That says it all really. Konami has announced that it's bringing the world's finest footie sim to Wii, scheduled for an early 2008 launch. From the press release:
"The Wii version of PES will offer the same level of realism that has established the series as the definitive football title, but has been undergone a radical rethink to make the most of the Wii's motion-sensitive control system. The game will make full use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, offering total control over every aspect of the players and their movements both on and off the ball. The clever use of the Wii controllers will allow users to send players running into space, and to distribute the ball with ease."
Whoa? How's it going to work? It sounds crackers. PES, of course, built its reputation on pinpoint controls and accuracy - how will this marry with the casual frippery of the Wiimote experience? And is frippery even a word?
