The third entry in the Yo-kai Watch series released in Japan back in 2016, and Nintendo had not given any inclination that they planned to ever localize the title for North America and Europe. Two years have passed, and finally, fans will be able to play Yo-kai Watch 3 in English, as Nintendo will be bringing the game westward. North America will be getting the game on February 8, while Europe gets it slightly earlier; sometime this winter. Currently, a Yo-kai Watch 4 is in development for the Nintendo Switch, and will release in Japan this year.

YES

even if this series is plagued with issues and mediocrity, I am still way in. I love collecting monsters! The first two were lots of fun.

 

[Glyptofane]

Oh thank god.

Is this the one named Sushi and Tempura? And what was the one that was more of a tactics game? That's the yokai i want.

3 is Sushi and Tempura, and the tactics one, I think, was Blasters Red and White, which released like a week ago.

Now all I need is for Atlus to release Untold 3 and I can close the book on 3DS's amazingness.

 

[matias3ds]

I just hope they can hack yo kai watch 4 Switch , and add English Subtitiles .

 

[ConKonner]

Oh good because I got stuck on the train part in sushi/tempuara

 

[Axlfox]

I feel like they wanna get these games out of the way so we no longer have to be two years behind japanese releases, thank goodness.

 

[Zeldaplayer67]

YES OH MY GOD YO-KAI WATCH IS NoT DEAD IN AMERICA YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Vieela]

YES! I am so glad they didn't skip it!!!! I honestly cannot wait. I'm surprised 3DS even get this amount of attention at this point.

 

[Skittyusedcovet]

Pinch me I must be dreaming or something. I can’t believe it!

 

[TurdPooCharger]

3DS still getting the love it deserves. Fuck yes!

 

[Blue]

Would've hoped 3 was also on Switch, but it's understandable that it's easier to just translate the existing 3DS one.

 

[NeroAngelo]

why do they keep delaying the 3rd ones? it's been out for years, just effing release all 3 ffs ...

Dont quote me on this but I've heard they're localizing YW3 as a single version this time.

 

[ken28]

Really happy that improves the odds of getting yw 4 in a more timely manner a bit. That games just looks so damn good sofar.

Ah, actually, after done research, Yokai sangokushi is the tactics one. I'm not sure what exactly Busters is all about.

Tough luck with that one, Yo-kai Sangokushi is kind of a collab game (L5/Koei Tecmo) and the chances of getting it localized are very slim, the fact that YW3 is getting localized first is a huge sign we may not be getting it at all.
