It may just be a golf game, but it’s one of the best in the Vita launch line-up.
Despite its colorful and inviting presentation, Hot Shots Golf has always been about providing a near-simulation golf experience. Like real golf, every shot counts. In order to post the lowest scores and win the most tournaments you must analyze the wind, the course’s construction, its slopes, and even the weather conditions. Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational carries the torch to the PlayStation Vita providing nearly the exact same tight experience the series has offered for years.
Could the Online Pass be coming to handhelds in North America?
The PlayStation Vita was recently released in Japan with a North American and European launch coming this February. Since the Japanese launch, the internet has been abuzz with information regarding the hardware and software as it has been released in Japan. While most of the buzz pertains to information that was already well known, Destructoid discovered something not previously publicized about Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational – that the game requires an online pass to play online.
Launch line-up may hint at what North American gamers could expect on February 22, 2012.
Sony has been giving Europe a lot of love when it comes to the PlayStation Vita, especially with the recent Vita-centric event held in London where Michael Denny, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Studios Europe, announced the first party European Launch Line-up.
