Comment of the game producer

Thank you very much for the great prize.

World Soccer Winning Eleven 2008 is the work of our Winning Eleven Production of Konami which newly joined in the next generation machine market in earnest.

I prepared, but still it was quite a difficult long journey more than when PS1 became PS2. But it was a delightful thing for me as a creator to be able to reproduce something that I have endured so far.
It's not convincible workmanship by any means, but still, I have a feeling that I have done something I should have done.

By receiving a wonderful prize such as "excellent prize", I'm glad that I have produced Winning Eleven 2008. I will deliver another exciting Winning Eleven every year to users.
Please expect it.
