In the pursuit of such glory, you will be able to create a formidable and unique line-up, with Inazuma Eleven 3 containing over 2000 characters to encounter and recruit. Only by creating the strongest and most balanced team will you experience success, especially when there are also over 350 in-game special moves to consider, which have the potential to dramatically alter the course of a match. In terms of the storyline, both Inazuma Eleven 3: Lightning Bolt and Inazuma Eleven 3: Bomb Blast adopt the point of view of a different character, each version having different powerful rivals to take on.

Bringing back the unique formula of RPG elements combined with football-based action, this time around you can get further immersed in the action with the series making its debut in 3D, making the special moves and “battle scenes” even more intense. New features in action on the pitch include the ability to roll out special tactical team plays which involve the whole team, as well as a goal shoot chaining system where you can string together special moves from different team mates to launch powerful attacks on goal.

Off the pitch, to hunt down the best of the best, a new method for scouting players via a capsule vending machine is to be introduced, giving you new tools to find the perfect players for your line-up! Away from the game meanwhile, and to celebrate some of the players starring in the Inazuma series, a set of Inazuma figurines will be made available for fans in the lead-up to launch.
