Except for the cancelled Xbox version, Pro Evolution Soccer 6 will kick off this year on every major platform, from PC to PS2, Xbox 360, PSP and DS. But what about the Wii? Surely, some interesting things could come out of this combination. And Konami couldn't agree more because, according to a CVG story, they are already working on a PES game for the Nintendo Wii console.
PES producer Shingo "Seabass" Takatsuka has confirmed that a Wii version of Pro Evoltuion Soccer is in development and testing right now - indeed, meaning that it's already playable (to some degree) on Nintendo's upcoming console. What they're still experimenting with at the moment is how to use the Wii remote and Nunchuk controllers in the game. If they can figure out a way to use them for things like shooting, passing or throw-ins, I would shurely be interested to see how it plays.
And if not, they can always get a clue from Nintendo's Mario Strikers Charged. Or from EA, because apparently they're also keeping busy on a Wii football (as in soccer) game. Although their approach, according to Seabass' hearsay, is a bit more radical:
"Seabass also revealed that he's heard whispers of EA getting busy in R&D, by looking at strapping a remote device to a player's foot for shooting. Quite what that turns out to be we don't know, but you can bet that it'll have FIFA in the title." I can already imagine a Wiimote loosely strapped to my foot one moment, and the next one flying around the room and scoring in the corner of my TV. It's a goooaaal!
