St. Peanutsburg, here we come!

When his dad’s job relocates the family to a new town, Nate waves goodbye to Springdale and many of his Yo-kai mates. Not to worry, though – his old pals Jibanyan and Whisper are making the move to St. Peanutsburg, too!

Just as Nate’s settling in to his new life, he’s pulled into a whirlwind adventure when shady agents Blunder and Folly come knocking with questions about a UFO that’s crash-landed on the outskirts of town.

Equipped with a state-of-the-art Yo-kai Watch Model U and with plenty of new Yo-kai to befriend, it’s up to Nate, Jibanyan and Whisper to discover what’s behind this cosmic conundrum!

An intergalactic encounter

Back in Springdale, Hailey Anne, a sci-fi fanatic and budding detective, discovers a Yo-kai Watch Model U2 during a trip to her local toy shop. After putting on the watch, Hailey Anne meets Usapyon, a Yo-kai on the hunt for a rocket scientist.

A fan of all things cosmic, Hailey Anne eagerly joins forces with the pint-sized moon rabbit, and the pair decide to set up their own detective agency to help out the people of Springdale!

A change of scenery

They may be oceans apart, but you can switch between Nate and Hailey Anne’s adventures in a flash! As their stories unfold, and both Nate and Hailey Anne delve deeper into the troubles of their towns, fate may see these heroes band together for a greater purpose…

See what’s happening in St. Peanutsburg and Springdale

Welcome to St. Peanutsburg!

Located in the country of BBQ, St. Peanutsburg is one rootin' tootin' town! Whether you’re visiting the historic Northbeech harbour, trying your luck with the Dream Wheel, or enjoying a slice of the country life at Meadowbrooke Farm, there’s so much to do!

You can even go river rafting! Upgrade your trusty raft with special equipment and discover new areas as you float down the rapids, but beware of obstacles and Yo-kai that may damage your precious vessel!

Meet the locals

Equipped with the Yo-kai Watch Model U and with the help of local Yo-kai interpreter Lionguist, Nate can see and interact with St. Peanutsburg’s unique Yo-kai. Unlike Springdale’s Yo-kai population, ‘Merican Yo-kai are all inspired by BBQ’s unique cuisine, culture and lifestyle.

Lionguist

A lover of languages, Lionguist is a master of all things wordy.

Salty Bacon

This slice of bacon gets crispier the angrier he becomes, and crispy bacon is simply the tastiest!

Treetter

Though quiet in real life, Treetter talks a lot online, and every word makes the tree on his head grow.

In-Tune

These sisters sing in perfect harmony. Their habit of keeping it up in conversations can be a little irritating.

Sleuthing back in Springdale

Help Hailey Anne and Usapyon build up the Ha-pyon Detective Agency! Clients will visit the agency and it’s your job to help solve their problems, by collecting certain items or defeating specific Yo-kai.

Widen your investigations by visiting the nearby towns of Harrisville and San Fantastico, or help out Yo-kai in need by completing favours posted on KaiNet.

Dungeon running

Accessed via a peculiar hatch in Nate’s back yard, the Cluvian Continent is a vast desert full of dungeons to explore. Join up with the Yo-kai Blasters T group, a team of Yo-kai dedicated to exploring this land, and collect the treasures buried beneath the sands!

Get to grips with what’s new

For those familiar with battling and befriending Yo-kai, expect some interesting twists to the formula, as well as some exciting new additions in YO-KAI WATCH™ 3!

Combat takes on a strategic edge with the new Tactics Board! Rather than selecting your active Yo-kai via a wheel, move a team of three Yo-kai anywhere within a 3x3 grid to collect Life and Spirit Orbs, and even dodge enemy Soultimate Moves!

Positioning is key for making the most out of the Tactics Board – Yo-kai on the front row benefit from beefed-up physical attacks, while those in the back gain a boost to their Techniques.

Play to your team’s strengths: position your Yo-kai next to each other and they’ll perform combo attacks, or place a strong Yo-kai in front of its teammates to soak up incoming damage.

Things that go bump in the night

One eerie night, an ominous bell rings out around St. Peanutsburg, sending the whole town to sleep and causing zombies to rise from their graves!

While they may be tough, Nate can fight the zombies using a special hammer. Sneak past the shambling horrors, whack ‘em on the head, and ring the Mourning Bell to awaken everyone from this dreaded dream! There’s a chance you’ll be pulled back into the Zombie Night, with greater rewards on offer – but more ghouls hunting you down!

Get creative!

Create your very own cat Yo-kai with Build-a-Nyan! Known as Originyan, you can fully customise this Yo-kai, right down to its colour, name and even the Tribe it’s a member of, and add it to your team.

Throughout your adventure you’ll discover new voices and accessories, and really make Originyan your own. By training with special Trainers, Originyan can learn a variety of different Techniques and even Soultimate Moves!

Battle against the best

Want to test your skills? Face off against other players and their Yo-kai locally* in Local Battle, train against friends using Friend Battle or challenge the world with ‘Merican Dream Battles** – online face-offs split into two categories: Casual and Official Rank Battle.

Casual Battles are exactly that – clashes with no pre-set rules or settings – while Official Rank Battles have you earning Rank Points with every win. Keep climbing the ladder and try to reach the elite S-Rank!

Go treasure hunting with the Blasters T group

*Local multiplayer requires one console and one copy of the software per player.

**Wireless internet connection required. The registration of Nintendo Network ID and acceptance of the network related terms required. The Privacy Policy applies.

Your base camp

When heading out to explore dungeons around the Cluvian Continent, prepare your party at the Blasters Camp! Located near a lush oasis in the Cluhara Desert, select your team of four Yo-kai, outfit them with the right equipment for the job and then send them out on expedition.

Time for treasure!

Take direct control of your Yo-kai team, avoid traps, and battle against hostile forces – all while collecting as much loot as you can lay your hands on! Each dungeon is chock-full of treasure, from tasty treats that help befriend Yo-kai to equipment that’ll beef up your squad.

Don’t dilly-dally, as you’ve only got a limited amount of time to find the exit of each randomly-generated floor. A Big Boss awaits you on the final level of each dungeon, so be ready for one last push before you escape with your spoils.

Build up your expedition

Just like in St. Peanutsburg and Springdale, there’s a chance to befriend Yo-kai you defeat. As long as you reach the dungeon exit, these befriended Yo-kai will join your party and can be brought back to help Nate in St. Peanutsburg!

Should you need some additional assistance, you can join up with other treasure hunters via local* or online** co-op and collect loot together!

Discover some exciting extras
