New Winning Eleven Coming This Spring!

You read that right, Konami are releasing a new WE game over in Japan in a couple of months! Massive thanks to Hideiker for this!

Reported on the official Japanese site, it states that Konami will be releasing it to coincide with the world cup, and Japan’s ‘year of sport’ initiative.

Personally, I’m very excited. As a stand alone game, although the focus seems just on a particular game mode, there’s every chance of tweaks and new additions we’ve all been asking for. More details as soon as we get them!

J-League WE CC 2009 Given Release Date

Abbreviations galore in that post title! J-League Winning Eleven Club Championship 2009 (breathe) has finally been given a release date, and is due to hit store shelves in Japan on August 6th. This PS2 exclusive game is a hardcore fan favourite, and is an anticipated yearly release. Since the PS3 and Xbox 360 hit interest has dropped dramatically, but it’s still a game I will no doubt pick up.

There is however some concerning news that, fingers crossed, is due to timing of release rather than problems Konami are facing. The licensed European club teams are at a low, with no Man Utd license (just Liverpool), only 3 Italian teams (Juve, Inter and AC Milan), and just 2 Spanish teams (Real Madrid and Barcelona). The French and Dutch leagues remain intact though.

Like I said, I’m confident these issues will be resolved by the time PES 2010 hits. Here’s hoping! Check here for the official site.

Thanks to Sidiclei for the news.

J-League WE 2009 CC Announced!

A post for all the hardcore PES/WE fans out there, J-League Winning Eleven 2009 Club Championship has been announced! (A bit of a mouthful that). This version of the series has always been held in high regard by the veteran PES players throughout the years, and the announcement of a new version for the PS2 will get some very excited.

No concrete details on the release date as yet, but these games tend to come out around August in recent years. Check out the official Japanese site for any information by clicking here.

Cheers to hideiker from the boards for the news. Comment on the news by clicking here!

Winning Eleven 2009 Continues To Sell In Japan…

…with surprisingly the PS3 version coming out on top! With the XBOX 360 struggling in the East it might not be that much of a shock, but the realization of the fact the PS2 version hasn’t performed like years gone by might raise a few eye brows.
