A Nintendo 3DS port was released in the Western world on February 13, 2014, as a downloadable game via the Nintendo eShop, including updated graphics and visuals,[2][3] and is the first and only game in the series available in North America. The game was also included in an compilation for the Nintendo 3DS, Inazuma Eleven 1-2-3: Endou Mamoru's Legend, which released in Japan in December 2012.

Mitsui has also created a collectible card game tie-in.[4][5] A remake is in development.[6]
