Konami has just confirmed that PES 2008 will be hitting a Wii near someone you know in late March in Europe. Miracle of all miracles it comes with full Mii-support.

Yes, "Full Mii support is also present, and users can integrate up to 16 pre-defined Miis into a team, while the ever-changing teams can be stored on to the Wii Remote and switched between two linked Remotes. PES 2008 also has a strong online element, allowing users to play ‘Free Matches’ against unknown opponents, or ‘Friend Matches’ against people on the Wii’s Friends list. Team data can also be sent to friends via the console’s WiiConnect24 system", says the information on the newsdesk.

The release date sees PES 2008 once again in a position to do battle with arch-nemesis FIFA 08 in terms of numbers sold 2007/2008's financial year (ending March 31st) - a year in which the Electronic Arts' official franchise has won the European war of the soccer titans.

We're looking forward to Wii PES like a Newcastle United fan to a first Keegan-lead game. Let's hope that they can both live up to the promise... we'd love that, we'd LOVE it.
