That's not Yellow Bird!
Yeah, it's a bit concerning.
With this, the reports of merchandise purchasing dropping by 75% and the fact that ratings for the TV show have dropped back below Pokémon in Japan, I am questioning the longevity of Yo-kai Watch again.
Doubt it'll ever go, but the popularity is waning.

Pyon is the sound of something jumping.
He's actually not a rabbit but a bear in a rabbit shaped spacesuit hehe.
Have no problem myself with them releasing loads of games they are content packed and high quality, more please.

Seems there's a pattern with these games, the 2nd game was made in 3 parts just all confirmation of the 3rd part been kept secret but there were hints as there were youkai in the ending that were not found available in the game till shinuchi came out.
Wonder if there are things in busters that are shown but not available that the 3rd version will reveal. If it's anything like the shinuchi version there will most likely be a lot of new stuff.

I know there are costumes in the game. The B jibanyan/B Komasan outfits. The 4 UsaPyon costumes too.
This game will probably have a few new costumes, maybe a B UsaPyon for example.
The costume menu was way too big for there to just be costumes for those 3 Youkai.

Level-5, slow down.
How else are they going to fund their vaporware PS4 game though?

if it launches with 2 version, then most likely the 3rd one will come months after that

YW Busters is the best selling game this year, and surpassed the sales of all Pokémon spin-offs, showing that the IP is still going strong - you don't regain popularity by leaving the holiday season empty and therefore a game under Christmas along with the new movie is perfect timing.
Oh absolutely (except the surpassed the sales of all Pokémon spin-offs. That's wrong). I just have the fear Level 5 are going to Level 5 it, and it certainly is looking that way
The timing is perfect, like you said. They did the same with Shin'uchi last year.AtomskEater

This reminds me to just wait a few months for the third version of YW3.
Yeah, considering how merchandise is going down, this was the right move

Really doubt there will be, since there is only one version now.
They currntly plan 4 large updates for the game itself, and the game apparently has two stories. One for the girl which takes place in Keita's town, and one for Keita which takes place in the US.

Best-selling Pokémon spin-off is Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time / Darkness at 1.551.640 units. Yo-kai Watch Busters is at 1.529.798 units without counting digital sales (we know the game sold 33.243 units on the eShop in July alone so its total is 1.563.011). While it will be replaced by Moon Rabbit soon, the game still have some gas in the tank to reach the 1.7m mark.

I was gonna get Busters soon. Guess I'll go with this one.

And even i am moderately surprised
USAPyon : yeah, there is some official mini-booklet (or similar) in which it's revealed they are an otter. Yeah, I was confused too.
As for YWB3 ? well, we had similar with YW2 which had three versions, but only version 3 had all the content from both.
It's somewhat similar between Mighty Dog and Red J versions of YWB - you can only get Buster versions of Koma and Jibanyan in the respective versions, can only get whisper in MD, three bosses are completely different and don't appear in the alternative version (this makes you coop to get certain items for certain upgrades/weapons etc). I suspect YWB3rd will pull all that together, add a few more bosses, and that'll be it (probably in time for Xmas if I want to be cynical). USAPyon is already in both versions - and has , like, 7 costume changes - more than any other character (for me so far)
Not sure whether we'll bother - we're all done, and our kid has moved onto Minecraft and since the USAPyon story line he's not bothering with the anime either :/
All over Dance Party Yokai Watch though - that's going to be fun.
Meh, the general audience of this game (kids) probably wouldn't know that fact so the games would still sell well. If I know a better version of a game is coming later, I'm going to wait for it.

One week where Pokemon is barely ahead of Yokai Watch and it's behind in ratings? Quite the narrative you're spinning here.
You need to back up the nonsense you go on about.

That's seriously impressive for a spin-off. I've been meaning to import Busters, but I might wait for the third version.
I really don't understand what they're going to do with YW3 when they are already using up all the big things they announced with the game like Usapyon, the new watch, and the new female character in all of their other products from my understanding. This game in particular makes sense given the movie though.
The third version of YW2 actually isn't a combined version of the other two games. It's got it's own stuff, and you'd be missing exclusives from the other two versions.
Same will probably go for this. New content exclusive to this, but will be missing a few things the other two have. Easiest to guess would be the version exclusive bosses.

Will this work like the third version of YW2, in the sense that having the previous two versions will also unlock additional content?
Hyperbole is a thing people like to use.

It seems to come up in every Yo-Kai Watch thread.
There isn't any info besides the fact the game is being made, but it's safe to assume that's what they'll do.
