I thought all the DS games were region locked??

Nope, only DSi and 3DS. 55 percent of my DS library is made up of import games.

Excellent! Thanks for the good 'news'

Keep an eye on the official thread. I'll try to update the OP with good import alternatives for Americans.

And here's the much-anticipated page on the Nintendo UK site that was sorely missed last year.

Inazuma Eleven has already been turned into a popular manga series that has been broadcast on TV in Asia and parts of Europe, but from Monday 25th July the series will premiere in the UK on Disney XD at 8.30am.

That's not a great time slot. What kid watches TV at that time during the week.

Well, in theory, the Summer holidays are just starting .

I was wondering why this was on Disney XD the other day. (I was wondering more why Avengers was only being shown at half 10 at night though >_> )

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Heh, if I'd known there was a solid date back a the start of the year it would have saved me the hassle of ordering from Games Basement. Great game though, well worth picking up.

Well it's repeated at 9pm according to the TV Guide.

 

[dallow_bg]

Great news as the game shouldn't have ever been so hard to find and no way NoA will bring it over.

I already have an English import myself and I hope the rumor about IE 2 coming is true.

The dub is awful (and I don't mean that as a "lol all dubs are bad" way, I mean the acting is stiffer than the box the game comes in), so they're probably hoping the kids are still half asleep or something.

The morning time might not be so bad thinking about it. If it catchs kids while they're getting ready for school. I remember enjoying crappy anime while I was eating my breakfast.

So many people have Sky+ type services along with on-demand/catch-up services these days that it isn't really an issue, not for a show like this. I don't think many kids will have time to watch a cartoon at half 8 when school starts at 9.

True. I couldn't remember if schools started at 9 or 9:30, which I guess is pretty dumb of me since I see school kids walking to school when I leave to get somewhere by 9.

ohhh you mean half past 10

right right

 

[Xater]

I was answering the guy who asked for a brief summary earlier in the thread, here.

Ha! Didn't even notice.

Anyway, UK DS owners should definitely pick this up. It doesn't even matter if you are into football. Storyline is fun over the stop sport anime mixed with very neat battle mechanics you have not seen before.

 

[MidnightScott]

Although I'm interested in Level 5's games, I just don't see myself importing this at the moment. So it seems people were correct that they were waiting for the anime to begin airing in the UK before they released the game. That way they can use it as a marketing tool.

But maybe if people can show me some good gameplay videos, I might change my mind.

Nintendo of Europe is awesome at bringing niche games and stuff over. I just ordered Xenoblade Chronicles last night.

 

[tim.mbp]

Now it should be pretty easy for US folks to import the game.

I think I will do just that.

 

[near]

Is the TV series also coming? Otherwise this late release doesn't make any sense...
But well, let's see whether UK will also get Inazuma Eleven 2 later than the rest of Europe.

It's already started airing here on Disney XD.

Edit: beaten.

 

[Sadist]

Yeah, kinda surprised about the series. It just started.

I was like what

The game released like five months ago here in Holland

 

[RurouniZel]

It's only DSi games that aren't region free. All DSs can play any DS games from any region as long as it isn't classified as a DSi-enhanced game which it isn't in this game's case because the DSi wasn't even out yet when this game was made.

Sorry, I wasn't really talking about the DS, more like I was taking a stab at the 3DS NOT being region free. >>
