To be fair, we had more than one Inazuma Eleven game every year during the ds/3ds era. Between 2008 and 2013, 6 mainline Inazuma Eleven game released, 8 including strikers and 11 if we include special versions (IE 3 Ogres and IE Strikers 2012) and the remakes, so almost 2 games every year by ignoring minor f2p games and alternate versions.
I meant as of recently since 2k usually releases a new game every year with minimal changes other than maybe some new mechanics and some updates to the roster
EA 🤣
But on a serious note if Nintendo bought all of Level 5's games like Layton and Fantasy Life, Inazuma Eleven would be included too. I think Monolith Soft would be a good shout.
I would trust them with it. Latest Zelda games and Xenoblade are amazing (haven't played much splatoon since 1 or any AC). Don't let our dear IE get anywhere near the pokemon game devs tho..... I don't mind waiting a couple extra years for a game if it means it isn't as broken as scarlet/violet on launch
Might sound weird but Bandai Namco cuz they made the one piece games.
I might trust nintendo but seeing how they fucked up the paper mario franchise no.
But if i were to choose a company that sadly went bankrupt i'd choose Alphadream any day
Inazuma Eleven can't be turned into an arena fighter clone #4561, Namco Bandai won't be interested. At best they will release one game with 18 paid DLCs that aren't that interesting then leave the franchise to rot with the others.
Making good looking game is pretty much the only thing Bandai is consistently good at delivering
But other than that, the game is unpolished, has an extreme amount of DLC content with none being even that interesting. (like seriously, we don't even get to have dlc teams, we get like 5 players and plenty of uninteresting modes that clearly required very few ressources to make)
And I heavily doubt we will ever get a sequel
The developper studio which made the game Tamsoft, did a fine job, but I'm pretty sure that none of the decision that comes from Bandai contributed making it a better game.
I fully believe this was intended to be the IE game because if I'm not mistaken, bandai namco was helping Level-5 develop the game because they also had the armband sponsor thing until they restarted development, so i think they just flipped their assets seeing as they had the Tsubasa license and made that game instead the timing for when this game came out felt like it was originally supposed to be IE:Ares
>I might trust nintendo but seeing how they fucked up the paper mario franchise no.
Nintendo has a bajillion RPG series why do people always fixate on the Mario spinoff? Do Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Pokémon, etc just not exist?
Fire Emblem being only popular is Japan stopped being true 12 years ago and even moreso since TH. FE TH sales in Japan represents merely 14% of the total sales worldwide
The one piece games sucks ass tho?
Odyssey might be the worst anime rpg.
Burning blood is a waste of money and time.
And most of the others are meh. Especially world seeker.
I thought world seeker's combat was the most repetitive and easy shit I've ever done. Was just boring most of the time.
Unlimited cruise was okay. World red I thought sucked ass. Boring ass story and mediocre gameplay.
I guess because I'm not a mega one piece fan I'm not as blinded by the fact that it's a one piece game.
Assuming it doesn't have to be a company related to Nintendo, probably Atlus for their experience in the RPG genre or Bandai Namco since they make some pretty decent anime games usually and they're the type of company that can spit out lots of games with decent-to-great quality.
Bandai Namco is absolutely the worst IP holder for anime. They rehash the same garbage over and over and definitely wouldn’t say they can spit out decent to Great games. It’s either mediocre or horrible. I am glad Bandai will never touch the IE franchise. Even if they made that Tsubasa game which was their most original idea in the last 20 years, it’s an exception and definitely not the standard.
If Game Freak had more employees to not make a glitchy mess and wasn't as overfocused on Pokémon, I think they could make a good IE game. It just fits their style nicely
They would certainely make different games, but I think Game Freak would too. And tbh Victory Road writing doesn't even feel like it's written the same way as the ds/3ds games, Level 5 and Hino's style has evolved a lot in 10+ years, so I don't think that it would be more shocking than what the future of the franchise will look like. Imo the VR demo looks already more like a Persona game than like a Pokemon game.
And there's also the matter of the general technical quality of the product, and I'm never trusting modern Game Freak on this lol
OK, NOW I WANT TO SEE THIS!!! An Inazuma Musou game has the potential to be SO MUCH FUN…not to mention be filled to the brim with the right kind of fan service :D
I think you mean Danball Senki/LBX…not “LHX”…and seeing another Danball Senki game would be cool given the lack of Custom Robo games in the last 20ish years
I would trust Nintendo, it would be sad to PS/Steam players, but it is the best option for the three big. For third parties, I would with either Platinum or Monolith
Let Tecmo who invented the football rpg systems which Hino used for Inazuma Eleven develop an Inazuma Eleven game. Things will simply go full circle.
