Level 5’s Inazuma Eleven game series has shipped more than 7 million copies worldwide since kick-off in 2008. Last year the latest localised entry in the series arrived on the 3DS in Europe as a dual release part of the second trilogy.
With football steadily on the rise in the land of the Socceroos and All Whites, it’s only fitting the latest 3DS entry for PAL regions is made available in this area as well. Close to a year since the original PAL launch, Nintendo has today announced Australia and New Zealand will receive Inazuma Eleven GO: Light & Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow for the 3DS on 18th July. This release marks the first time an Inazuma Eleven title will be available on retail shelves in the region.
Starring a class of aspiring superstars ready to take the pitch and go for glory, Inazuma Eleven GO: Light & Shadow follows the tale of the young but talented individual as he starts out his football career during trying times at Raimon Junior High.
With a unique formula of RPG elements combined with football-based action, over 1000 players to recruit for the starting line-up, 100 in-game special moves to unleash along with plenty of exclusives across each game version and additional extras such as StreetPass, this is football at its finest. For a deeper analysis, read our review from last year.
For those of you in Australia and New Zealand, let us know in the comments if you’re excited about Inazuma Eleven GO: Light and Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow and tell us which side you’ll be supporting on release.

Why... have I never heard of this?!? That trailer made me want it...
Edit
Ok... I see, was never released in North America...This is why I hate region locking but they'd have to change it to Soccer because we'll have too many people wondering why this isn't "Football"
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO THE BEAUTIFUL GAME!!!!!!!!!!!???????
Might try to get into this series actually, I seem to lack a football/RPG/anime genre in my game collection.
Anyone played any of them?
wait a minute! what about the original trilogy in Australia and New Zealand? did they forgot to release the original trilogy in Australia and New Zealand first?
@TheMONADO36 Any? I played all of them >o>;;;
An amazing serie, it's definitly fun with a catchy gameplay and a ridiculus soccer-focused story; it's not perfect to be fair, but I spent hundreads of hours having fun with it before the flaws managed to annoy me, so I can only recomand it a lot XD
@DEAD I was wondering the same... If GO is the first title getting there, then they are doing a mess, especially since the GO serie is heavily influenced by the original trilogy, with ton of references and key story elements related to it >.>;
I guess we should remember this serie as an example of how to NOT export a game Worldwide, I really hope Level 5 will do a much better job with Yokai Watch...
also i am waiting for you Nintendo life to do a IE GO 2 Chrono stone review!
Australia and New Zealand!
get this game! it is very awesome and the story is very well written!
@BakaKnight i know. It is a stupid idea to release IE GO first and not bothered with the original trilogy.
@TheMONADO36 i played IE 3(team ogre attack) and IE GO(both version)
@ikki5 the american might get IE GO light/shadow in 2017(that's just a guess)
man, I wish nintendo would make the original Nintendo World Cup soccer game available in the virtual console store here in Europe. I heard it is available in the US. This game reminded me of the good old days
Wish Level-5 would release the original trilogy on 3DS in NA already, many fans and myself have been waiting too long :/
Very tempting, I will if I can find it at a good price. But I will probably still be playing Splatoon.
Meanwhile, in North America, we still only have Inazuma Eleven 1 :/
Meanwhile in America...
@ikki5 have you tried this version https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/3ds-eshop/inazuma_eleven it released a couple years ago on 3ds and is very well done. If you get a chance I highly recommend it.
@Windy
inazuma eleven on the 3ds was released last year in america and most of europe
