The PSP version of the famous Konami game is available for free online, complete with Master League, Italian translation and local multiplayer. It is the project of a young programmer.
Now it’s possible play Pro Evolution Soccer 6 for freethe 2006 chapter of Konami’s historic football series. The version available, to be precise, is the one for PSP and you can play it directly from the browser, without installing anything. It’s all there: the initial menu with Adriano wearing the Inter shirt, the historical modes such as the Master League and even the Italian translation. You can play both alone and in local multiplayer. In short, a real dive into the past of 20 years ago, when Juventus was in Serie B, Sicily boasted Catania, Messina and Palermo in Serie A and Arsenal still had legends like Thierry Henry among its ranks. These are details that today seem to belong to another era and which contribute to making the experience even more nostalgic for those who played PES 6 when it was released.
Behind this little miracle there is OptiJuegos, young modder and content creator who enjoys optimizing and modifying vintage video games. The last on the list is the iconic Konami title, brought back in a form that is easily accessible even to those who no longer own a PSP. In a video published on his YouTube channel, the content creator explains how he achieved the feat. The choice to use the PSP version instead of the much more popular version is functional PlayStation 2since it is a lighter and easier game to run on the web. The idea, says OptiJuegos, was born after noticing that many of his acquaintances still continue to play PES 6 today. The reason is not difficult to understand. The title has aged enviablywith classic controls that are still immediate and fun today. It doesn’t need complex systems to be appreciated: just get on the field, choose a team and start playing.
The nostalgia for PES does not seem destined to disappear, therefore. This is also demonstrated by the manga launched last spring entitled That Time I Got Reincarnated in PES, in which the protagonist finds himself reincarnated within the game and sharing the football pitch with Castolo and the other heroes of the PES Master League. Characters who, for those who have spent dozens of hours building their team, have become as familiar as the champions in real life. Today, however, Pro Evolution Soccer no longer exists. In 2020 Konami changed the name and structure of the franchise, transforming it into eFootballa free title with in-game purchases that is updated periodically. A philosophy opposite to that of EA Sports FC, the former FIFA, which instead continues to propose a new chapter every year. The latest one, EA Sports FC 27, was released last September 25th.
