When Will Europe See Pandoras Tower And Inazuma Eleven 2?

Nintendo of Europe have confirmed that they will indeed be publishing Level 5′s Inazuma Eleven 2 in Europe, and they’re bringing both versions of the game over. NOE’s release schedule for next year lists Inazuma Eleven 2: Firestorm and Blizzard as Q1 2012 titles.

 

Another Level 5 game, Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle (tentatively titled Professor Layton 5), will be published by Nintendo of Europe for the 3DS as well. This is just listed for 2012, with no specific timeframe mentioned. Also on the list is Pandora’s Tower for the Wii. This will be released sometime during Q2, putting it anywhere in the April – June period.

 

Finally, NOE also list a new Nintendo game for the eShop, SpeedThru: Potzol’s Puzzle, that wasn’t on Nintendo of America’s release schedule. However, Kirby’s Block Ball is missing from the European schedule (that doesn’t mean it isn’t coming over).

          Oh, wow. What’s your Friend Code? I’ll join one of your races if I ever happen to catch you online. Although, I’m pretty sure I’m setting myself up for a beating here…

          I was thinking maybe we could set up a community race day sometime closer to Christmas, too…

        I’d be number one but I don’t have a 3DS or Mario Kart 7.  If Nintendo never announced that analog attachment I’d have both as of right now. 

        What?  I’m a glass half full kind of guy.

        • aoihana

          As long as I’m breathing, you’ll have quite the trouble getting to number one, let alone taking my spot! (◕‿◕✿)

    I really dont care for inazuma if they dont hve the japanese names.

    • puchinri

      This. Sometimes, some name changes are okay (I always like the original names kept, no matter what), but for Inazuma Eleven especially, they just have to have them.

      • http://twitter.com/Xander_VJ David García Abril

        They don’t have much of a choice.

        The anime arrived first, and they changed the names basically because of “Captain Tsubasa”, which was a massive hit in Europe (it basically made anime and manga popular in the old continent, along with “Dragon Ball”) and did the same thing back in the day.

        In any case, keep in mind that Level 5 green-lighted the name changes… and now they can’t go back on their decision.

        Specially since the franchise is doing so well in Europe. The irony is that it has, indeed, become the new “Captain Tsubasa”.

        • puchinri

          Which is understandable. 

          I just hope that if and when it’s localized in the NA, we get the original names. (They’re part of the charm to me and it’s easy to be very familiar with them already.)

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Naito-Midna/100000029806268 Naito Midna

            It’s possible. The anime came to latin america, so IF Level-5 or NoA are going to localize the games, maybe they’ll keep the original names.

            Or at least if they launch them with the latin dub down here. I’m playing a patched version of the first game that let’s me see the original names.

            I kind of have hope with Level-5 to hear the american fans pleas about bringing the I11 games, and with the original names. Since in Latin america we got the anime with the original names and neither the games or the anime had arrived to U.S, there’s a little hope the american version could be different from the PAL.

            BTW, the PAL versions of the anime and games sucks. The names are awfull, even more the dub. Dear god, what they did to Kazemaru…

          • puchinri

            Oh, you guys are lucky! That would be great.

            That sounds cool too. Is it one of the only patches? Hard to find?

            I have a bit of hope too~. And I hope they’ll make it so.

            Haha! The names were just so generic and unfitting to me. I mean, it got the general sound and stuff, but I just didn’t care for them. At. All. 

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Naito-Midna/100000029806268 Naito Midna

            @puchinri:disqus Captain Tsubasa was (and is) pretty popular around here, so maybe they brought like an spiritual suscesor. Good thing they kept the names, but they changed Endou’s name for “Satoru”, since in México de “Mamo” part might sound… offensive (it means BJ).
            It’s only one patch. Google is your friend in these cases, just type “Inazuma Eleven patch” and I’ll be the first or second link that pops out. It’s damn amazing, it lets you see the japanese OP with subs, the cutscenes are subbed and no edited like in the PAL version; the only minor  detail is that the teams have the PAL names, but you can bypass that. Anyway, I want an american release like my patched game.

            Hino-shachoo is a clever man, and with Inazuma Eleven I can see he at least hears the fans, or knows the fandom. Hell, in an B’sLog magazine interview he stated he was considering making a DATE SIM for Inazuma Eleven, nuff said.

            Yeah, they tried to make them sound like the japanese ones ones, but… It only made them sound plain weird or bad name and surname combinations. I don’t have problems with british accent, my problem is that those VA WERE BAD. “Mark” sounds so emotionless, of all people. 

            And don’t make me start with “Nathan”.

    Nintendo of America comes baring Mario Party 9 and Poképark 2, Nintendo of Europe comes baring Pandora’s Tower and Professor Layton.

    Feels good to live over here at last.

      High five America…Oh wait :D

    Excellent! I had doubts if they would publish the next Inazuma Eleven games but now I am happy! Getting the Blizzard version.
    Can’t wait for The Last Story and Pandora’s Tower as well!

    • Joanna

      Yeah I want Blizzard version too (because I have a winter birthday xD )
      Still need to pick up the first game, I really need to get on that. ^^;;;

    Now they just need to localize IE 3:Spark,Bomber and Ogre and then my life will be completed…

    I’ll take those PAL games as goodbye presents for both Wii and DS.

    The real question is when NA will see Pandora’s Tower and Inuzama 2.

    …Actually, scratch that. Replace “when” with “if” -__-

    • CrazyKnives

      Replace that ‘if’ with ‘never’ even though that wouldn’t make sense in your sentence but that’s ok.

    • puchinri

      I think Pandora’s Tower is relatively likely, though whether it’ll come before or after Xenoblade and how soon is the question.

      With Inazuma Eleven, I’d rather see Level-5 localize it themselves (and keep the Japanese names, or at least dual audio).

    Damn unapproved comments…again~

    Can’t wait for Inazuma Eleven 2, I’m happy for Pandora’s Tower as well, but really IE2 just made my day~! <3

    My body is read. I like it that they’re actually releasing this (Pandora’s Tower) in Q2 since I have way too many games to get in Q1 already :x

    Yes, IE2! Could care less on Pandora’s Tower, to be truthful.

    So what if IE2′s plot is god awful, the games themselves are awesome. I hope IE3 follows suit next year, and then GO, and then, maybe, just maybe, we’ll get GO in the US…
