Inazuma Eleven may not be destined for North America after all. The listing, which was discovered just a few days ago, has now been quietly removed. Perhaps the original entry was a mistake?

3DS topped all gaming hardware in 2013 as the best-selling device in the UK. PS4 won out in the consoles race, but Nintendo’s portable ended up out-performing other systems overall. New releases and the launch of the 2DS boosted the handheld’s sales, MCV reports in its latest digital edition.

If nothing else, Nintendo’s North American Inazuma Eleven listing for 3DS doesn’t appear to be an error. We followed up with the company after the discovery was made over the weekend, and although not much was said, we were told: “What is listed on the website is the most current info we have.”

Kind of a cryptic response, but apparently, Inazuma Eleven really is coming to the states… we think. Attempts to obtain further details haven’t been too successful thus far.

I do have to admit it’s a bit odd how this listing has come out of the blue. The fact that no previous announcements have been made certainly raises some question marks. It’s also strange how Inazuma Eleven is supposedly due out in Q1 2014 – meaning before the end of March. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see where this leads!

The news was shared during a live-stream demonstration held overnight. During the same event, it was also revealed that Senran Kagura 2’s story takes place in Kyoto.
