Level-5 announces plans for football-RPG

chautemoc | May 26, 2008 | News | Wii DS 
Inazuma Eleven is the upcoming DS title, a football (soccer to those in the US) game fused with RPG elements. Sort of like Super Dodgeball Brawlers or Mario Tennis: Power Tour, it seems as bizarre as it does promising, especially with the developer being the ones behind a couple Dragon Quest and Dark Cloud titles.

Aside from this, the company announced Inazuma Eleven Break!, a planned title for an as of yet unannounced console, marking the first time Level-5 has published their own console title, someone they plan on venturing into full-time by the end of the year. There are plans for an anime and trading card game with the series as well.
All these cross media plans concern Japan only at the moment, as Inazuma Eleven has currently not been announced for release outside of Level-5's home territory. However, given the apparent success of Layton in overseas markets, don't be surprised if you hear more on the franchise in the future.

    "football (soccer to those in the UK)" Wrong way round mate

    This sounds a bit weird but Level 5 is a pretty good developer so it could be good if they get it right.

      EDIT: Sorry I misread your post.

          I'm close to thumbing you down for calling it soccer.

      If its anything like Power Tour, which it seems to be, it'll kick ass. Now I want a football RPG though.
