Level-5 bringing soccer RPG to the DS

Level-5 is set to bring a very unique title to the DS in Japan. A soccer game with RPG mechanics, Inazuma Eleven was first revealed via Famitsu magazine in Japan. The game will charge players with taking on rival teams, all while controlling the action with the stylus.

As if that weren't enough, the game is also going to support wi-fi, allowing players to battle each other online as well as exchange things. The game will also feature over 1,000 different characters.

You can't get a weirder combination of genres and, because of that, we're instantly interested.

I'm interested in this because

1) It sounds like an interesting concept, and interesting and new concepts have turned out oh-so-well on the DS in the past (Ace Attorney, although it started on the GBA, and Trauma Center, etc.)

2) It's made by Level-5. Every single one of their released games has met critical acclaim.

Really, this looks very cool. It reminds me of the portable Mario Tennis and Mario Golf (though I never played portable Mario Golf, I own both portable Mario Tennis'), what with the RPG + sport concept.

Looks good.
