Deal Alert: ‘Inazuma Eleven’ Is Dirt Cheap On The Nintendo eShop!

The World Cup might be exciting, but can your favorite player summon a dragon with the force of his kick?

To celebrate the start of summer alongside all of the World Cup festivities, Nintendo has cut the price of Inazuma Eleven in half, pricing it at a mere ten dollars! Featuring a group of kids as they work towards becoming the greatest high school soccer team in Japan, this sports/RPG hybrid is one that a fan of either genre should definitely look into.

Developed by Level 5, (the talented folks behind such classics as Dark Could, Professor Layton and Ni No Kuni), Inazuma Eleven is the first of a long running franchise that debuted on the Nintendo DS in 2007. Since then, the game has become a monster, spanning sequels and spinoffs across the DS and Wii, multiple movies and two anime series… only they were only released in Japan and Europe. The 3DS release of the first game back in February was the first time us Westerners have had a chance to play it, and if our review is any indication, (which it is), then this is a no brainer purchase, especially at such a low price.

So go ahead and pick up one of those Target exclusive 3DS AR points cards for ten bucks and throw those points at Inazuma Eleven. The sale is valid until July 16 (when it’ll jump back to $19.99), so you won’t have long to take advantage of this awesome deal!
