VG247: ''Inazuma Eleven 3: Lightning Bolt and Inazuma Eleven 3: Bomb Blast will release on 3DS in September.''
Michibiku's Graham Russell and Jenni Lada play Inazuma Eleven 3.
At long last, the third entry in Level-5's engaging football role-playing game series slide tackles its way to Europe. Three years after its original Nintendo DS release in Japan, Inazuma Eleven 3 has sensibly been updated for the Nintendo 3DS on these shores - a wise decision that may have meant it not gaining the attention it deserves if left as a DS title. Once again a dual release in the form of Lightning Bolt and Bomb Blast, does Inazuma Eleven 3 keep up the high consistency the series has set itself, or slice its shot wide?
Originally released in 2010, the 3DS re-release of the original DS title unfortunately hasn’t seen too much of an update – visually, nothing has changed, and the soundtrack is still locked in the DS’ MIDI purgatory. Lightning Bolt is an incredibly colourful game, and its target audience is clear – this is a title aimed at children who are into their football.
