Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 scores with fresh media, screens, trailer
2
Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 makes its western debut next week on most consoles, but Wii owners will have to wait a little longer -- like last year, the Wii iteration of PES 2009 will be released next spring.
Better news: it'll be keeping the same point-and-drag system that proved such a hit, and adding a few frills. There'll be a "new defensive system" in place (or: holding "Z" now sends your nearest player towards the man in possession), a fully licensed UEFA Champions League tournament, and a co-op mode which supports the Classic Controller. Even betterer news: it's PES. If you care one iota about soccer, you should care about PES.
Hit up the gallery for the first Wii screens, including shots of cover star Lionel Messi, "savior" of U.S. soccer David Beckham, and lots of screens of Manchester United, a.k.a. the Greatest Soccer Team in the Woooorld.

Too bad the Brits have no interest in football on Wii (just like Americans have no interest in our football on Wii)
The superior version will get ignored.

Spring?!
Yes, Konami, Spring is the perfect time to release the Wii version of PES. It makes perfect sense.
Well, it won't be the bloody fail that it is on the 360, that's for sure.
