Wacky DS football RPG series Inazuma Eleven is heading to 3DS.

Inazuma Eleven will be released in two versions - Shine and Dark - on 15th December in Japan.

The first screenshots are on Famitsu.

The 2008 DS original, Inazuma Eleven, was only released weeks ago in the UK. Eurogamer's Inazuma Eleven review turned up 7/10.

The game has struggled to find an audience, and currently lingers 34th in the UK software chart.
