![]() In association football circles, PES/eFootball has a longstanding rivalry with EA's FIFA series. The series has consistently achieved critical and commercial success. ![]() It consists of eighteen main instalments and several spin-off style titles that have been released on many different platforms. If not, pick up the European version, Real Football here on the Windows Phone Store.Android, GameCube, iOS, PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Portable, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Wii, Windows, Windows Phone 7, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox OneĮFootball, formerly known as Pro Evolution Soccer ( PES) internationally and Winning Eleven in Japan, is a series of football simulation video games developed and published by Konami since 1995. ![]() Real Soccer costs $2.99 and you can get it here if it’s available in your region.
