The wildly successful Japanese 3DS RPG is making the jump to other regions in 2015.
Yo-Kai Watch, a 3DS RPG from Level-5, is releasing in North America and Europe in 2015 according to Level-5 President Akihiro Hino in a Japanese interview.
He said that they have been looking into launching the series, which also includes a toy line, anime, and manga, in other regions. Level-5 is planning to launch the Yo-Kai Watch series globally in 2015, and are even working with a large toy manufacturer.
Yo-Kai Watch first debuted in Japan in the summer of 2013, and was a sizable hit. The sequel, which was launched as two versions in July, was an even bigger success, shipping 2 million units in three weeks.
Hino didn't dive into specifics of the release, but given the company's past history, it wouldn't be a shock to see Nintendo publish Yo-Kai Watch in other regions. To date, the only games that Level-5 has self-published on Nintendo systems are the Guild series and Inazuma Eleven on the 3DS eShop.
