A TIME-SHIFTING ADVENTURE AWAITS IN INAZUMA ELEVEN GO CHRONO STONES: WILDFIRE AND INAZUMA ELEVEN GO CHRONO STONES: THUNDERFLASH - LAUNCHING 27th MARCH ON NINTENDO 3DS
Print this page
Call upon fearsome Fighting Spirits for armour and merge players’ auras by ‘Miximaxing’ them to create the ultimate eleven and save football from extinction, in these new Inazuma Eleven series instalments!

Arion Sherwind and his famous footballing team mates are back in a new adventure, but all is not as it should be at Raimon Junior High. Arion finds himself in a world devoid of football and must unravel its mysterious disappearance and restore its place in the world. Travel through time and create the ultimate eleven to bring football back in Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Wildfire and Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Thunderflash, launching for Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems, in stores and on Nintendo eShop, on 27th March.

The story kicks off with Arion Sherwind shocked to discover that the legendary football exploits of Raimon Junior High are suddenly unknown. Where mighty football stadiums once stood, now lie baseball fields. Kids who once kicked a ball in the street now instead busy themselves with basketball, gymnastics, music and calligraphy. In a parallel world where football has ceased to exist, Arion must discover what has happened to the ‘beautiful game’, tackle the shadowy intentions of El Dorado - the World’s governing council - and face off against time-bending villains in order to restore football to the world.

Exciting new gameplay innovations make their debut in Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Wildfire and Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Thunderflash. Seen for the first time in an Inazuma series title is the new Miximax feature, where one player can merge their aura with that of another player to become even more powerful. Miximaxing unlocks the potential for countless combinations of player skills and stat-boosts and, when coupled with the new wearable armourfied Fighting Spirits, Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Wildfire and Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Thunderflash offer the most comprehensive team-building possibilities yet seen in the series.

The Fighting Spirit system – where players can summon powerful entities that unleash special moves and greatly increase player stats to aid them during matches - returns and is better than ever, now that players are able to ‘armourfy’ Fighting Spirits. The armourfied Fighting Spirit surrounds the player’s body like a suit of armour and, while armourfied, all of the character’s abilities are greatly improved, and special moves become even more powerful.

The Inazuma series’ hallmark of providing exclusive content unique to each version returns, including different story events, characters, items and in-game cinematics exclusive to each title. As with previous instalments it is again possible for up to four people to play matches together over local wireless and, last but not least, from launch more characters and items will be available for download, enabling players to create an even stronger team.

Featuring a time-travelling storyline and innovative additions to the winning formula of role-playing game and football-based action, Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Wildfire and Inazuma Eleven GO Chrono Stones: Thunderflash both launch for Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS systems on 27th March.

And here I was wondering the other day where the next Inazuma Elven Go games had gone...

 

[Oregano]

Those are lot of words.

 

[tolkir]

Saint Seiya Football.

 

[ShogunDarius]

that just leaves Inazuma Eleven GO 3: Galaxy then

 

[Mpl90]

Not June, like last year? Mmh, I wonder what's going to be the June's game, then.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Not June, like last year? Mmh, I wonder what's going to be the June's game, then.

last year we had a game in Jan too

 

[Mpl90]

last year we had a game in Jan too

It was the Ogre version of IE3, not the brand new episode, like in this case.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Not June, like last year? Mmh, I wonder what's going to be the June's game, then.

We had the world Cup last year, probably the reason why they asked for June.

Cool, will consider it if the VA is improved.

 

[Aostia]

Saint Seiya Football.

Yes!
my digital Inazuma collection will continue to grow!

 

[L~A]

Not June, like last year? Mmh, I wonder what's going to be the June's game, then.

There probably won't be a June game this year, no World Cup to latch onto

My guess is IEGO3 will come out in September... maybe. Then who knows what happen. Like, will Level-5 eventually release the 3DS version of IE2 and 3? What about the Wii games... DL release via eShop now that Wii games can have a digital version on Wii U ?

 

[Kouriozan]

Yosh, only Galaxy left, I expect it mid-2016 then. Seems like each release takes 1 year and 2/3 months
Good news

 

[vareon]

The anime is crap, but it has Kinako.

 

[foobarry81]

I seriously can't keep up with all these IE games.

Still need to get GO Light and Go Shadow...

Nintendo needs to make room for YW and LBX

Or for DQVII.

[m0t0k1]

I guess it follows then anime, then?

Yeah the Anime is actually based on the games. At least in Japan. But level 5 likes to do it as a multimedia franchise just like how they are doing Yokai Watch. The first game released in august 2008 and the anime followed in October 2008. But in essence its the same story.

