Inazuma Eleven Strikers (イナズマイレブンストライカーズ, Inazuma Irebun Sutoraikāzu, lit. Lightning Eleven Strikers) is the first Inazuma Eleven spin-off for the Nintendo Wii, featuring characters from all three Inazuma Eleven Nintendo DS games, as well as five special guests from Inazuma Eleven GO. It was released on July 16, 2011 in Japan, and was released on September 28, 2012 in Europe.

Development

The game was originally scheduled to release on April 28, 2011. However, on March 15, 2011, Level-5 announced the game's release date would be pushed off to summer of that year in order to make it a "game that can be enjoyed by the whole family" and "to make the game easier to play for users who have never played soccer games before without sacrificing quality".

Features

Training in the game.

Inazuma Eleven Strikers' new features which set it apart from previous Inazuma Eleven Nintendo DS titles include high-quality 3D models, environments and graphics, and fully voiced lines for all characters and their designated hissatsu techniques. Additionally, due to its environments being in 3D, the player can control whether they move at a third person or a first person zoom-up view, although only being able to do so in the club room. The game is divided into 4 modes: Exhibition (エキシビション, Ekishibishon), Minigame (ミニゲーム, Minigēmu), Tournament (トーナメント, Tōnamento), and Clubroom (ぶしつ, Bushitsu; dub: Club Room).

Exhibition

In Exhibition, the player can play with up to 4 players and choose from the set of playable teams or their own original team. After selecting the teams, the player will then be able to choose from a set of available stadiums. No matter the outcome of the match, the player won't earn any Inazuma points.

Minigame

In Minigame, the player can choose from the set of playable teams or their own original team. After selecting the team, the player will then be prompted to play up to 4 players and pick the team's members. The player can then choose one of the five minigames: Pull (ひっぱれ, Hippare; dub: Bus Pull), Accumulate (ためろ, Tamero; dub: Tyre Punch), Connect (つなげ, Tsunage; dub: Volley), Run Through (かけぬける, Kakenukero; dub: Tyre Dash), and Stretch (のびる, Nobiro; dub: Bungee Shoot). Selecting one will have the player try to beat the high score and/or a medal.

Tournament

In Tournament, the player can play with up to 4 players and choose which team they want to be on (Teams A through D). After selecting the teams, the player will then be able to choose if they want a 4 or 8 team style tournament. Upon selecting, the player will then be able to choose from the set of playable teams or their own original team. After selecting the team, the player will then be randomly assigned to a bracket when they press the A button. No matter the outcome of the matches, the player won't earn any Inazuma points.

Clubroom

In Clubroom, the player will be able to make their own team and choose the background based on the seasons of the year. Entering the mode will allow the player to choose one of the 6 options: Competition (たいかい, Taikai), Match (しあい, Shiai), Special Training (とっくん, Tokkun; dub: Training), Team (チーム, Chīmu), Scout (スカウト, Sukauto), and Item (アイテム, Aitemu; dub: Items):

• In Competition, the player will be able to enter in 4 different competitions, earning trophies, Inazuma points, increase their team's Bond and TP, and treasure chest rewards once they win. In order, the competitions are called First Competition (第一(だいいち)大会(たいかい), Daīchi Taikai; dub: 1st Comp) (Teikoku Gakuen, Zeus, and Ogre), Second Competition (第二(だいに)大会(たいかい), Daini Taikai; dub: 2nd Comp) (Chaos, Aliea Gakuen, and Dark Emperors), Third Competition (第三(だいさん)大会(たいかい), Daisan Taikai; dub: 3rd Comp) (Neo Japan, Sekai Senbatsu, and Dark Angel), and Forth Competition (第四(だいよん)大会(たいかい), Daiyon Taikai; dub: 4th Comp) (2 random teams and Girls Team).
• In Match, the player will be able to practise against the teams beaten in Competition, earning Inazuma points and increasing the team's Bond once they win. The player will only be able to unlock Raimon, Second Raimon, and Inazuma Japan in this mode after defeating Teikoku Gakuen, Zeus, and Dark Emperors in Competition, respectively.
• In Special Training, the player will be able to increase their team members' Bond (キズナ, Kizuna) and TP once they choose one of the 5 available minigames. In order, Pull greaty increases TP, Accumulate increases both TP and Bond, Connect greatly increases Bond, Run Through mainly increases Bond but also increases TP, and Stretch mainly increases TP but also increases Bond. As the player increases their team members' Bond, they will unlock various stat boosts and/or combination hissatsu techniques.

