Inazuma 11 2 is the highlight of new DS release schedule

Two football RPGs out on the same day. Is Inazuma 11 the new Pokemon?

Inazuma 11 2 will be released in the UK on March 16th. That's the big news from the latest Nintendo DS release schedule.

There are two Inazuma 11 2 games out on the same day - Inazuma 11 2: Firestorm and Inazuma 11 2 Blizzard.

Inazuma 11 2 begins a week after the events of Inazuma 11. The Raimon Eleven begin a training session when their school is attacked by invaders from outer space from the mysterious Alius Academy.

They plan to use a destructive brand of football to totally destroy the world and the only way they can be stopped is if the Raimon Eleven beat them in a football match.

So you have to travel across Japan and recruit the country's best football players to stop Alius Academy and save the world.

Once again, Inazuma Eleven 2 allows you to control the action with the stylus. You tap and slide your stylus across the screen to change the direction of your players, take a shot or press your opponent's team.

Both versions of the game have the same overarching storyline but there are some differences. Each version features over 150 unique characters, unique teams to play against, as well as unique abilities and special moves. You can trade with friends if you want characters from the other version.

There's also a multiplayer mode for up to four players with a Teamshare mode enabling you to trade teams with other players and battle their teams.

    I'll admit, I have a certain dislike of football, that said, throw in a level up system, a story and moves that would potentially kill a guy and my dislike is lost. Inazuma Eleven was a great RPG, and I'm looking forward to Inazuma Eleven 2. :D

    Is it definitely coming out in the UK on that date? With the first Inazuma Eleven, the rest of Europe got the game about five months before the UK did...

    Hooray! Wasn't hopeful of Cave Story heading to our DSiWare due to the release of Cave Story 3D but now I can get Cave Story much cheaper in march! :)
