Konami's DS football game has been given a new release date in Japan.

Winning Eleven DS, the online-enabled DS version of Konami's seminal football series, is back on the map. After having been surreptitously dropped from its original September release, Konami updated the official Japanese website for the game with its new date. On November 2nd Japanese gamers hungry for portable football action on their DS will finally be able to pick up Winning Eleven DS. The game will still come with a bundle option that includes a limited edition black DS Lite produced with special artwork.
