Nintendo Pocket Football Club Shoots For Release On April 17th

Another 3DS eShop title announced in the latest Nintendo Direct was Nintendo Pocket Football Club and Satoru Shibata, head of Nintendo of Europe, confirmed its release on April 17th in Europe.

Instead of playing the actual football games, you manage a club of your own, training your team with a power-up card system. Cards can be obtained via SpotPass and StreetPass and you’ll be able to check on your team’s stats and position using a website. You are encouraged to watch each match to see how your team is progressing and see where you’ll need to improve, especially when dealing with tougher opponents. There’s an Iwata Asks interview that you can read here if you wish to read about the game in great detail with information from Hiroyuki Sonobe.