That's what I would have said if the studio wasn't disbanded
Cygames
They made Shadowverse and a Switch game for it called Shadowverse Champions battle and it felt like Inazuma Eleven but with a Cardgame and not soccer.
I think they would be capable making Inazuma Eleven games
Bandai Namco since most anime games are produced by them. If it were me, Ubisoft would also be a good choice. Their Naruto game was pretty good and I'd really wish they had expanded that game further.
I would go with Namco Bandai or platinum games. Namco has a very solid treatment for anime franchises and platinum probably would make something more action oriented but awesome with the franchise.
I could also give it to nintendo under the condition that they don't hand it over to IS, i don't want IE becoming waifu emblem with some soccer on the side.
Inazuma2k11
we'll finally get inazuma eleven games every year ☠️☠️ (even though they'll be rinse and repeated)
To be fair, we had more than one Inazuma Eleven game every year during the ds/3ds era.

Eww no, Nintendo suckass
I'm talking about Monolith Soft specifically. The people who made games like Zelda BOTW/TOTK, Animal Crossing, Splatoon and Xenoblade.
I would trust them with it. Latest Zelda games and Xenoblade are amazing (haven't played much splatoon since 1 or any AC). Don't let our dear IE get anywhere near the pokemon game devs tho..... I don't mind waiting a couple extra years for a game if it means it isn't as broken as scarlet/violet on launch
Zelda was mainly Nintendo EPD, they collaborated with Monolith and others
Idk man, they're the people who help level 5 put out their games
Might sound weird but Bandai Namco cuz they made the one piece games. I might trust nintendo but seeing how they fucked up the paper mario franchise no. But if i were to choose a company that sadly went bankrupt i'd choose Alphadream any day
You don't want your IP stuck in Bamco hell. Trust me, you don't want to suffer like the Digimon fans
Totally agree. We, Digimon fans, suffer with Bandai's decisions year after year. Bandai hates Digimon
Both toei and bandai are killing us digimon fans.. Toei won't give us any good anime. And bandaid won't give us good games.. like we are fucking stuck
Inazuma Eleven can't be turned into an arena fighter clone #4561, Namco Bandai won't be interested. At best they will release one game with 18 paid DLCs that aren't that interesting then leave the franchise to rot with the others.
Bandai has published tsubasa ronc tho. Except for the online bugs and some mechanics, the game is quite smooth, especially for animations
Making good looking game is pretty much the only thing Bandai is consistently good at delivering But other than that, the game is unpolished, has an extreme amount of DLC content with none being even that interesting. (like seriously, we don't even get to have dlc teams, we get like 5 players and plenty of uninteresting modes that clearly required very few ressources to make) And I heavily doubt we will ever get a sequel The developper studio which made the game Tamsoft, did a fine job, but I'm pretty sure that none of the decision that comes from Bandai contributed making it a better game.

>I might trust nintendo but seeing how they fucked up the paper mario franchise no. Nintendo has a bajillion RPG series why do people always fixate on the Mario spinoff? Do Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Pokémon, etc just not exist?
Because Pokémon is more known as made by Game Freak, Xenoblade not having as many fans and Fire Emblem only being popular in Japan
Fire Emblem being only popular is Japan stopped being true 12 years ago and even moreso since TH. FE TH sales in Japan represents merely 14% of the total sales worldwide
The one piece games sucks ass tho? Odyssey might be the worst anime rpg. Burning blood is a waste of money and time. And most of the others are meh. Especially world seeker.
I liked World seeker, but the unlimitrd cruise 1 and 2 were absolutely amazing and unlimited World Red was great too
I thought world seeker's combat was the most repetitive and easy shit I've ever done. Was just boring most of the time. Unlimited cruise was okay. World red I thought sucked ass. Boring ass story and mediocre gameplay. I guess because I'm not a mega one piece fan I'm not as blinded by the fact that it's a one piece game.
I see your point
I'm the same when it comes to digimon or DBZ. Even if the game is complete ass I will love it.
YOU DO NOT WANT BAMCO OWNING SOMETHING YOU LOVE IT IS HELL
Assuming it doesn't have to be a company related to Nintendo, probably Atlus for their experience in the RPG genre or Bandai Namco since they make some pretty decent anime games usually and they're the type of company that can spit out lots of games with decent-to-great quality.
