Yo-kai Watch 3

Yo-kai Watch 3
Also known as: Yo-kai Watch 3: Sushi, Tempura & Sukiyaki (JP) Developer: Level-5 Publisher: Nintendo Platform: Nintendo 3DS Released in JP: July 16, 2016 Released in US: February 8, 2019 Released in EU: December 7, 2018 This game has unused areas. This game has unused graphics. This game has unused items. This game has unused text. This game has regional differences.

This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes.

To do: Clean the page up a bit. Document more unused locations. Any unused music? Prerelease stuff. Revisional changes, including the YouTuber shoutout from the lottery ticket description. Cutscene-exclusive locations with a map and header, including the UFO from the battle with Don Spirancy

Yo-kai Watch 3 is the third main instalment in the Yo-kai Watch series, which is jam-packed full of new Yo-kai, new locales to explore, a revamped battle system, and American stereotypes. Lots and lots of American stereotypes.

This game was originally made to appeal to western audiences hence the setting, but the poor handling of the franchise overseas and complicated localization ended up releasing this game very late into the Nintendo 3DS' lifespan, just 4-6 months before Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth.

Regional Differences Welcome to (totally not) USA!

Yo-kai Watch 2 leftovers The game would be basically Yo-kai Watch 2.5 at this point.

Unused Areas

To do: Add the filenames and filenames (if applicable). Are there any more? Check the Japanese vanilla versions to see if any more curious unused locations exist.

Unused Blasters T map?(room id:t592d10)

Found between some Blasters T maps. It's an empty red room with some clouds floating by. It even has unused music.

Collision test?(room id:t401d99)

It's a big area with some invisible slopes/stairs and a low quality dirt graphic.

UFO

To do: Extract the minimap and location header graphics.

This area is only used in a cutscene, so it can't be explored. However, teleporting inside of it reveals a header and a map, which are unseen normally.

Uptown-Triangle Way

There's a weird area called: Uptown-Triangle Way. Unfortunately, it's an empty void.

Riddle Rooms

Technically not unused. In the riddle, the player is in a 1st person perspective, so the full areas can't be seen. By using a save editor, it's possible to see them in the overworld. When going downstairs in Katie's room, the player will be teleported in the normal house.

Test Rooms

There are 11 test rooms in total. testmap and testmappl 1-10. All of them are empty (according to my knowledge), except testmap. It has 4 horses and a shiny item on the ground. There's no solid ground. Because of this, the item and the horses can't be interacted with.

Unused Music

To do: What's the file named, and is it present in Japanese vanilla versions?

A music that would be best fit for Blasters T, which can be heard in the unused room t592d10.

Unlocalized Content

To do: Localized Medetai Medal graphics

Summoning App

The summoning app was cut from international versions of the game, but the icon along with its related graphics were fully translated in English.

Summoning app top

Everything is the same, except that the summoning songs don't play at all for either Yo-kai Watch when a Yo-kai is summoned.

Dream Medal/NFC Functionality Text

Despite the international versions of the game not supporting NFC functionality, the text strings for said feature was fully translated.
