What are the two Japanese version names for Yo-kai Watch 3?

The story behind the answer

The two initial Japanese versions of Yo-kai Watch 3 were Sushi and Tempura. Level-5 released both editions for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on July 16, 2016.

The paired versions followed the tradition established by earlier Yo-kai Watch games, with different version-exclusive Yo-kai and content encouraging players to trade or connect with others. Yo-kai Watch 3 also expanded the series with two protagonists: Nate Adams, who moves with his family to the United States-inspired region of BBQ, and Hailey Anne Thomas, who operates a detective agency with the Yo-kai Usapyon.

Sukiyaki is the common source of confusion. It was indeed a Japanese version of Yo-kai Watch 3, but it was a later third edition released in December 2016, rather than one of the original two versions. The English releases were based on the expanded Sukiyaki edition, so players outside Japan may encounter a different version structure from the original Japanese launch.
