We’ve left you with a question this week about the upcoming release of PES 2009. As you can see on the sidebar to the right, we ask you: “What key improvement for PES2009 would please you most?”
Keep in mind that choosing one option means not much will be changed to the other two options. For example, choosing better online play would mean an excellent online product with no lag, but it would mean only a few minor tweaks have been made to the gameplay and graphics.

Just a heads up for the 4 of you that still play Konami’s laggy mess that is PES 2008 online, an “emergency maintenance” has been scheduled on July the 7th. I personally doubt they would try to improve the online performance while they are right in the middle of development for PES 2009, but it would be a pleasant surprise!

After the announcement that PES 2009 would be released on the PS3,XBOX 360,PS2,Nintendo DS and the PSP, some gamers noticed the lack of any mention of the Wii version. Due to it’s relative success on the innovative new platform, it came as a big shock that they did not have anything lined up at the moment.

Konami had this to say on PES 2009 for the Wii: “We cannot comment on anything other than is in the release.”

However, it is very early days and an announcement in the near future announcing its release on the platform would come as no surprise.
