The next Yo-Kai Watch game is coming to Japan sooner than expected. In the April issue of CoroCoro , it was revealed that Yo-Kai Watch 3 will release July 16 and be split into two different versions, Pokémon style.

The two versions of Yo-Kai Watch 3 will be titled Sushi and Tempura and the cover art for each game was shown, with many of the Yo-kai involved.

Here’s the scanned CoroCoro showing Yo-Kai Watch 3 Sushi and Tempura versions via Nintendo Everything.

No other information for Yo-Kai Watch 3 was revealed in CoroCoro but in the months leading up to the release fans should expect more details regarding both versions.

And while Japan is getting its third installment of the main Yo-Kai Watch series, the rest of the world is still waiting for Yo-Kai Watch 2 to come to the Nintendo 3DS. Perhaps Nintendo of America is getting ready for the second main game this year, as evidenced by the Yo-kai from Yo-Kai Watch 2 being included in the Wibble Wobble mobile game.

The first Yo-Kai Watch was released in the Fall of 2015 so it’s possible Yo-Kai Watch 2 will be released later this year, and Nintendo will announce the game around E3 time, but that’s all speculation at this point.

So what do you think of Yo-Kai Watch 3 and being split into two versions? Let us know in the comments section below.
