Released exclusively in Japan on December 27, 2012, Inazuma Eleven 1-2-3: Endou Mamoru Densetsu compresses over 150 hours of gameplay across three titles: Inazuma Eleven (2008), Inazuma Eleven 2: Kyoui no Shinryokusha (2009), and Inazuma Eleven 3: Sekai e no Chousen!! (2010). The subtitle Endou Mamoru Densetsu (“The Legend of Endou Mamoru”) frames the trilogy as a biographical saga of its protagonist—a passionate goalkeeper whose journey from local underdog to world champion mirrors the franchise’s own rise in popularity.
