For those coming in fresh, a lot of the nods, winks and background story may be a little baffling, albeit not enough to spoil the experience. Right off the bat we'll say this: if you're a devotee of the first three main titles across DS and 3DS, this is a fun extension that should join your collection. It's a series with impressive lore, nevertheless, and Inazuma Eleven GO: Light & Shadow are the first entries (two titles largely the same, Pokémon-style) outside of Japan to bring the major side-series to Western attention - in Europe initially, once again. Its route to the West has been long, however, with heavily delayed localisation and a Europe focus holding it back - North America only recently received a revamped 3DS version of the DS original. Yo-kai Watch is the current craze, while Professor Layton had some film content to accompany six main-series games and more spin-offs besides then there's Inazuma Eleven, one of the company's most prolific franchises. In Japan, Level-5 is one of the masters at maximising franchises through games - typically on portable systems - and TV shows or films, continually keeping the storyline going and producing regular content.
