For those that don’t know, the football season is upon us here in Europe. Manchester United begins the defense of its title in the Barclay’s Premiership this coming weekend so 505 games wanted to celebrate. Well not celebrate Manchester United but celebrate football.

Table Football for Nintendo Wii is heading on to the pitch today as part of their celebration. Americans might call this ’Foosball’ and they commonly spin the men while playing which is totally unacceptable.

Table Football uses the motion-sensing abilities of the Wii Remote to make it feel just like you’re playing a fast-paced game of fussball in the comfort of your living room. By twisting and pushing the remotes, up to four players can take control before trying to score the perfect goal.

What’s more, this is the first ever videogame to have the support of the International Table Soccer Federation (ITSF), which means you can play the game using official table football rules or create your own custom matches. Plus, there are even official fussball tables to play on.

Table Football is available to buy today on Nintendo Wii.

KEY FEATURES

•   Fast-paced football action
•   Create your own team of players
•   Play using official International Table Soccer Federation rules
•   A range of official ITSF fussball tables
•   Multiplayer for up to four football fanatics

Now I want to head out to the pub with my mates tonight and play some futbakek, which is the Czech name for table football.

Odd that Americans call the sport soccer but the game Foosball no? Shouldn’t it be table soccer?
