Inazuma Eleven Anime Coming To Europe, Africa - Games On The Way?

This may be one of those announcements about an announcement, and it isn't directly related to video games (yet), but it sounds like the long rumored localization of RPG/Football hybrid (not to be confused with Handegg), Inazuma Eleven just got one step closer to European audiences. An announcement coming form WorldScreen.com has relayed the message that Spanish media distributor Arait Multimedia has finalized a deal to bring the 100+ episode anime series to Europe and Africa. With the TV show getting an official release, it should be only a matter of time until players can enjoy the game the show was based on (and for angry US players to import it). Arait Multimedia won't likely be publishing the game themselves, but will almost certainly sell the license to capable hands.
For those unfamiliar with the title, the Inazuma Eleven series is a stylus driven Football game with some unique RPG elements that makes every pass a battle with power ups and abilities you might see in Shaolin Soccer. The series is developed by Level 5 (better known as the folks behind Professor Layton, Dragon Quest 8, and Dark Cloud) and sports some impressive DS visuals. Check out some gameplay footage after the jump.
