The Snack World will launch for iOS and Android in Japan in April 2017, alongside the premiere of the CG animated series on TV Tokyo, Level-5 announced during its Level-5 Vision 2016 event. The 3DS version will follow in July 2017.

The Snack World is Level-5’s fourth cross-media project following Yo-kai Watch. In addition to the anime and game, a manga for Monthly CoroCoro Comic will launch this winter, and a toy line from Takara Tomy is also planned.

The world of The Snack World is made up of the weapon shops and inns of traditional fantasy RPGs in addition to convenience stores, cafes, vending machines, and smartphones, earning it the title of a “hyper casual fantasy” world. Battles are in real-time and use simple controls. You’ll use real-world items called “Jara,” distributed by Takara Tomy, that are equipped with NFC chips readable by the 3DS or smartphone, to unlock the same item in the game. Jara have a number of different brands, including “Britannia Enchant,” “Peffany,” Clanarine,” and “Fairy Electronics.” Read more about The Snack World here.

The new material they released gave me a Dragon Quest meets Adventure Time vibe. I hope we don't have to wait until 2020 to play this game overseas.

I loathe to see the day this gets called an Adventure Time ripoff.

Good God at the thing with the NFC items. If this thing catches on...
Is it an unprecedented move or separate purchasable toys that give bonus par for the course in Japan these days ? (evidently I'm aware of Amiibos, I mean excepting that)

Snack World's concept doesn't really excite me for some reason. Keychains don't feel the same as Yo-kai medals, where they have personality.

I want to see a 3DS demo of this.

With all the stuff Level 5 is going to release, I fear NoE won't be able to localize everything, I really hope Level 5 will start to do it themselve but I dunno if they can.
Curious about Snack World and I liked what I saw last year, will buy if it release here.

Is it me or does it look like they're using the Fantasy Life engine?
