Legendary Eleven Brings The Golden Age Of The World Cup To Switch This June

Has potential, too bad it’s not licensed for real names and likeness but might be fun

@Equinox the only way that game runs on the switch is it has to be streamed via Konami servers.

@Equinox same. Would love that on the go

@Equinox the perfect opportunity would have been now, since they finally ditched last gen versions as well. Although the loss of the CL and EL licences doesn't fill me with confidence about the future of PES, I'd give my money to EA instead since they are at least bothered-for now

Sounds amazing. Hope it turns out good.

This looks great. I would love it if Konami gave us an International Superstar Soccer Collection. I loved those games.

I’ll buy it.

Im hust waiting on inazuma eleven

That trailer makes it look 'so bad it's bad'.

The concept is fine, but the execution looks poor. "We've got nothing to show other than the simplistic passing and character animation, so we'll just spam a load of overhead kicks to try and suck you in".

Hmm this could be great! I love a good arcade style sports game.

I'm getting NBA Playgrounds vibes from this...I'll wait for a review

@gcunit agreed - although Cameroon Italia 90 and retro Russian kits did please me - if we can edit names and they have loads of retro kits I could be interested.... basically if I can recreate 90 World Cup I am in

This looks like it could be really good. Hope it realises that potential!

Come on... at that price this game sounds and looks great! Almost none football game back then had license for anything, that adds up to the fun. May be a little repetitive as those original games were. Can’t replace FIFA at all.

The only football game that truly grabbed me was virtua striker on gamecube, id love to see that make a comeback

Nintendo World Cup?! Nice.

@Stocksy Me too, man! Italia 90 is still my favourite World Cup

Just buy Fifa 18 if you still haven’t. It’s 20 pounds

@The_Pixel_King it looks like it’s based loosely on that World Cup from the kits. To be able to edit squads and recreate my panini folder - that would be amazing.

So many characters at that World Cup...

I wish there was a bigger game of that type (arcade football). Why can't Nintendo do one? How many more tennis games are we going to get?!

I’ll probably get grab this until Sensible Soccer comes to the Switch (or Sociable Soccer, as it is now known)

@1UP_MARIO As far as I'm concerned, Fifa is a complete bore. I was into PES in the 00's and I just never managed to transition. I need Nintendo to come and save the day but I might be waiting for a while...

I’m pretty excited at this, especially considering the price point. I hope it plays ok.

@Bondi_Surfer Wow didn't know Sensible Soccer was still a thing! That's probably the best PC soccer game I've played. Very good gameplay for the time. Deserves a remake if that's what it is

@WaitroseDad64 you’ll be waiting forever.

@1UP_MARIO I thought the same about a Shaq-Fu sequel and yet...

We all read Winning Eleven (PES) at first

This looks really good. Scotland are even in there too seeing as we used to actually qualify for tournaments back in the day. Day one for me!

@gortsi I don't think konami losing the UEFA license actually changes things.

They never used it correctly and to be honest they wasted it. It's better that EA have it as like you said, they will use it properly.

If this has online multiplayer then it's an instant purchase for me.

I don’t like much simulators like FIFA so this game with its arcade like play style is quite appealing to me but... I really dislike that art style. I just can’t stand it so I don’t see myself buying this.
Inazuma Eleven looks way more appealing to me.

All this game did for me is make me hungry for INazuma Eleven lOL

i rather spend my money on quality sports games, we dont life in the early nineties anymore.

I love the idea of this.

I don’t like the models or the animations at all.

Needs classic players, I’m guessing they’re not included as they weren’t mentioned in the trailer?

nearly impossible to acomplish for any developer.
fifa have all licenses including recently konamis champions league lincense.

kinda sad that their is no competition anymore.

There is no real competition among sports games anymore. One company gets the rights to make a game based on the "official" big leagues and that is that. No one else is allowed to make the same kind of game, and thus no competition to make those games truly better.

Wow, any game that names ISS as an inspiration sounds immediately interesting to me!
That said, the gameplay doesn't even remotely seem to be related to ISS.
And I I assumed with 'Legendary Eleven' in the title the game actually had licenses for legendary players like Pélé, but apparently it doesn't. How about giving the game a proper name?

I might give this a try, a demo would be nice.

@Heavyarms55
Well there's still PES, but I agree with you. Apart from NBA, EA Sports are dominating everything with their power and wealth
E.g. Konami can't get all the rights because EA has exclusive deals. Sadly, Konami themselves turned into a poopy company and don't put that much effort into PES anymore, because it seems fruitless I assume. Nowadays most people simply buy the game that has all licenses and ignore everything else.

@kobashi100 I really don't understand Konami though. They put out 3 (!) PES games on the 3DS with its s...y nub before they called it a day and I assume they wanted a slice of the FIFA sales which actually put out two more games after Konami stopped. Now that we finally have a handheld with proper sticks and all the necessary buttons and FIFA is making bank they don't even bother.

@gortsi definitely is strange. Gotta admit I was shocked that PES 2019 was not announced for switch.

Shame as PES has the superior gameplay. Still though, konami are annoying. Yeah EA has more licences but konami still could have included unlicensed teams. No Celtic in PES for years now is just a joke for example. There is no reason why konami cannot include tons of unlicensed teams and let the community edit them. The bundesliga is the only league which they cannot do this with.

@WaitroseDad64 I played Sensible Soccer on the Amiga for hundreds of hours - easily my favourite game (and a real Atari joystick breaker). Sociable Soccer is by some of the original guys (I think) and is an updated version, but similar enough to the original - it’s been in development for years and is in beta or alpha on Steam, and they’ve said they’ll port to Switch. That’s all I know!

I'll save my cash for PES

Looks like a cheaper NBA pl;aygrounds if that's possible.

I thought this is a Stranger Things game...

I’m sorry but this doesn’t look good at all. I’m actually surprised by the comments.

@Equinox Agreed, always prefered PES myself, even from the days it was called ISS.

@kobashi100 On playstation (and PC I assume) you can just import mod files that include real team names replacing all the fake ones (especially the Premier League) plus a lot of other leagues with real names and everything-including the Bundesliga. You can't do that on XBOX and I think it would be very difficult on the Switch as well.

@gortsi I know about mod files yes. What I am saying is that konami could include lots of unlicensed teams just as standard straight out the box on all versions. For people who can't use mod files they could then just edit the teams themselves just like they do with the Premier league.

Like I said, the bundesliga they cannot do this but other leagues they can.

Going forward they should really look at them ashes cricket games and see how it allows the community to edit everything with ease and not even need mod files.

@kobashi100 ah got you. Yeah I used to do that in the good old PS2 games, creating teams from scratch and editing everything for whole weeks during the summer.

@kobashi100 I don't know if you read the news but PES got the licence for the entire Scottish premier league alongside 8 others:https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-05-23-pes-2019-has-nine-officially-licensed-leagues-including-the-scottish-top-flight
Unless they're holding back some big surprise for E3, this doesn't bode well for any of the big ones
