Hot Shots Golf Vita coming to PS3 in Japan
Arcade golfer Hot Shots Golf: World International will be making the jump from Vita to PlayStation 3 in Japan. PlayStation Japan revealed the news on its website, along with a Japanese release date of November 22. Given the series' history, it's likely that we'll see a Western version of the PS3 game hitting retail shelves at some point. We've reached out to Sony for confirmation of that.The PS3 version will run in 1080p HD, and will support PlayStation Move as did the previous Hot Shots Golf game. It will also support cross-platform play, letting PS3 golfers tee off against Vita opponents and vice versa. In terms of extras, there are two new modes, including one exclusively made up of Par 3 holes. The PS3 version will also receive two new courses and two new hyper-cute, hyper-deformed characters. Aww.
Hot Shots Golf is best selling Vita game in Japanese launch
Though they may live very far away, our friends in Japan aren't so different from us in the West. Sure, they most commonly mark Christmas with a visit to KFC over a ham or turkey, but at least Col. Sanders and Santa both have white facial hair, and isn't that all that matters? Look at the Japanese Vita launch sales chart we've placed after the break (courtesy of Media Create), numbered according to their position in the total sales chart. There you'll discover that those in Japan love Nathan Drake just as much as you, making Uncharted: Golden Abyss the second biggest Vita game with 48,224 sold. What's more American than Nathan Drake skipping across the globe and killing the people he meets there? Nothing, that's what. Of course, when you see that the most popular game is the adorably animated action of Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational, and that the hostess simulator Dream Club Zero Portable beat out the Katamari Damacy game -- well let's just say you'd be forgiven for eyeing that bucket of Original Recipe with some extra suspicion.
