Wii

Konami have finally unleashed the first info and media of Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 on Wii, and here they are.

Konami press release:
PES 2009: First Wii version details
New AI, more control and modes galore as PES 2009 warms up for Wii Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has revealed key gameplay additions to its forthcoming PES 2009 title for Wii. Scheduled for release in Spring 2009, the new game will retain the intuitive ‘point and click’ interface used to control both the player in possession of the ball and to send those around him on to runs into space. However, a new ‘traditional’ control system using either a Wii Remote or Classic controller has also been implemented.

Producer Akiyoshi ‘Greyhound’ Chosogabe detailed his plans for the new game at a special event in Rome:

• A New Level of Control: Players will once again point and drag team mates into space to make runs, but Greyhound and his team has worked to improve the movement and level of control available to the player.

An improved defense system will allow players to close down their opposition with more precision using the Z button, while a new targeting system sees the player steering where they place the ball when shooting. Coupled with better AI for the CPU-controlled players and opposition, the result is a more free-flowing and faster paced simulation. Set pieces have also been reworked, with more precision on free kicks and a wider range of corners than in the previous game.

• Co-Operative Play: Greyhound is keen to emphasise the teamwork ethos of the PES series, and has added a second control system for co-op play. One player will use the familiar Nunchuck and Wii Remote system to control their player and drag players into space, with the second adopting a more traditional PES controller to control individual players.

Using a Wii Remote held sideways or a classic controller, the secondary player can control the game in a manner familiar to existing versions of PES for other formats. Thus, they can control using familiar PES controls while their co-op player orchestrates their player and the rest of the team using the bespoke Wii system.

• Additional Modes: In keeping with versions for other formats, PES 2009 for Wii will also feature the UEFA Champions League, the addition of the ever-popular Master League for the first time on this format plus the return of an enhanced Champions Road competition, an enhanced Edit Mode, more online gameplay possibilities, and a Mii Training sub-game system.

not bad for a Wii, though I gave up on that platform a while ago...

I heard the Wii version was very good indeed last year. If I am going to get PES at all this year, it'll be for the Wii.

Hmm, if I'm honest, I actually think those screenshots look better than the so called current gen game. Ironic that. PES' only viable home could be the Wii, because it's a shambles on the powerhouse consoles.

You can't have played much of PS3/360 PES09 if you think the Wii version looks better, Dingleberry.

Yeah, you're right. That was a bit harsh in hindsight. But if you look at it perspectively, I initially thought that these screenshots were the 360/PS3 vesion at first glance. The fact that those versions still have a very last gen look about them, and that the Wii version is almost on par with them visually bar shadowing, says a lot IMO. Seabass has failed the owners of these consoles epically. There is just no defending him and Konami. Amazing how a once incredible franchise can go down the toilet so fast.

With regards to the next gen versions, PES will never compete with FIFA until it uses a new engine.

I think PES will only shine on Wii due to the control scheme. On Xbox360 and PS3, the king is Fifa 2009
