The Inazuma Eleven series takes a relatively simple game, football — or Soccer to our North American friends — and surrounds it with world-saving antics and outrageous special moves. It's a bit like football from the perspective of a hyper-active six year old, which happens to make it a lot of fun.
Europe is slowly catching up with the backlog of DS and Wii titles — sadly North America is missing out so far — though gamers without a Japanese 3DS may find it painful to learn that the second 3D entry in the series is already on the way. Inazuma Eleven GO 2: Chrono Stone is due for release in Japan later this year, and as the title suggests it's the second release in the GO spin-off of the original DS series. Like previous entries it seems to be all about saving football from sporting oblivion, while coming up with increasingly over-the-top special moves along the way.
We're likely to have a long wait before this arrives outside of Japan, but the trailer below shows off the time travelling football antics and is worth a watch. It also has a return of Wonderbat the talking teddy bear, who drives the team bus.

I am quite enjoying the original anime series, up to season 3 so far. I think I will be indeed grabbing the original DS games. Not so sure about this one, but looking forward the Wii release in September.
Wow, an anime where all the female characters are flat-chested or close to it. That's weird.
Holy crud, that second song.
A coach that time travels through rainbow portals that's driven by a teddy bear, this series seems to be getting more insane with each installment. The special moves seem to be getting more over the top with each installment too.
and of course america isn't getting this localized because we only like american football, baseball, and basketball.
And we still haven't gotten the first game or anime series.
