What does Konami have for me?

I was rather excited to see the news from Konami this morning that they have dropped two games planned for the Wii. Not for this news in itself, but rather for a teaser of an upcoming football title for the Wii. According to Play Wii, there is a “Soccer Game” planned for the Wii. Quite what this is, I’m not sure but I am excited none the less. I don’t think it will be PES, because firstly they mention PES, or “World Soccer Winning Eleven Series” for the PS3, but the Wii title is mentioned as an anonymous “Sports Game — Soccer”. A colleague at work is hoping for a “strap-the-wii-mote-to-your-leg” style football game, but I’m not too sure about that myself being a couch potato. Given Konami’s glorious history of representing the beautiful game though, I am looking forward to seeing what they have to offer. In the mean time, PES6 on the DS will be eating my time next…

Wii Soccer

The Wii has been so much fun since I got it, I’ve not missed having a football game. However, when I saw ISS 3 for the Game Cube for £8, it was impossible to resist. I also managed to get a second hand wireless Nintendo Wavebird controller for £4.99 which was a great bargain. ISS 3 isn’t great compared to PES 5, but it will do until there is a realistic football game for the Wii, if indeed there ever will be. I know Mario Soccer is on the horizon, but that’s hardly what we are looking for here in Europe!
