 Sounds like they have high praise for it, but fear that the newness of it may scare off seasoned PES veterans. Here is just a snipit of the article.

After some seven years dedicated to PES (and add another seven if you count all the time we sat agog in front of Pro Evolution's genetic predecessor International Superstar Soccer), the massive sea change the new control system heralds can be initially galling. Indeed, we worry that some dedicated PES fans will be aghast at the new mechanics, and could turn away in bewildered disgust before the potential of the system comes apparent. What Konami has done with Pro Evolution on the Wii is undoubtedly impressive however, and the development team have clearly thought long and hard about how best to implement the unique controls of the Wii into the series.

You'll need to rewire your Pro Evo brain to handle the new mechanics.

We only managed to squeeze in a handful of games but at the end of our short acquaintance we were already getting a feel for the new style, dictating play with the Wii-mote and Nunchuk with all the ferocity of Graham Taylor in his more unstable years. What really excites is what is capable when the controls are fully grasped – with such untold control in your hands a whole different skill set is required, and after the relative disappointment of the Xbox 360 and PS3 incarnations, Pro Evolution 2008 on the Wii looks to be the first truly next-generation offering from the series.

Sounds like good news for all you soccer fans out there. 

good news:D

Nice. Can't wait to see how the next version that is released along side the PS360 versions sell.

Also would like to hear a few seasoned PES player's opinions.

Anyone who has played Metroid Prime 3 and Resident Evil 4 (Wii) will not be at all supprised by this. The benifits that the Wii remote has given to these games is fantastic and I for one will be trying pro evo for the Wii.

Sounds like Konami worked hard. Let's hope they advertise it well in Europe and Japan, and hopefully people still want to buy it after it being released a lot further after the others. The later release date could only be the thing that hurts it. But let's hope not. Could be a big seller on the Wii.

SWEET!!!!

I always buy 1 soccer game per gen... this will be IT!

In america the PES2008 is not out yet for Xbox360 and PS3, The wii version can have a chance in here, It looks like you can do anything you want to do with the controls scheme. We have to wait and see how the online plays.

Nah soccer games normally don't sell to well in America. I doubt PES 08 will be any different, unless it gets some mega advertising on its online part, cause Wii owners are always looking for the next online game. After Mario Strikers charged did well, maybe we converted some soccer fans who'll look to a real soccer game.

PES for WII ?!!
Great news for Nintendo

I don't think the PS360 version of PES 08 will hurt the Wii version (much) since it's so totally different (and better!). Lots of people skip the minor yearly upgrades, but will be interested in trying out this version since it's the biggest leap in gameplay in some time.

Even a lot of people (like myself) who have not normally been interested in the game will want to try this.
