Super Smash Brothers Brawl could only get even more greater than it already is by including Gunstar Heroes Red and Blue in the character rosters. With those jumps, punches and throws they would be tailor made for the game, Seven Force could be used for their final smash..if only

Got the Internet Channel back eventually.
Now the bloody thing times out during the download of Sin and Punishment.
I wish NOE would sort out their servers

Now this is what I've been waiting for! A football game with a free pointer based passing (something I've talked about since the announcement of the Wiimote) + the ability to move players not on the ball, etc. etc. Excellent stuff, I'm sure it will take some time to learn and master, but the potential is finally put to a very interesting use. I'm predicting serious moments of hc-brilliance with this one. Respect to Konami.

No big deal you may think, but what's interesting is that the Wiimote appears as a point on the screen, affecting the gameplay in a couple of ways. Firstly, it's an alternative way of moving your player around the screen - drag the cursor around while holding A and your player will follow the on-screen target. Secondly, the cursor is used to accurately pass the ball, so if you want to thread a looping through ball to a winger (rather than the obvious guy standing nearby) simply move the target over the runner's head and press pass.

That's not all. Using the same method, you're free to pass into space and, from the video we've seen), the AI is smart enough to know what you're doing and latch onto the pass, within reason of course.

The Wiimote comes in really useful during setpieces too because you can 'order' off-the-ball players to make runs. Again, simply click the cursor over their heads and then drag in the direction you want them to run. They'll then scuttle off, leaving you to knock in a well-weighted ball they can latch on to. There's no limit to the number of players you can move around either, so there's no reason why a skilled player couldn't send one player off on a dummy run while crossing the ball into the path of a player they've sent in another direction.

Not wanting to state the obvious, but that looks utterly mental.

On-line matches would be awesome! especially teams of mates versus the world!

Indeed

(though have to see if it comes out in the US, as I have a US Wii)

Wow, that's the most interesting Wii news in a long time. PES is an amazing series but it's getting tired and stale now. This is either going to *completely* revolutionise the game for the better for a be an utter and total disaster. There's just no way of knowing until it's played, although the one-twos looked easier, that's about it. Interesting stuff.

And now have Sin and Punishment - took 25 minutes to download...

Bugger me that was slow.

Hmmm. Interesting that there were no English Premier League teams there - just Spanish and International.
Have FIFA got the rights to everyone else?

I guess so yeah, PES has generally had to have hacks and patches applied to get all the proper team names, logos and players added. It got to the point where it was pretty much the first thing people did when they bought the game and some of the patches were mind-boggling extensive.

I'm not having any issues at all downloading updates and stuff. Are you sure it's not the wireless link to your router that's the issue? Have you tried changing the channel your router is running on?

I think you can probably delete then redownload the game to test.

Should also include the dice+random level system.

In fact, lets scrap the whole fighting thing and just have one massive cross-charecter multi-mix-up platformer-fighter game eh?

Anyone wants a perfect beat'em up on the DS get Bleach.

Amazing frantic action, online matches, download play, tons of extras and depth. This boy gets my money when it's released over here.
