Konami has confirmed it is to expand its PES 2009 line-up with the release of a Wii version in Spring 2009.

Work is underway on a series of advances and Konami promises to affirm PES 2009 as the definitive football title for the format.

Building on the unique control system of its predecessor, PES 2009 expands on the basic concept of players controlling both the player with the ball and those around them. PES 2009 will bring the user closer to the game by introducing different control methods which cater for a wide range of play styles.

PES 2009 for Nintendo Wii will feature a number of key additions, with an enhanced shooting system offering more control while remaining as easy to use as last year's version.

The development team has also reworked the defensive elements of the game, with more control over defenders and more ways to close down attacking threats.

A new AI system has also been implemented and results in more sophisticated and intuitive movement from team mates according to the player's commands.

PES 2009 will be released for mobile phones in Autumn, and for Wii in Spring 2009.
