Level-5 has recently trademarked Yo-kai Watch in the United States. A game based on the series was released on Nintendo 3DS last year and features a boy with a special watch that lets him interact with Japanese spirits, called Youkai. Youkai Watch also has its own anime and manga series. A sequel to the game has already been announced for release in Japan.
This trademark could indicate a desire to release the game to a new audience. While this is by no means a confirmation of Level-5’s intent to release the game in North America, with an Inazuma Eleven title also trademarked, it is a real possibility.
