Ronaldinho is a Mii on FIFA 08

Ronaldinho is one of the most recognised footballers in the world right now, up there with the Beckhams, Rooneys and Kakas. Some would say he puts them all to shame, whilst others simply want to be him.

If that's you (or your football mad little brother), then jump for joy! EA have placed Ronaldinho into your hands more than ever before on the Wii version of FIFA 08. He's now a Mii and even has his own game mode, Footii Party with Ronaldinho. With this, EA introduces party games - Table Football and Shoot Off – where you can play as your very own Mii to unlock Ronaldinho and take on the champ. Each Footii Party game is created as a multiplayer, social experience designed to engage and entertain fans of all ages.

Is FIFA becoming more friendly and 'touchable' with this Wii innovation? Will this draw more fans to the franchise? Undoubtedly the answer to both is a yes, but how far that will affect the sales of FIFA 08 remains to be seen. Most interesting will be to see if there's any discernable shift in what format FIFA fans decide to make their purchase on (since many gamers these days own more than one gaming format). Will former PS2 and Xbox FIFA fans be tempted to try the Wii version this time?

Ronaldinho; he say YES!
