It's a great port and a fun game. I played through to the final boss and only gave up at the end because I hated the mechanics of it.
Thanks! I could've sworn I saw an online review that said something similar.

I feel like in 10 years. YW3 physical release in USA will be seen as an urban myth on youtube retro 3ds videos.
(Yes I know you'll say "but we can google it and see it exist", that hasn't stopped them from getting easily verifiable information on GBA stuff wrong).
10 years from now I hope content creators would have already moved onto something alot better.
To be fair, there are still content creators that are focused on NES. It takes a lot of experience and time to unravel a lot of each consoles secrets. Things like the NES black box variants and the order in which they were released took years to be fully understood. Hopefully, having a more active collector base documenting some of this stuff will help, but I'd bet there will still be content creators making some content for 3DS in 10 years (and NES still as well).
Definitely but I meant move onto something better than YouTube. I should have been more specific.
I hate to say yes, but the shit came out like 4 months and is ALREADY going for $70.I don't know if $70 Yo Kai 3 is a good price since it's impossible to find. What do think? Get it now or pay a lot more later on.

I haven't played much so I can't speak to it's quality, but it's worth something.

My mistake. Didn't catch that.I'd rather pay $70 for a physical copy then pay $40 for the digital version.
Beside that, if you're just looking to own a physical copy and play the game, there is a high chance they'll just release a Switch compilation of the first 3 games. I picked up so many games over the last years, just to "get burned" by rereleases on modern hardware.I'm always leery of paying over MSRP for modern games when the system is still being sold in stores and cart manufacturing is still occurring. I don't really think it will see a reprint at this time, but you never know. We saw a lot of rare DS games get reprinted well after the DS was no longer being sold but the argument could be made that was partly because of the 3DS backwards compatibility.

We all saw it coming, just not THIS soon.
I can't help but feel that's actually a digital copy. I'm not gonna put the $40 to check lolDid anyone buy YW3 from Walmart.com? I thought it was already out of stock everywhere
You're probably right. especially since it's also being sold for 100 USD on the same siteI can't help but feel that's actually a digital copy. I'm not gonna put the $40 to check lol

I can confirm it's just the code.Did anyone buy YW3 from Walmart.com? I thought it was already out of stock everywhere
Nice. I didn't realize it got so expensive. I got it last October for 25 dollars off of AmazonPicked up a copy of Persona Q (the first one) at GameStop tonight. After some coupons, snagged it for $20.
I noticed that someone is selling it on Walmart for $100. Only 4 left!
$100 for a game released this year. Whew. Wonder if Nintendo is seeing this and considering a reprint.
Come on, be real. Only Gamestop pulls that shit where they see how expensive it is going for and release more copies at higher than MSRP (new and used).
I don't mean that Nintendo would sell $100 copies, lol. I mean that they would reprint the game and sell it at the normal retail price.
Then they would be sitting on tons of overstock. There is a reason lots of publishers don't do more than 1 run, and it doesn't matter how much it goes for on the used market after the fact.
Maybe Sega should reprint Panzer Dragoon Saga.

I don't see Nintendo or Level 5 doing a 2nd print run of Yokai 3. A lot of stores are starting to get rid of their 3DS sections and Nintendo would rather sell a digital copy instead of manufacturing a 2nd run and maybe risk nobody buying it and loosing money on manufacturing.
Yea, if it were to get a reprint I doubt many stores would be willing to stock it and it would be a ln exclusive reprint from somewhere like GameStop.
Again this ignores that stores have restocked atlus last two 3DS games (Persona Q2 & Eo X). If a game is selling and a publisher offers to print more, stores will stock them.
With that said, I don't expect a restock because if we look back at Level 5 releases in the west, they have a habit of not getting huge print runs. Look at YW Blasters, look at Layton's Mystery Journey, look at Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright, etc... I feel the only title to really stick around on store shelves was YW2 and it's 3 variants. =)
I mean it's the way things work I guess, but I find it so disappointing that old games are becoming a luxury good.
I am in the process of scrambling to pick up some 3ds games I am interested on before things get out of control... the DS is a lost cause at this point.
A successful platform like the DS is never a lost cause as a whole. Sure, you shouldn't pay $60 or more for a game unless you really, really want it, but most games can be had in the $20 to $40 range, which is perfectly acceptable for a game you want to add to your collection imo.
Of course, if you mean specific niche games, then those are a different story, but that story has also been around since forever. Some games are basically launched as "rare" and become even rarer with time, and it's always been like that. Not every game will be Super Mario Bros. 3 that you can always get a copy of.
I know but these days the market is much more stiff and things are scalped away at launch... Special editions (good ones) often are only available for sale for hours just to gather mold on a scalping closet.
I'm just bitter that the reselling economy has taken off that's all.
I agree the market is different than it was a couple gems ago. Everyone is trying to stay ahead of the collecting curve and pick things up before they go up in value. This leads to a shorter period of time when the prices are bottomed out.
Yeah, that's a thing.
I've always preferred original goods, but... during the later DS - early to mid 3DS I hit a rough patch personal and economical and wow at this point it feels like I should just give up and homebrew a 2ds xl for "backups"... buying the things I missed while I couldn't afford them it's going to be a good chunk of cash =/
I just feel like I got tag teamed you know? When they were out and available I couldn't get them because I was fucked and now that I unfucked myself the scalpers and resellers are gonna fuck me over.
Anyways as I said, bitter rumblings that's all.
Maybe you shouldn't try to buy everything at once. Make a priority list, with considerations for games that are more likely to go up in price, and start chipping away at it at your own pace. Also deals, restocks, and even reprints sometimes happen, as we've seen in this thread and elsewhere. So for a game with a price that's too steep, maybe let it be for now and see what happens with it.
Just a heads up that Yokai Watch 3 is up on Amazon UK again for £32.
I just got on it, used a couple of discounts and got it for £16 which is pretty great.
It automatically tries to get you to buy it from Retro Games Nordic, but it is sold by Amazon themselves for 1p more, which allows you to add Amazon-only discounts.
