to download after its release. The game will feature new, “American-looking” Yo-kai, including Dasocks, Pinto Corn, and Nikuyaki (Grilled Meat Ogre). The game will take place in the fictional town of Saint Peanutsburg (a pun on the Russian city) in the United States, where Keita will live in a large two-story house and have access to the Johnson Space Center.
The first game will receive an English release this holiday season. Nintendo will publish the role-playing game on its Nintendo 3DS platform in the United States, Latin America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Korea.
