The animation in the promo-video was super-smooth and high quality, plus the series itself seems to be extremely tongue-in-cheek in regards to classic RPG-tropes. Got lots of Wreck-it Ralph-vibes.
I am quite intrigued by this. They said they plan to have the anime in the same way as the promo, let's hope the quality holds up on a weekly basis.

N3DS gameplay demo from the live presentation:

Didn't understand a word said in the animation (don't know Japanese sadly 
) but I love the how expressive the character animate and the main character reminds me a lot of Finn from Adventure Time (always pushing forward and just rolling with the craziness around him).
Also love the RPG touches the animation has (the background of the main character, the princess character, and even the battle introduction with HP/Magic bars and his party fleeing), really reminding me of Wreck it Ralph and once again, Adventure Time (that series always felt like a surreal version of the Zelda series to me).
The game using the key-chain's is a smart idea, as that being tied to the classes is a great way in doing the Skylanders-thing with the 3DS/iOS game (gives a the main character a lot of flexibility in terms of growth).
Really hope this comes to America and Europe faster then Level-5's other properties; this has the potential to really take off and be a hit.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
This looks really great.
There's also a film & manga in the works

Phantom Hourglass wasn't terrible at all, imho, in terms of control scheme. I could see this being touch, if they are developing exaclty the same game for mobile too, even if probably adding an additional input (the analogo) would not be so heavy in terms of programming. We'll see.
yes, I was looking for this image to be added in the OP, thank you for the update!
Wonderflick was their first real attempt to the mobile market. It had various issues int erms of bugs or something like that, that's one of the reasons why it failed and they (apparently) cancelled its console versions.
I can't see that fail to somehow tone down this multimedia franchise, that is way more in line with their classic outputs and that will probably be out on 3DS at the same time of the mobile version. Localization timeframe will be as long as a pain in the ass, of course, as usual...

The best thing from the stream for sure.
I quite liked the show too (and I couldn't even understand what they were saying =X)
Hopefully L5 will do a faster job in localization for this.

A huge collab there. From Corocoro to TV tokyo to Takara Tomy and of course Toei. A huge collab.^_^
Toho is not Toei. Toei has nothing to do with this, they're an animation company. Toho is a film distributor, and they'll be handling the distribution for the Snack World films. The animation is by OLM, Level5's long time partner for this sort of stuff (Inazuma, LBX, Yokai Watch).
If you want to correct OP's info, please let me know. I probably did some mistake there

There isn't much to "correct" since there isn't much info there to begin with.

Companies involved are in the OP
Which one you think generates the most revenue? That's the one they'll go with.

Interesting. I was honestly expecting their next project to be absolute shit but this doesn't look too bad.

This looks fun, and I like the NFC stuff being used away from Amiibos.
I'm definitely curious.
Also, reminds me alot of Fantasy Life, which is a good thing

Think it should. Would be limiting your fanbase to make it New 3DS only.

Why?
Don't worry, they'll probably end up publishing it everywhere else anyway.

I don't imagine the microtransactions-as-toys thing will do the game design any favors, but who knows, maybe it won't be predatory and limiting.

Pokemon.
Also I think they are expanding in that direction. Amiibo and possibly media expansions in the future.

I was thinking the environments would be made up of Doritos.
Rivers of Dew?
All of Level 5's DS and 3DS games have optional touchscreen control. This one is no different.

Kinda wish they get Jacob Hopkins (voice of Gumball) or Zach Callison (voice of Steven) to do the main character's voice. The voice actress was good at times but it's so obviously a woman's voice. Hell, get Tara Strong to do since she is really good at voicing little boys.
The VA was....'meh' but considering this is a very early version of this dub (not even sure if all the episodes of the show are finished yet or the game for that matter), this is a great sign that this series will come west-ward soon
.Guess that after the huge success of Yak-Watch, they want to bring their future IP's to the west faster, so having that in mind when making this is a really smart idea. Love the character designs and the keychain-class idea is very interesting, most notibaly the way both the show and game uses it (works almost 1-to-1 across both mediums; the show the main character makes them morph into larger weapons while the game has you scanning them amiibo style on the touch screen to summon them). Should prevent issues happening with mixing up or ignoring gameplay mechanics (see Pokemon and Ash being 'the very best' trainer out their :l).
Really looking forward to the show as it reminds me a lot of Adventure Time, and that is a great show too

Level-5 already trademarked Snack World in Europe: https://oami.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/owners/396697
This might signal the intention of bringing the game sooner than we expected considering that Yo-kai Watch has been trademarked only a few months ago.

for the possible wrstern faster localization, I suppose that Hasbro licensing deal for YW could have a role also in the long term for Snack world. it's not a case, I suppose, that they shifted from Bandai to Takara Tomi right after that YW Hasbro "betrayalon"
necrobump? I don't know if it's thread-worthy, considering that is "just" for the anime.
But The Snack World anime will debut in Japanese theatres on December 19 alongside...the second Yo_kai watch movie.
Pretty smart move, imho.

The game looks to be extremely promising, especially with the key function.
I think the character designs are some of the best Level-5 has created. Here's hoping it's fun to play!
