Yo-Kai Watch 3 is the best iteration of a series that's admittedly starting to show its age on the 3DS.

Justin Clark played Yo-kai Watch for 40 hours. A copy of the game was provided by the publisher.
For all of its problems in the first few hours, Yo-Kai Watch 3 turns itself around wonderfully for an experience most any player can enjoy. Its a great entry for fans new and old, and an indicator of the greater heights the series is headed toward.

All three (released in the west so far) are somewhat held back by a simplistic combat system but boast an infinite amount of charm. There are very few games that can make me smile the entire way through and that counts for a lot.
