Pro Evo Coin-Ops To Settle Pub Disputes​



Bravo, Konami. This is a stroke of genius.


Konami Digital Entertainment B.V has announced test versions of its new Pro Evolution Soccer arcade machine have been released into two locations.

Based on the multi-million-selling console game, the coin-op version of Pro Evolution Soccer has been specially created yet retains the series' famed physics and gameplay.


Might sound half-assed at first glance, but seed these in pubs across Britain and they'll print money.

Full press release after the leap.

Pro Evolution Soccer shoots into UK arcades


Bespoke arcade version of Konami's best-selling console football game to test in key locations

Konami Digital Entertainment B.V has announced test versions of its new Pro Evolution Soccer arcade machine have been released into two locations.

Based on the multi-million-selling console game, the coin-op version of Pro Evolution Soccer has been specially created yet retains the series' famed physics and gameplay. Entitled Pro Evolution Soccer Arcade Championship, the two-player machines can be found at the Hollywood Bowl on the Finchley High Road, and at The Rocket venue on Euston Road.

Pro Evolution Soccer Arcade Championship enjoys all the close control and intuitive gameplay of the popular Konami Pro Evolution Soccer series, whilst introducing new elements via Konami's innovative e-AMUSEMENT online network system. The e-AMUSEMENT process links machines all over Europe to one central server, and facilitates data saving and networked play between units. The release of Pro Evolution Soccer Arcade Championship marks its first use in the UK, with players using e-AMUSEMENT cards (sold separately) to save data, and buy new players. The cards also allow users to play pan-European opponents in real time, while Konami will also be hosting knock-out tournaments in the future.

The two test sites will mark UK fans of the Pro Evolution Soccer series' first chance to experience the arcade version and its online elements. Players can select from both licensed international and club teams, with every player in the game realistically recreated in terms of speed, ability, close control, shooting, etc. While there are also varying levels of CPU opponent for the player to compete against, in addition to the network and two-player modes. Uniquely, Pro Evolution Soccer Arcade Championship also allows existing fans of the series to plug in their own gaming controller, allowing them to use the same controls as in the home versions of the game.

Following its initial tests, Konami will widely release Pro Evolution Soccer Arcade Championship later this year, with the e-AMUSEMENT system go live shortly after.

Good idea in theory I guess but to be honest, for the hardcore PES player why would you want to buy the game for your PS2 and then shell out even more money to play it in the pub, I cant see it being any less than £1 a go, then pay more money to buy the e-AMUSEMENT card.... at the very least they should have teamed up with sony and put memory card ports into the machine, don't know how feesable that would have been but certainly for me it wouldnt make me feel like i'm shelling out even more money to play a game that i have at home.

Girlfriends... prepare to be left chatting to your girlfriends while all the boys crown round an arcade machine and do exactly what they'd be doing if you hadn't gone out that night!

Having said that I very rarely go to pubs so what do I know!!!

Great idea to promote the Pro Evo name - as long as they don't make it arcadey to play, keep it real Konami....

well its a good idea, but i don't know, hmm, i can't imagine playing PES that way, i mean is there anyone who plays PES without changing something or patching something? i can't really tell unless i see it on the floor, in general it worth the try.

meh. Don't really find this even remotely enticing...but then again, that might just be due to the fact that I don't really care for coin-ops in general. ;)
