For those that extensively played Inazuma Eleven 3: Team Ogre Attacks!, Arion actually made a cameo appearance, tying in with his back-story for this game - whilst trying to save a puppy, Arion trips, but is saved from being hit by the toppling planks of wood ready to knock him into a coma by a cool-as-you-like Raimon Eleven member (again, no spoilers here!), blasting the boards away with a fiery shot.

A few familiar faces make an appearance for those that dislike complete change - such as Coach Travis and Celia, plus some secrets best left uncovered - but this is ten years after the events of Inazuma Eleven 3, so the fact that changes are afoot should have been expected. Instead, the new lead is a chipper young chap by the name of Arion Sherwind (complete with what sounds like a girl's voice). Players are no longer in charge of Mark Evans. The world really has gone football mad, and this game is launching just in time for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil! How about that for good timing, Nintendo? While Sherwind’s initial goal is simply to break into a formidable first team captained by the virtuoso player, Riccardo Di Rigo, bigger problems soon come to pass when the whole team is threatened with closure on the orders of Fifth Sector, a shadowy football governing body intent on controlling the ‘beautiful game’.The world has gone crazy - no longer is football a mere sport where players show off their skills, now it has become so abundantly popular that it has pretty much taken over the world, with people only joining schools that have strong teams. Set ten years after the events of Inazuma Eleven 3, both Inazuma Eleven GO: Light and Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow storylines kick off the tale of the young but talented Arion Sherwind as he begins his football career during hard times for Raimon Junior High. Fast-forward to the present, however, and it is up to a new class of aspiring superstars to take to the pitch and go for glory in Inazuma Eleven GO: Light and Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow, both launching for Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS systems on 13th June.


Inazuma Eleven GO: Light and Inazuma Eleven GO: Shadow pit new hero Arion Sherwind against a shadowy organisation intent on controlling football!ġ4th May 2014 – In the Inazuma Eleven series to date, the likes of Mark Evans, Axel Blaze and Jude Sharp have been the legends who have written the school of Raimon Junior High into the football history books.
