This isn't a Nintendo game though, so if NoA isn't interested, maybe someone else can license it for release in the US.

 

[Henke]

Consider me extremely interested in this. Well played, Nintendo.

Fixed

 

[Boney]

oh god please get an american release

 

[speedpop]

I'm buying it. I never got around to grabbing the 2nd games, despite enjoying the first one immensely.

 

[RurouniZel]

I want this. Please bring this to America! Anyone!

 

[vareon]

Not to distrust duckroll but what's the source?

 

[MrKaepora]

Have the first game for DS and was holding on buying the sequel. If this comes to Europe it's a perfect purchase.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I thought football was pretty popular among the younger generation in the US?

I believe USSF is more popular than the NHL.

 

[duckroll]

Not to distrust duckroll but what's the source?

Corocoro. There's a scan out.

 

[urfe]

semi-off topic, but I- a native English speaker- have played all the Layton games in Japanese, and bought an English copy of one of the games for the sole purpose of lending to my Japanese friends.

Point: Do the same thing with the Layton series, and give us language options! The riddles are great for practicing a language.

 

[tsab]

I hope it comes to Europe and don't do the Scamco way breaking the release in two

 

[vareon]

Corocoro. There's a scan out.

Thanks.

 

[Canis lupus]

This is nice, I love Captain Tsubasa and looking for another franchise like that.

 

[slaughterking]

They break it into six.

 

[diffusionx]

I really doubt this will go outside Japan. Wouldn't they have to translate a bunch of games?

I wanted to get Inazuma Eleven imported but I see the sequel is out. Which is better - Firestorm or Blizzard?

 

[Huff]

I liked the first one, but not enough to buy a different region's 3ds. I hope someone brings it over here

 

[extralite]

Unlikely as NoA (rightly) prefers to do their own localisations. That does seem to be changing slightly with Xenoblade and potentially The Last Story.

What other games they released could they have used the NoE translation? Seems pretty consistent in that they use something if it's ready for their release and don't bother to do it from scratch then.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

I would definitely buy this if it is released in North America

 

[wrowa]

I like to think that they are porting it to the 3DS partly because of the European market.

It wouldn't surprise me if we only get 3 or 1-2 sold in one package and 3 seperately, though.

 

[Castor Krieg]

How much is there to translate? System is already translated in Inazuma 1, guys' names can be generated easily, and I doubt there is shitloads of text in story mode.

 

[2San]

If this releases in Europe. I think that'll be what convinces me to buy a 3DS.

 

[Ushojax]

Nah, if a game comes out in Europe first like Trace Memory, Fire Emblem DS or Minish Cap, NoA will get Treehouse to do their own (likely better) translation rather than use the NoE text. Wherever possible NoA prefer to do their own scripts, which almost always end up better than the European versions. Advance Wars Days of Ruin is a case in point.

The recent Fire Emblem games and Glory of Heracles were translated by 8-4, not Treehouse. NoA has already shown that they don't have to use Treehouse on titles they consider more niche.

 

[Jamie OD]

Fingers crossed that this becomes the next European release. The series has been pretty good and my younger self would have been addicted to them if the games existed years earlier.

 

[Nekki]

Worldwide release and Layton too please!!!

 

[DenisQc]

A soccer game isn't going to do well in the US anyway....

with the women olympic team in finals, it is a golden opportunity to boost this game
even the canadian team is in 3rd place match.

go release it !

(and here in Montréal, soccer starts to become big )

 

[Boerseun]

Wow, wow, WOW!!

Anyone who thinks this is just "a soccer game" doesn't know what they're talking about.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

So no 3D?

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

I think an American release would probably depend on if the show gets picked up here. If it does I could see Bandai or Nintendo going ahead with this (and maybe Strikers/Go series too).

For IE2, the main differences are just minor story points and various secrets. In the end it all comes down to if you like the whiny fire user or the awesome dual-personality ice user.

 

[panama chief]

Inazuma....i love you.

for some reason nintendo doesnt think the americas love futbol...?

 

[Santiako]

This will sell a lot of 3DSs here in Spain, Inazuma is massive in this country.

 

[Metallix87]

This seems like a great way to introduce North American gamers to the franchise. Hopefully, it's brought over here after the inevitable European release.

 

[jrDev]

What's soccer? Sounds like a dirty word. Pretty sure this is a football RPG.

This. Respect x 100

 

[CaVaYeRo]

They should sell a 3DS XL - Inazuma pack here in Spain for X-mas.

Not any representative of the hardware though...

 

[IrishNinja]

holy shit day one ive heard so much good its so awesome to finally

A European release won't do anyone with a US 3DS any good.

;_;

...oh. right. ._.

Do want
Wonder if they will do the same for the first Layton Trilogy.

okay, this i'd be hyped about, totally slept.

 

[Aostia]

As soon as it will hit europe, it will be day 1 for me.
the perfect plan should be:

Inazuma strikers september
Inazuma collection december
Inazuma Go 3ds holidays 2013

go go go!


besides, I think that with the IEGo2 already planned for a Japanese winter release, this collection is not so smart for the Japanes market.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

If this comes to Europe I'll be all over it! Still need to start the second one actually, especially with Strikers coming next month

 

[syoaran]

I would love to see this come to Europe in a timely fashion. Been holding out getting the first 2 in the hopes of a 3DS remake

 

[Meier]

I imported the first one from Europe and loved it. I'd definitely be down for more so I'm crossing my fingers we get lucky here.. this seems like an ideal scenario for a US introduction.

 

[Zenaku]

So no 3D?

The scan states that the game does indeed have 3D. It's just 3D environments with 2D sprites, so it should look similar to Fire Emblem if they get the 3D depth right.

 

[Wichu]

Still half-way through the first one on the DS. I guess I'll wait and see if this is released in Europe first.

 

[squall23]

You guys are lucky. You guys get the IEGo Griffon movie dubbed and cut into TV episodic format even before the Japanese DVD/Blu-Ray was released.

 

[duckroll]

Erm... I don't think there are any 2D sprites in the game. It's like DQIX.

 

[Kouriozan]

Whoa, I need it, played IE 1 & 2 and can't wait for 3/GO.
I hope they'll bring this to EU quickly.

 

[GCX]

I'm sure this was green lighted with Europe in mind. The first two games sold well so this is pretty good way of continuing the series.

 

[electroplankton]

Btw, graphical improvement or not, I think that 3 (or 6, whatever) games in one cartridge priced as one is a pretty good strategy, and nice move for consumers.

 

[chickdigger802]

Are there actually 6 different games? I know the series does the whole multi version thing.

 

[squall23]

Erm... I don't think there are any 2D sprites in the game. It's like DQIX.

Sprites in the world are 2D in a 3D environment. Everything else is 3D.
