In it, he mentions Youkai Watch and briefly mentions Inazuma Eleven and Danball Senki (Inadan or Inada, as it's referred to by fans and Hiroshi himself). In a later post, he mentions an upcoming Nintendo Direct that will focus on the upcoming Youkai Watch sequel. I will point out that I can't read Japanese, but from the translations there are a lot of things that are easy to connect. One previous post shows a picture of Youkai Watch 2, which comes out next week.

Now, following on some of his previous posts, apparently him saying that Inadan was becoming "tired" in a previous interview sparked some uproar among fans of the work. He may be referring to this interview where he talked about the overhaul of Inazuma Eleven as both a concept and a series, not too dissimilar from Danball Senki Wars (though with larger changes, I suspect).

Taking this in, it's likely that he's not only saying that Inazuma Eleven and Danball Senki haven't been forgotten, but also that he is conceptually trying to completely remake the idea of them so that the next entries won't just be "More of the same, with some additions".