For a full list of stat boosts through Bond, see Inazuma Eleven Strikers/Bond perks.

• In Team, the player will be able to sort their team members, formation, and staff. The player will be able to also view how their team members are feeling, their Bond levels, change the team's name, uniform, and jersey numbers, and save their own team date on a Wii remote.
• In Scout, the player will be able to get a myriad of players once they defeat their team in Competition mode or a meet specific requirements by spending a certain amount of Inazuma points (イナズマポイント, Inazuma pointo, lit. Lightning point). The player can also select how they choose to view the mode, either by teams, able to scouted, nickname, Inazuma points, or by position.
• In Item, the player will be granted access to a shop where they can purchase items and uniforms, ranging from TP restoring items to temporary stat boosting items. Once bought, the items will be stored on the Clubroom's treasure chest. After defeating Ogre in Competition, the player will be able to purchase permanent stat boosting items.

Trivia

• 真 Majin The Hand is the only fully evolved hissatsu technique in the game.
• This game marks the first playable appearances of Matsukaze, Shindou, Tsurugi, Kirino, and Shinsuke.
  • This is due to Inazuma Eleven Strikers being released several months prior to the release of the Inazuma Eleven GO game.
  • The artwork used for the Inazuma Eleven GO cast is, notably, based off of its anime artwork.
• Tsurugi will always wear his own clothes unless the player sets the team's uniform to Shinsei Raimon's.
  • Interestingly, if the player sets the team's uniforms to its away version, his clothes change from purple to white.
• Wonder Life Special, a magazine division of Shougakukan, released a strategy guide for this game.
• Out of the thirteen playable teams, Dark Emperors, Neo Japan, and Girls Team misorder Shadow, Yuukoku, and Hiromi with Max, Saginuma, and Kouko respectively as every other team orders by default position, treating as if Shadow and Yuukoku were listed as s and Max and Saginuma listed as s while treating Hiromi as if she were listed as a and Kouko listed as a .
  • This was rectified on the following games, but is present in the European localizations of the game.
• Across the two different regional box arts, only one player is featured:
  • The Japanese box art features Touko while the European box art features Ulvida.
    • Additionally, the European box art features two forms of Kazemaru, namely Raimon and Dark Emperors.
• Unlike previous Inazuma Eleven localizations, the opening is an the instrumental version of the original opening, Minna Atsumariyo!.
  • However, akin to previous Inazuma Eleven localizations, the European release was translated from Inazuma Eleven Strikers, but various assets, such as the UI and stats, are taken from Inazuma Eleven Strikers 2012 Xtreme.
    • This is further evidenced by fully voiced lines for Inazuma Eleven Strikers 2012 Xtreme movesets and Keshin graphics remaining in the European game's files.
• The game released in Europe roughly one year prior to the release of Inazuma Eleven 3: Sekai e no Chousen!!, despite it featuring characters from the aforementioned title as well as the following Inazuma Eleven series, Inazuma Eleven GO.
• On the following month of its European release, two British renowned figures released reviews on different platforms about the game:
  • On October 16th, 2012, Matt Purslow, an IGN News and Features Editor, released a review on GameSpot wherein he gave the game a score of 5, saying that "money would better be spent on the likes of Mario Strikers Charged" due to its "awful voice acting," "drawn-out special moves," and "the lack of personalities.""
  • On October 28th, 2012, Adam Riley, a voice actor, released a review on Cubed3, wherein he also gave a score of 5, praising its multiplayer option, but criticized its minigames.
