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

Nope, the characters are all sprites. Even in DQIX, NPCs were sprites.

 

[electroplankton]

nvm

 

[Ezalc]

Always wanted to get into this series, hopefully they release it in NA so that my buying of a 3DS can come that much sooner.

 

[duckroll]

No, they're not. DQIX had *some* NPC sprites, not all of them, and those were very obvious. Most were 3D though. Really shitty 3D models, but 3D nonetheless.

 

[GhostTrick]

If it comes to Europe, I just hope it wont ends like One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP aka not-enough-space-in-the-cartridge then split this into 2 games to sell it at a high price.

 

[djtiesto]

Not really into soccer (I like American football better sorry guys ) but I have a soft spot for the old Captain Tsubasa games, and want to try another soccer RPG hybrid, so I hope this collection comes to the US. Plus I know GhaleonQ is a big fan and I definitely trust his taste...

 

[Exterminieren]

If/ when this comes to Europe, it'll be my jumping-on point with the series. I've heard good things, and that's crazy value.

 

[randomkid]

This is so ridiculous, I remember jokingly wishing for an Inazuma Trilogy ages ago, how is this a real thing?

Amazing news, I refuse to believe that this won't come to Amurrica. There's no piracy excuse, Nintendo, Namco, XSEED, I don't care who it is, someone snap this up! I'm still in the middle of my import playthrough of 1, but it's the most charming game I've played in years and it'll be criminal if it gets passed over again.

 

[KillerTravis]

They should release it in Latin America where football is the most played sport.

Do they not have the Spanish dub yet? It's doing fantastically in Spain from what people are saying.

 

[BriBri]

So to get a white 3DS LL/XL, play some Inazuma in English and play some translated Atlus games I need 3 3DS's? Damn you region lock!

 

[Madao]

so, it begins.

now someone needs to post this idea at Capcpom and we might get Ace Attorney Investigations 2 outside japan if they do an AA collection with every game on a 3DS cart before AA5 hits.

 

[AndyMoogle]

A US 3DS is clearly the better choice.

I don't expect to get any handheld Atlus games in Europe ever again, so a US 3DS is clearly a much better choice.

I bought the first Inazuma game when it was released in Europe, but I didn't enjoy it at all. It was the weakest Level 5 game I've ever played.

 

[Conan-san]

Hum, I bet NOE wishes this had come to light a little sooner than it did, could have saved them a bit of time translating 2.

Also, My choice is to by No 3DS untill such a time as the Region Locking can be defeated. I am not giving Nitnendo any of my money untill that time. If that is never then so be it.

 

[AkimbO_Arcana]

Intersting. I almost picked up Inazuma 2 recently, now I'll wait.

 

[Alrus]

Hum, I bet NOE wishes this had come to light a little sooner than it did, could have saved them a bit of time translating 2.

Not really, IE2 sold pretty damn well and I'm sure they're happy they released it when they did.

 

[MrT-Tar]

I've been thinking of getting into this series for a while now, now I'm waiting and definitely getting this if it sees a PAL localisation

 

[Conan-san]

Not really, IE2 sold pretty damn well and I'm sure they're happy they released it when they did.

I mean in terms of geting up to date with Japan a bit quicker so they can get to the 3DS stuff like Go! and have strikers make a bit more sense.

That said I need to get off my ass and get IE2, also finsh IE 1 (got distracted during the "Get the four old members of the Inazuma Eleven" bit) the show buggering off of Disney XD didn't help maters.

 

[squall23]

I find it funny how so many people think this would be released in Europe in place of IE3. Doing this will probably yield the least amount of profit. If anything they'll release IE3 Spark and Bomber, and then The Ogre god knows when, and then soon after can I see this collection being released.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I was really excited about this for a moment, but then I remembered that the 3DS isn't region free. Arghhhhhh.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

They should do this for Layton...

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Surely somebody will pick this up and bring it to NA...... right? It seems from value alone it would sell rather decently.

 

[Blood Diamonds]

OH MY GOD!!!
Fuck you NoA!
FUUUCCCKKK YOOOUUUU

Spoiler

just kidding I love you

 

[clemenx]

Well, if they want to try their chance with this franchise in America this would be the game to try it.


SO PLEASE, TAKE MY MONEY AND RELEASE THIS IN AMERICA.

 

[MasterSheen]

The site is up. http://www.inazuma.jp/inazuma123/

 

[commanderpepper]

I'm not a fan of real life soccer but, virtual soccer games are great. I like playing Fifa games and Inazuma Eleven is a solid title. I'll be keeping an eye out on this game.

 

[squall23]

Boxart is using the anime's character design.

wat

 

[Diggeh]

Level-5 announced a new Inazuma Eleven release for 3DS. It's a compilation of all 6 DS games ported to a single 3DS release.

See, Capcpom? A Mega Man Battle Network Collection is possible!

 

[olimpia84]

This is the perfect kind of title to test in the NA market since it's just a compilation with low development costs.

Are all the IE games very similar to one another? I imported the first one (UK version) and got bored towards the end and never managed to finish it.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Looking good

This is the perfect kind of title to test in the NA market since it's just a compilation with low development costs.

I doubt localizing all games will be cheap.

 

[slaughterking]

Looks like what one would expect. Nothing mindblowing, but being less pixelated is nice.

 

[GhostTrick]

Dat texture filtering
Really, it's cool that they're not doing some lazy port. At the beginning, I was expecting a straight port, with at best widescreen. But they're also bringing the 3D (IIRC) and smoother graphics.
It HAS to release in Europe.

 

[Hellraider]

Want dammit!

 

[electroplankton]

Yeah, it seems Level-5 has worked quite a bit on this collection.

 

[Kouriozan]

This will looks good on my XL
So we're getting striker this september, maybe IE3 between december and february, I can see this game launching in 10-12 month in EU with GO, that would be perfect.

 

[slaughterking]

For some reason I can't find good screens of IE Go, but I wonder if the 3DS ports look pretty much like the original 3DS games. lol

 

[Vibed]

How's Level 5's North American branch doing? I'd love for them to get on this...

 

[Kurita]

Wow, I didn't expect it to look so good.
Not sure if they are Inazuma Eleven GO graphics though.

 

[cw_sasuke]

For some reason I can't find good screens of IE Go, but I wonder if the 3DS ports look pretty much like the original 3DS games. lol

IE Go looks way better because of the Cel Shading character models - imo.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=8ndNGA-7w90#t=76s

But the DS titles look still great.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

Eh, i for one hope they will still release IE3 for DS in Europe, i got the first 2 and would hate to break my collection with having to get this compilation instead of regular IE3 hmm

 

[extralite]

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.

Don't know about TM and MC, but if you compare the NoE version of FEDS to the NoA one you shouldn't find many differences in the script. You're right though that it was by NoA. The game's American release was only slightly later than the European one.

You should better assume that all games that usually come out in the US are translated by NoA anyway, no matter the release date. In case NoA passes a game up and NoE have to translate it by themselves then NoA would use that version if they change their mind later, I'm guessing.

Advance Wars came out earlier in the US than in EU, why would you assume they could have used a script by NoE?

 

[Bumhead]

This is something I've been wondering for a while really, but how much does it generally cost to localise a videogame?

In terms of porting to other regions, is that something that could be launched via a kickstarter? Or is that a road we don't want to be going down..

Just curious, really.

 

[RAWi]

Might be the perfect opportunity to try the Inazuma Elevem games !

Damn yea! With this and the Mexico vs. Brazil game of Saturday, I am really pumped up!
