Konami shows Winning Eleven 7
At a press conference held in Tokyo yesterday, KCE Japan announced the hotly anticipated sequel in the Winning Eleven series, the brilliantly titled Winning Eleven 7, better known to you and us as Pro Evolution Soccer.

Strangely, one of Konami’s biggest announcements at the meeting was the fact that it has signed 80’s Brazil hero Zico, now the manager of the Japanese national side, as its cover model. “This game was obviously established by people who played and researched soccer deeply in the past. My sons are big fans of this game, and they're always bugging me to buy it whenever a new one comes out. Since I've been chosen for this, I am firm in my resolve to help show how wonderful the game is,” he said.

Winning Eleven, at this time a PlayStation 2 exclusive, hits Japan on August 7, though a PAL rework is widely expected from Euro-friendly Konami before Christmas.
