EnjoyUp Games is a prolific download game developer on Nintendo hardware, and is revisiting one of its releases for an online update on 3DS — Football Up Online will arrive as a successor to Soccer Up 3D / Football Up 3D on the eShop.
In terms of features, much seems to remain unchanged from the previous title, with the main addition being online matches; these will be a 1 vs 1 affair. That'll no doubt add to the fun somewhat, though we also hope that adjustments and improvements will have been made to the gameplay, of which we were fairly critical when awarding Soccer Up 3D 4/10 in our review.
The developer has told us that, at present, a release is only confirmed for Europe. It'll hit the region on 6th November, while there'll be a 75% discount on its price — which we imagine will be similar to the last entry — for those that own Football Up 3D on the same 3DS. In that respect it could be treated as an upgrade by fans of the original.
We'll see how this updated entry performs soon, then. Are you planning to have a shot at this one?

Uggh, and here I thought it was American Football. Somebody needs to change the name of their sport!
It's a pity this likely wont be up to much.I would love to see an indie make a proper attempt at bringing a Super Kick Off or Sensible Soccer style game with online play to the Eshop.I'm sure if done right a Kickstarter would be successful.
@Spoony_Tech Yep,you do.American Hand Egg is more appropriate.
@OorWullie Or better, Egg Ball.
Interesting.....
Day one for me, if they fixed the glitches. Any chance of a Wii U release, EnjoyUp Games? Wii U desperately needs a football game with online, please!
Even though it's on a Nintendo system, I'm still not interested.
Football games bore me to death, I own Fifa 10 on Wii, it was on really cheap and my mom thought I would like it, and Fifa 11 on PSP, came bundled, and they feel the EXACT same...
Best football game ever on ANY system (and I played them all, since Int.Soccer on C64), IMO, is PES on the Wii, playmaker style is perfect if you're both a football fan and a RTS fan.
Like with any sport game, though, the most fun (and the real challenge) is online.
We need a light hearted fun and qwerty football game for Nintendo consoles and this is not it.
@andrea987 - Don't forget sensible soccer.... As much as it pains me to say. FIFA 15 is pretty dam good this year on my Xbox One.
@Azooooz - Egg Ball most definitely wins. I've called it that for years.
@WYLD-WOO Sensible soccer was YEARS after International Soccer. Me and my mates much preferred the Kick Off series, though. Kick Off 2 on Amiga was sensational, we did so many tournaments... Still, PES on Wii, thanks to the pointer, is on another level, that no 'graphic realism' or 'improved physics' can match, I'm afraid.
@Captain_Gonru Agreed, I'd like a good baseball game, too.
I really like the game, especially the shooting system. I wonder whether you'll be able to use a team of Miis online...
