Not sure if this was more game news or football news, but I know a lot of soccer fans are also gamers. Barcelona/Brazil star Ronaldinho will be the first Mii-ified athlete (see pic at left) on the Nintendo Wii system, when FIFA Soccer 08 hits this fall. I think it’s an improvement on the real thing.
I’m quite interested to see how the Wii controllers are used to simulate soccer. Swinging your arms is great for tennis, but are you going to have to lash the remote to your ankle to kick? Probably not. EA is one of the few game developers that seems to know how to squeeze good gameplay out of the Wii, so I personally can’t wait to see how it turns out.
If nothing else, that big-headed Ronaldinho is amusing.
