From the press release:

"The Wii version of PES will offer the same level of realism that has established the series as the definitive football title, but has been undergone a radical rethink to make the most of the Wii's motion-sensitive control system.
The game will make full use of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controllers, offering total control over every aspect of the players and their movements both on and off the ball. The clever use of the Wii controllers will allow users to send players running into space, and to distribute the ball with ease."

It will be interesting to see how the controls work, maybe with the Wii-mote and Nunchuk attached to different feet! :)
Would be more playable I think, if the Nunchuk was used to control the player and the Wii-mote used to point at where to pass or shoot.

As good a game as Godfather Blackhand edition is I hope the sequel retains the slick control system and improves on the variety of tasks and pace of the game. I think I am now spending longer getting from A to B to start a mission objective, than I spend on the actual missions themselves.
