“…In terms of Inazuma 11, RPGs are tough enough to sell in America as it’s considered a niche genre, but combine that with soccer and it would make it that much harder to get support from retailers regardless of how good the games may be.” – XSEED rep

Even though I’d love to see Inazuma 11 out in North America, I have to agree with XSEED. And unfortunately, I’m not so confident the game would sell well even though it’s a high-quality product. You may remember that the game received a 36/40 from Famitsu last year.
