Inazuma Eleven is a Miracle

Inazuma Eleven Victory Road was almost canceled. This game has seen more delays than any other video game I remember. And so, from going through some troubled development to today's success, I thought this was a story worth telling.

Quick note, Hino did write multiple blog posts and is still writing them to this day, in fact most announcements are followed by a blog. In 2022, when they rebranded the game as Victory Road they deleted all of the old blogs from 2019-2021.

[@MohammadAli-fu3bb]

One of my favourite franchises, people don't know about the ds games especially galaxy which we never got in English, brought a whole different console just to play that as a kid, so looking forward to this

seeing as his first inazuma eleven video went really well, i'm glad globku is doing more content on it.

The develop blog still is uptaded to this day, A lot of info over the years was anounced there, like crossplay and crosssave, upcoming trailers, etc. Good recap Globku, its nice seeing Inazuma being cover here 🥰

[@Fran_5]

There is one more thing that one should know here. Inazuma Eleven was already struggling globally because GO3 Galaxy never got localized and the online support of GO2 Chrono Stones got dropped 4 characters away from finishing.

[@EnerKaizer]

it got localized, but a gigantic legal issue stopped level 5 from releasing the game. Not a joke.

Lets not forget the anime was quite bad with Ares/ Orion. Didnt help. Galaxy itself wasnt liked since majority of the players were new and felt like they were forced on us. The only one who didnt feel like he was forced on us was Zanark ancestor because that guy actually was trained by Endou and he is actually able to play properly compared to most of the other members

[@crimsonsonic2]

They actually only dropped the "Of Heroes" title in some languages such as English. If you look at the Japanese name is still has the "Of Heroes" subtitle. Also Chronicle mode, the map with all the different things you can select, is actually going to be a way to battle teams from the entire series' history to unlock the characters since EVERY character is available. All 4500 of them.

I'm marvelling at the popularity a series I've loved since the og games is getting. After Galaxy's English problems, trust me, we're used to delays

To be fair inazuma eleven is level-5 biggest franchise. So i am not surprised that the beta is foing this well

and it's only on the Switch right now: there's gonna be betas for PS4/PS5 and Steam later.

I have been an inazuma fan since when it still came out on tv, And finally seeing this game and playing it is just so amazing. I cannot wait for the full release. It's gonna be so awesome.

I can barely even wait myself, but I know the full game will be AWESOME.

If you have a 3ds i would recommend you try any of the inazuma eleven games as they have amazing stories, characters and special moves. Despite being on handheld consoles they are fantastic and you'll forget your playing on a 3ds

[@victorsanz8874]

I have been following this game since the very beginning back in 2017, it's been hard to keep the hopes of it actually being released, too many delays but, the only thing I truly wanted is that they do not completely cancel. I'm a huge fan of Inazuma Eleven, always have been since I was a child and played the first game on Nintendo DS, and now I woudn't bother if they actually decided to delay it a bit more, as long as they end up releasing a good game that's not actually broken like every game that is being released nowadays. Because after all these years we Inazuma fans know they are developing this game with love and wanting to give the fans that have been supporting them a game worth playing. P.S: The development blog has been active this whole time, they publish all the news and updates on gameplay and story there, which, yeah, can be 1 blog post a year 😅

[@NaoThings]

wow, i though i started Nikke on my phone but its just the intro music on the intro of the Video hahaha, now on the video, im super hype that they made it work, looks fun with all the mechanics and characters, hopefully the story goes hard and the netcode aint that troublesome, big W for the anime community

[@joopvanhedel1372]

There's a big update on the way that improves a lot of things from the base game beta. And they bring a New character to the beta, a girl named beta. Of course because of the name, but also because she is one of the fans' favorite villains

[@bujinturtle2921]

Excited it's finally out! Will be nice to see if they add more characters eventually since there's a lot of fan favourites that would make good dlc. Hopefully it also means they might have the resources free to finally plan something for Danball Senki after the proper release since it was mentioned they're looking to see if people are still interested in that IP too. I think it could be really cool as a mecha fighting game with a polished up version of existing gameplay made to capitalize on that. There's Megaton Musashi but... us Danball fans are desperate

[@realfromtherealreality4148]

It's fire that the community is eating good. Although I don't know much English speakers who are big Inazuma nerds. (To the point of actually creating channels that revolve only around it.) While in France and Spain it's much easier to find. (Like Nioum who is specialized in insane challenges, or Rem's who recently made the beta of a hardcore romhack.) So I guess the situation is even wilder to the people who aren't from countries where Inazuma Eleven became a "religion".

[@miatx6818]

Fun fact is that the anime studio of Inazuma Eleven called OLM studios actually has quite some popular animes in the tv world Especially in Disney XD. Those are Inazuma Eleven ofc, Beyblade Burst, Yokai Watch and last and even the most popular of all POKEMON AND THE POKEMON MOVIES

[@Loner098]

Here is the watch order for the Inazuma Eleven anime if you are interested: Inazuma Eleven (Episodes 1 - 127, which is pretty much the combination of the first three seasons of the OG series put together) Inazuma Eleven: Team Ogre Attacks Movie (takes place during Season 1, but doesn't really feel too canon to be necessary, so you can skip it) Inazuma Eleven GO (Episodes 1 - 32) Inazuma Eleven GO: Ultimate Bonds Gryphon Movie (this takes place after the first 32 episodes of GO 1 and will be important for later) Inazuma Eleven GO (Episodes 32 - 47). The last two episodes are major filler, so they can be safely skipped) Inazuma Eleven GO: Chrono Stone (Episodes 1 - 51) Inazuma Eleven GO: Little Battlers Experience (LBX)/Danball Senki Movie (most likely takes place after Episode 33, but is not canon to the story and can be safely skipped (recommended to avoid it if you are not familiar with the Danball Senki series)) Inazuma Eleven GO: Galaxy (Episodes 1 - 43) Inazuma Eleven: Reloaded (takes place after the events of season 1 but in an alternate timeline/universe/story where the events of season 2 never occurred) Inazuma Eleven: Outer Code (Short Episodes 1 - 6, takes place after Reloaded) Inazuma Eleven: Ares (Episodes 1 - 26, takes place after Outer Code) Inazuma Eleven: Orion (Episodes 1 - 49)
