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. The 6 games are probably the first game, both versions of the second and third games, and The Ogre. The graphics are reformatted for widescreen as well. This is a 5th Anniversary Inazuma Eleven project.

Title: Inazuma Eleven 1.2.3!! Legend of Endo Mamoru
Price: 5800yen
Release Date: November 15 2012
Platform: 3DS

 

[VOOK]

Will sell millions (and then in Europe too)

 

[Xater]

I hope that is their way to get Europe up to speed with the series.

 

[Orgen]

Sooooo this will be the next Inazuma Eleven for Europe? (skipping the third?)

 

[electroplankton]

omg
that was unexpected
great move, finally, and I do hope this was thought for the PAL release

they should do the same for Layton

 

[duckroll]

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

;_;

breaks my fucking heart

 

[slaughterking]

This sounds like a fantastic opportunity for a European release. Getting the third game to Europe like that would be really wonderful. :I

 

[Gloam]

So this is how Level-5 is going to recoup development costs?
I will buy this if it comes to Europe, bought the first game but didn't get the second despite enjoying what I played quite a bit.

 

[slaughterking]

I don't think there come significant costs with the development of Inazuma. lol

 

[squall23]

They should remake IE3 a bit so that it has more

Spoiler

Endou x Natsumi

.

 

[cw_sasuke]

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

 

[BassForever]

Really wish they'd used the compilation to test the NA waters for this title

 

[Heropon]

I suppose he's talking about their other bombas.

Did you buy a US 3DS? I'm sorry

It's still pretty early to tell but if Wii U is region locked (...) you'll be better buying a Euro one than a US one. Just saying!

 

[dragonlife]

Compilations are the perfect things to release in a new territory. Can't wait for NoA to localize it.

Right, guys?

Hello?

 

[duckroll]

I don't import hardware. If there's no warranty on it, I'm not buying it to begin with.

 

[slaughterking]

A US 3DS is clearly the better choice.

 

[VOOK]

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

 

[electroplankton]

I really think this was meant to be release in Europe... We're still stuck with the second episode, which sold quite well and it's still selling well. There's not better way to bring the userbase to 3DS so to prepare the release of Inazuma Eleven Go.

 

[duckroll]

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

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

 

[Pikma]

Time to step up, NoA!

 

[Haunted]

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

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

 

[Bomber Bob]

nice!

 

[squall23]

Hmm, Splashgottaito (literally the biggest English-speaking IE fangirl ever) seems to think this game will somehow link with the next IEGo games.

 

[Orgen]

I don't import hardware. If there's no warranty on it, I'm not buying it to begin with.

Ok then. Your sympathy with the US users has confused me!

A US 3DS is clearly the better choice.

Nahhhhh...

 

[vareon]

Megaton.

 

[duckroll]

Ok then. Your sympathy with the US users has confused me!

The local set offered here is the US model though.

 

[Sandfox]

If this were to come out in the US, I would buy it day one.

 

[Ushojax]

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

I think the games could do quite well in America. I get why they have reservations but a release like this, given that NoE has done most of the translations already, might makes sense.

 

[Orgen]

The local set offered here is the US model though.

Apologies then for all my wrong assumptions. And now, my condolences.

J/k. This is a perfect situation for a US launch... let's hope NCL sees it like this too!

 

[Desmond]

Can I say woot Europe woot when we get this?

 

[BassForever]

I think the games could do quite well in America. I get why they have reservations but a release like this, given that NoE has done most of the translations already, might makes sense.

I wonder if NoA's policy is "wait til NoE does the translation, then just copy paste theirs to save money"

 

[hiro4]

Oh Wow.
This is great news. Make it so NoE.
Will buy even at higher price.

 

[d[-_-]b]

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

Heck yeah, football season is starting back up

 

[slaughterking]

I wonder if NoA's policy is "wait til NoE does the translation, then just copy paste theirs to save money"

That has never been their policy for anything. Xenoblade was a bit of an oddity with all the ruckus surrounding it, but I'd say it is more likely for Xseed to bring it over (if at all).

 

[Opus Angelorum]

The graphics are reformatted for widescreen as well.

Does this mean it will be stretched, or additional pixels?

 

[Haunted]

See, perfect timing for an Inazuma Eleven release.

 

[duckroll]

It's a 3D game. What do you think?

 

[Opus Angelorum]

It's a 3D game. What do you think?

Me = Silly

 

[duckroll]

Me = Silly

Level-5 isn't -that- lazy... yet.

 

[Currygan]

 

[Bumhead]

Never played one of these before but in this format I would give them a go without a seconds thought.

Please, please come to Europe.

 

[slaughterking]

See, perfect timing for an Inazuma Eleven release.

Inazuma Eleven Strikers comes out next month. :I

 

[Camisado]

I really hope that comes to Europe, it would probably be enough to tip me over into getting a 3DS at last.

 

[Shiggy]

Probably coming to Europe. Releasing Inazuma Eleven 3 on DS probably isn't that lucrative for NoE.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

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

I will fix that for you.

 

[Mpl90]

Probably coming to Europe. Releasing Inazuma Eleven 3 on DS probably isn't that lucrative for NoE.

Yeah, this is the way to bring the European fanbase on 3DS and to tie with IEGo. Can't wait.

 

[The M.O.B]

I would actually love to see more DS games get a 3DS version, especially some of the late comers and 3d ones like Inazuma 11.

Hopefully they also added some texture filtering and other basic things to smooth out of the graphics beyond expanding the aspect ratio.

 

[Ushojax]

I wonder if NoA's policy is "wait til NoE does the translation, then just copy paste theirs to save money"

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