What Is Yo-Kai Watch 3?

Yo-Kai Watch 3 continues the story of Nate and his friends as they encounter a new town, new Yo-Kai, and a fresh mystery. The game introduces the American town of BBQ, where Nate moves with his family, and also features Hailey Anne, a new protagonist who befriends a Yo-Kai named Usapyon.
