Pro Evolution Soccer will (eventually) arrive on the Wii U

42 Comments

Konami has explained that, while they will eventually bring Pro Evolution Soccer to the Wii U, it’s not going to happen right away. Instead, they will be focusing on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions. Of course, for your fix of football (or “soccer” as I would prefer to call it), there’s always FIFA.

      Lol

    This is great I love PES because the fully customization and different International teams then Fifa. I like both equally. And the physics look majorly improved. But David you should change that pic and show a PS3 or PC snapshot because on the WiiU it would look like that.

    • TheLordVoldemort

      … you mean to tell us that this snapshot, the one featured above, is from the most recent PES game?
      How ‘recent’ is that? 2006?

    • JBiz

      You realise Wii U can display ‘better graphics’ than the PS3 don’t you?

    • Sportsgamer

      No I’m saying this a bad pic because it’s from the 3ds version. So it should show a snapshot from PC or PS3 because it will look more like that.

    • hamish

      Thats from like PES 6, notice the Arsenal sponser and Beckham at Real

  • luisjo96

    boring :\

  • Gary

    Haha, Nice screenshot David. Pes 5 the good old days when it killed fifa in everyway, There really is no need for pes anymore Konami just can’t keep up with ea anymore. Its about time pes was just left to rest in peace.

    The day that PES returns to the way PES5 and 6 were is the day I stop playing FIFA. After that game, you don’t get better, so why they changed it up in PES2008 is beyond me. Right now PES may as well just die; few teams are licensed, customization is shallow and gameplay sucks. The only reason they’re still around IMO is because of Champions League and Europa League licensing; if FIFA gets that, no one will play PES.

  • dumpyass shitbutt

    DAmn those graphics are shit…

    • UmaX5000

      That screenshot is from the PS3/360 version. not the Wii U. You might be watching alot of Wii U gameplay/screenshots.

    • Sportsgamer

    • kelvin

      did you read the article?

    • Tails the Foxhound

      NOT HERE IN AMERICA! HOME OF THE FREE AND LAND OF UNLOCALIZED TALES GAMES! REAL football is played by (black) men, soccer is for kids, sissies and girls! OH, SAY CAN YOU SEE BY THE DAWN’S EARLY LIGHT! /shot

    • RicardoSForever

      Tails, don’t be a douche. Just because you don’t care that much about football, besides in woman’s football, it doesn’t give you the right to troll it. Nobody came here, and started to troll about american football, now did we?

    • kelvin

      @tails

      you don’t get out much do you?

    • Tails the Foxhound

      …I guess I have to come out and say in plain English that I was joking? I know you can’t glean inflection from text, but c’mon, I thought I was being pretty obvious.

    • TechTris

      American football kicks ass.

  • http://hybrilynx.net/ Hybrilynx

    why doesnt anyone ever just make a good game? please at least 1 before i die. if your going to make soccer add guns and aliens or something. boring.

    • Bicentennial_Pidgeon

      Troll? its hard to tell.

      If your idea of a good game is guns and aliens, there are PLENTY of those out there to play b4 you die.

      They don’t need to be mashed with football/soccer…though that would be a neat concept.

    • My ship sails in the morning

      While I don’t like sports games either, does nothing (other than metroid) please you? On almost every news post you comment about how said game is bad and people “don’t know how to make games” or something like that.

      Also, like the above guy said, aliens and guns are a pretty unoriginal concept. I’m sure there are some games out there you’d like.

    • Bicentennial_Pidgeon

      Brony?

  • football with your hand LOL

    WE DONT CARE WHAT AMERICANS THINK THE GAME IS FOOTBALL IN EVERY COUNTRY ON EARTH EXCEPT USA AND AUSTRALIA because there dumb….

    the only reason usa called there rugby in helmets football was to stick up a middle finger to UK, Australia did the same thing yet both there games are just copys of football and rugby

    any nation that calls a game you play with your HANDS football is clearly freaking RETARDED

    the game is FOOTBALL thats why its called the fifa FOOTBALL WORLD CUP

    americans jesus cannot be doing with them

    it better support wii remote and chuck controls analog and d-pad is dead

    • kelvin

      ….

    • ?

      I stopped at “because there dumb”

    • millsy

      In Aussie football you kick goals. You kick with your foot. Dumb troll.

    • RicardoSForever

      wtf?

    • http://www.youtube.com/flyinglevel Nick Knack

      stoped at the end of their dumb.

      Japan calls it soccer too.

  • Ness

    So is this what the Wii U graphics look like? Great. Nintendo fucking disappointed me AGAIN. Just look at the black-ass guy’s knee. The hell is that shit? Screw Nintendo, screw this game, screw the world!

    SCREW JESUS H. CHRIST!

    • millsy

      Ness, you’re just being a real dumbass right now. There is no footage or screenshots of PES on the Wii U right now. But you’re pretty funny when you overreact.

    • Josh

      Go outside, buy an original xbox or ps2, and buy PES 5, then you will be able to know what game this screenshot is from. And while you’re at it, google search Thierry Henry and learn that “the black-ass guy” has a name. Jackass.

  • a normal thinking person

    you kick a ball with your football and ad to this ball meens a round like object

    i fail to understand how holding a egg shaped object with your hands is FOOT AND BALL THERES NETHER A FOOT OR A BALL INVOLVED there for how can it be football

    a guy in a silly helmet running across a field of grass holding in his HANDS a non ball shaped object is NOT FOOTBALL

    messi is the worlds best FOOTBALLER does he wear a hemmet NO does he hold the ball in his hands and run with it NO

    he kicks it now run along americans because we are tired of your BS

    the season were leaves fall from trees is autumn and the game you play is just a ripp off of rugby but because your fags and not men you need silly padding and helmets

    rugby players dont because there real men

    • Bicentennial_Pidgeon

      agreed^^^^^ and I am an American. Happy 4th.

  • Some Guy On The Internet

  • Peskiest

    Thanks to you David, I learned something today. That something is: Australians call it Soccer too.
