Konami Titles to Smash into the States

Konami announced today that both Rumble Roses XX for the Xbox 360 and World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 for the PS2, Xbox, PSP and PC are headed to North America. Fans can expect Winning Eleven to arrive this winter, while no specific date was given for the new iteration of Rumble Roses.

As fans most likely know, Rumble Roses is an all-female wrestling game. Konami's next generation version of the fighter is promising massively improved polygon counts, enhanced move lists, expanded gameplay modes as well as online play. Additional features include giving players the ability to choose to play as a character's "good" or "bad" persona, and the Superstar system, where the virtual crowd actually affects your fighter's performance.

World Soccer Winning Eleven 9 continues the highly praised soccer series on the PS2. This new version will feature an online play mode and a more detailed Master League mode. In addition, fans can expect more detailed player animations and new player formations.
