Rejoice! Nintendo are to bring Level-5's role-playing football game to Europe early next year!

While it was hinted at many months ago, it seems Nintendo is finally ready to distribute Level-5's Inazuma Eleven in Europe.

Inazuma Eleven has become one of the fastest-growing new IPs in Japan in recent years, combining tactical role-playing and football genres into one unique package. While it looked doubtful that the ambitious concept would make it out of its homeland, Nintendo of Europe has officially registered the game, at least on its Swedish website, and confirmed a release date for January 28th.

Inazuma Eleven has two DS sequels, and currently in production one Wii version.