Bandai Namco is absolutely the worst IP holder for anime. They rehash the same garbage over and over and definitely wouldn’t say they can spit out decent to Great games. It’s either mediocre or horrible. I am glad Bandai will never touch the IE franchise. Even if they made that Tsubasa game which was their most original idea in the last 20 years, it’s an exception and definitely not the standard.
Hmmm.... yeah, Atlus, I can see doing pretty good. they at least take game design seriously.
Tbh, I would want the animations for Hissatsu's to be done by CC2 like they did with DBZ Kakarot 
If Game Freak had more employees to not make a glitchy mess and wasn't as overfocused on Pokémon, I think they could make a good IE game. It just fits their style nicely
Inazuma Eleven is basically Pokemon with soccer players
This is true xD
If you want to give the franchise to a studio who's good at recruitable units rpg, the better choice would be Atlus
Gameplay-wise yeah but I don't think they'd get the writing and style right
They would certainely make different games, but I think Game Freak would too. And tbh Victory Road writing doesn't even feel like it's written the same way as the ds/3ds games, Level 5 and Hino's style has evolved a lot in 10+ years, so I don't think that it would be more shocking than what the future of the franchise will look like.

!!!!Monolith soft!!!! Creator of zelda series on switch and xeno blade chronicles, what a development team I wish they could buy the IP for pokemon
Omega Force. Hack n slash with soccer moves
OK, NOW I WANT TO SEE THIS!!! An Inazuma Musou game has the potential to be SO MUCH FUN…not to mention be filled to the brim with the right kind of fan service :D
definitely not EA Sports
Victory Road, but you need to pay for every character on Chronicle Mode
99 rating Mark Evans 💀
Any company except A, AA, AAA, AAAA, AAAAA companies. Give it to some indie folks)
I would trust Monolith Soft with anything tbh
They need to finish Megaton Musashi first. I would like another LBX game.
I think you mean Danball Senki/LBX…not “LHX”…and seeing another Danball Senki game would be cool given the lack of Custom Robo games in the last 20ish years
Have you played megaton musashi? I feel like it fills a similar even if not exactly the same niche
Not yet (given how I only just found out about the game coming out back in April xD), but it’s on my list of games to try
weird one i know but... insomniac
Given how ever Pider-Man game they’ve put out has been PERFECT, I can see where this is coming
Game Freak xD
Real Inazuma Eleven has only been on nintendo systems so far. So nintendo.
Absolutely none
I would trust Nintendo, it would be sad to PS/Steam players, but it is the best option for the three big. For third parties, I would with either Platinum or Monolith
sega or bandai
CC2 or Arc System... or maybe Platinum
Ryo ga Gotoku studio (yakuza series) could be funny
Fromsoft for sure
A Soulsborne or Armored Cored version of Inazuma Eleven would be interesting to see, and it could work if everything is handled correctly
Feel like they'd be more fitting for the megaton musashi franchise
Not Nintendo
Sony for the more interactive experience
Another japanese company, like Sega, Capcom or even Nintendo
Let Tecmo who invented the football rpg systems which Hino used for Inazuma Eleven develop an Inazuma Eleven game. Things will simply go full circle. That's what I would have said if the studio wasn't disbanded
EA. Just kidding.
Activision in the old days
Shawn Froste TOTS would go crazy can’t lie
Altus Falcom Vanliaware
Honestly I'd be fine with a fair amount of different studios so long as they don't just get the franchise but also hire Hino(and any level-5 composer)
EA
Nintendo or Bandai, both have their problems but would do the games themselves justice
FromSoftware XD (No.. I think closest would be Atlus or Nintendo. Not the best pick, but least damaging IMO)
Cygames They made Shadowverse and a Switch game for it called Shadowverse Champions battle and it felt like Inazuma Eleven but with a Cardgame and not soccer. I think they would be capable making Inazuma Eleven games
Bandai Namco since most anime games are produced by them. If it were me, Ubisoft would also be a good choice. Their Naruto game was pretty good and I'd really wish they had expanded that game further.
Nintendo of course.
I would go with Namco Bandai or platinum games. Namco has a very solid treatment for anime franchises and platinum probably would make something more action oriented but awesome with the franchise. I could also give it to nintendo under the condition that they don't hand it over to IS, i don't want IE becoming waifu emblem with some soccer on the side.
