Six minutes of sort-of uninterrupted Inazuma Eleven


Inazuma Eleven has half of the formula down for making a successful soccer game in Japan: it's got Eleven in the title. To replace the Winning part, another clever tactic was used: being made by Level-5. Sales are guaranteed! Or at least assumed!

This video provides the first real look at how the game operates. Unfortunately, the shots of gameplay are constantly intercut with footage of the players mugging as they enjoy the game. It's not quite enough misdirection to keep us from seeing how to play the game: passing and movement down the field is done in real-time, with players directed by stylus-drawn lines. Actions, including shooting and the over-the-top anime-style special moves are accessed via an RPG-style menu that opens up and pauses the game. It doesn't seem to hurt these two guys' painful enthusiasm.
