Konami is currently developing a bespoke Pro Evolution Soccer title for the Wii, slated for release in quarter one of 2008.

 

While the firm said that the title will offer the same level of realism that has established the series, it has had to undergo a major rethink to fully utilize the Wii’s motion-sensitive control system. Full use will be made of both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers.

 

“We are extremely keen to introduce PES to as wide a selection of football fans as possible, and the Wii and its unique abilities are a perfect fit,” commented Jon Murphy, Pro Evolution Soccer team leader for Konami. “The potential for PES on the format is enormous, and we look forward to a very exciting start to 2008.”