I still havent played the first go game. But i will get it soon so i can play this game as soon as it releases. Love me some Inazuma games.

 

[Orgen]

Where's my Inazuma Eleven Trilogy Level 5/Nintendo? I'm not going to buy any Inazuma until it releases here :|

 

[L~A]

They already released the 1st game separately on the eShop, so I'm afraid you're going to keep on waiting for a while.

Ah, no, I mean: do the game releses follow the anime (aka. new season starts when a new games comes out)? Might explain the release pattern.

they might want to get the last game out fast, as otherwise inazuma will be competing directly with yokai watch

 

[squall23]

The anime is crap, but it has Kinako.

DAT TWIST

Literally the only thing good about this arc and this game in general.

Zanark's kind of cool though I guess.

 

[Tizoc]

EVERY TIMe I think of buying IE, they announce a new one lol.

 

[Orgen]

Here in Spain (one of the big markets for Inazuma) you can buy Inazuma 1, 2 & 3 for 15€ each (physically) so I'm hoping for a trilogy release this year (along Terranigma ong the VC yeahhhhh hahaha)

 

[squall23]

EVERY TIMe I think of buying IE, they announce a new one lol.

You can skip GO if you choose. If you really truly want to play IE, the original trilogy is a must. Or at the very least IE2 and 3.

 

[Khaz]

Weren't the Inazuma Eleven games published everywhere in Europe except for Britain on the eShop?

Oh yeah it was:
http://www.gonintendo.com/s/224440-3ds-eshop-version-of-inazuma-eleven-not-heading-to-uk-regions
They say it's about quality voice acting, I say it's about exclusivity contracts for the voice actors.
Thankfully you can just use another European country's eShop. Oh wait you can't with a NNID. My bad.

I made a thread about that and iirc it was still believed the eu ds version was superior

That sounds good, weren't the trilogy released as acompilation?

 

[ShogunDarius]

for the EU separately

1 oon DS

2 versions of 2 (like how pokemon does it) on DS

2 versions of 3 upgraded to 3DS

 

[scamander]

Don't know if the third version of the third game was only released in certain countries, but in Germany we got it.

I actually know the answer to this, the only place to get that in the UK was nintendos own store

 

[stalker]

Is this IE GO 2 or something else such as an ehancement of IE GO 1?

I stopped at IE 3 Ogre and I am not sure how the GO series works. Is it safe to buy IE GO Light / Shadow and one of this new announced or are there thrird versions of any (like IE 3 Ogre)?

This is Inazuma Eleven GO 2 ("Chrono Stones"). IE GO 3 is "Galaxy"

 

[squall23]

That sounds good, weren't the trilogy released as acompilation?

Unfortunately, the compilation is not in English. Because the trilogy is actually 6 games, no way Nintendo and Level 5 would have just sold that 1 cartridge in Europe (or the rest of the world for that matter).

IEGO2 is when Hino just goes off the deep end. He literally throws as many things at a wall and sees if it sticks. There is so much crap and unnecessary baggage for no good reason, and this comes after the fact a game was released about football against aliens!

And no, none of the IEGOs have 3rd versions so you're safe if you really just want to buy and play without regret later.

 

[Cormano]

Any idea if this is coming to North America?

 

[L~A]

Any idea if this is coming to North America?

I really doubt it. NA didn't get any of the IE games, except the 3DS version of the first one, on the eShop.

 

[casiopao]

T_T Need some love for this franchise for us on Asia region here.T_T

 

[L~A]

First EN screenshots: click here!

Edit: apparently, Minus don't like bmp embeds. Well f*ck 'em, I say

 

[sd28821]

hopefully these games have less unnecessary name changes and random thls character form another country complete with accent and catch phrase to really hammer home there country of origin.

either way i ready to play the second best games in the series.

 

[Pachimari]

I can't seem to figure out which is number 1, 2, 3 etc. in the series. Wikipedia I go.

I'm probably gonna snatch up this one.

What? But there's nothing confusing, really

Inazuma Eleven 1
Inazuma Eleven 2
Inazuma Eleven 3

Inazuma Eleven Go
Inazuma Eleven Go 2
Inazuma Eleven Go 3

There's also a compilation with all 3 Nintendo DS games on 3DS. The first game of that compilation was made available on the eShop.

There's also several Wii games, which are spin-offs.

And that's it. For the main series, there's nothing really confusing.

 

[Lyngstud]

Since the game doesn't have an OT, I suppose this is the only place to post this question:

Where can I find the passwords for the game? Most importantly the passwords for the Layton characters. I need them more than oxygen, but the internet seems to know only what to type in if you're playing the Japanese version of the game. Please help me if you can, as I'm sweating to find out.
