Inazuma Eleven Ares is coming to the Nintendo Switch, but Level-5 isn’t quite done with the Nintendo 3DS yet. On July 20th, they released the original Inazuma Eleven as a free download for those with Japanese 3DS systems. Today, 10 days later, the company announced that the game has been downloaded 200,000 times so far. If their apparent goal was to drum up interest for the series in the lead-up to Inazuma Eleven Ares, then it seems like they succeeded.
Level-5 has previously said that this offer will only be available for a limited time, but hasn’t announced a concrete end date yet. So if you own a Japanese 3DS and want the first Inazuma Eleven game for free, better get on it sooner rather than later.
Today’s Super Smash Blog update is about another returning veteran, one of the original 12 from Smash 64, Jigglypuff:
Jigglypuff can jump 5 times in the air and can move faster in the air than on the ground. Use Jigglypuff’s great aerial ability to overwhelm your opponent! If you manage to land the down special Rest, you can powerfully launch your opponent.

- Rewards based on your Rank in Army score will be added for each of the three battles in the event
- The fewer areas your army controls, the higher your initial defense score will be in areas you control at the start of the next round

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun should continue to sell in the weeks and months ahead. These titles tend to be evergreen releases, with Taiko no Tatsujin Wii as one example going on to sell over 650,000 copies in the end.
