Everybody's Golf World Tour

Here is another example of a localization that took an unbelievably long time, since the Japanese version of Hot Shots Golf 5 (known as Everybody's Golf World Tour in Europe) was released more than six months ago! How can a Golf game take that long to translate? Anyway, this game is still a lot of fun, much recommended.

Here come three new screenshots of Hot Shots Golf 5, planned to be released on Playstation 3 next march - about nine months after the japanese release...

As promised here is DjMizuhara's enormous gameplay video of Hot Shots Golf 5. A second one should follow soon.
Update: Second gameplay video is online, showing the versus mode.

Our friend DjMizuhura as always now managed to find Hot Shots Golf 5 (Minna no Golf 5) a few days before the official release date in Japan, and got his capture hardware at work immediately. Here is the quite nice and different intro video of the game, while waiting for some gameplay of course!

Famitsu this week has nothing less than 4 full pages about Everybody's Golf 5, as always for this series much awaited in Japan. The online lobby is unveiled, and it certainly does look very cute.
Update: Sony released this brand new trailer showing pretty much the same thing as these screens, only now it also moves :)

Who would have believed that Hot Shots Golf 5, of all games, would be a stunning looking game? Certainly not me, but the evidence is there with these images. The character lighting is incredibly well done.
