"On the gaming front, Nintendo has given our fan base even more opportunities to explore the world of Yo-kai, interacting with the characters and storylines."

Season 3 returns with Nate, Whisper, and Jibanyan as whacky hijinks around Springdale continue and a gaggle of new Yo-kai show up to create all kinds of new trouble. This time though, Nate isn't the only one with a Yo-kai Watch! Usapyon, the rootin'-tootin' space cowboy Yo-kai enlists the help of sci-fi superfan Hailey Anne, giving her a Yo-kai Watch of her very own, which she will use to find Yo-kai who can help Usapyon with his ultimate project: building a Yo-kai-powered rocket! Together, this new duo is aiming for the stars!

Following the popularity of YO-KAI WATCH™ 2, YO-KAI WATCH™ BLASTERS will be released as a solo action RPG! Team up with your friends (locally* or online) to lead Jibanyan and his Blasters team in action-packed battles and missions, battling new and some old fearsome BIG BOSSES in an entirely new way. YO-KAI WATCH BLASTERS drops you into real-time battles allowing you to control your Yo-kai as you strategize with different skills and equipment to become the strongest Blasters team. Shorter, fast-paced missions allow you to embark on a journey to meet, befriend and battle more than 400 new and returning Yo-kai. Each of the two versions of the game contains exclusive Yo-kai to befriend, missions and bosses.  By trading between the two, you can collect all the Yo-kai! 

*Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode. Sold separately.
