Looking forward to this game. I hope the online play is not a resource hog of constant updates like the PS3 version.

Helpful Links for Hot Shots all from a japanese site, but its the most complete guide I've found so far.

We're going to get an async cag tournie or something going, yes? Seems like everyone is picking this up. Feel free to add me on psn - not getting mine until the 22nd and haven't played a hot shots golf game in probably 10 years, but I'm rarin to go!

[Krathicus]

Picking this up with my Vita next week, Very excited, looks great!

[Bivensra]

Bought the game and play through Nerf case from GameStop. I did not realize I paid $40 until this AM. O'well bought a couple of games w/ 3DS release and will do the same w/ Vita.

[JDTAY]

Pre-ordered from Amazon. This will be my first Hot Shots game.

[metaphysicalstyles]

I'm down for some CAG tournies! Feel free to add me on PSN as well (just let me know where you're from... I get a ton of requests, many are ignored).

PSN: neuroned

[JG5253]

I wasn't that interested at first but I didn't know it had multiplayer and it seems like everyone is getting it. I think I might get it now because it would be fun if we had tournies

[sinigord]

I'll be picking up Hot Shots for sure on wednesday, if anyone wants to add me on PSN, go for it.

[SynGamer]

Hey everyone. This thread is wiki'd so feel free to use the first post to organize tournaments. I'm holding out for a wifi-only bundle at $250 that includes a retail game and at least 4GB memory card. We'll see how long I have to wait.

[jello44]

I picked this up as well. Been a while since I actually had played a Hot Shots game and had some left over Amazon Credit, so I figured why not.

[combatFlexo]

Added Tournaments the main link also added specific CAGs who said "tournies and add me", I think we now need to decide a day and time. I'm not sure how to add a poll so if Syn you could add a poll. I should have my game Monday but will not have my vita until 2/22 or the 2/25.

[combatFlexo]

Its here...

and tiny. Smaller than I imagined. Now I have to wait a week for my vita.

[chicagocubsfan]

yes the box was very small

[Gamehead]

My most anticipated Vita game. I too have my copy, along with Wipeout, but won't have my Vita until next Tues.

[jza1218]

Oi, online pass? Didn't know that. I mean I'm still getting mine but jeez, now with portable games too?

[Snap]

Oi, online pass? Didn't know that. I mean I'm still getting mine but jeez, now with portable games too?

A few late generation PSP games had online passes. It's the new cool thing to do :(

[JG5253]

Destructoid gave this a 9 out of 10

[JDTAY]

I might be up for tournaments, but since this is my first Hot Shots game, I'll need time to learn to play through Story Mode, and I don't even get my Vita 'til the 28th or 29th.

[smthng]

This is probably going to be on my shortlist of day two purchases. I wasn't that into the idea, but the reviews and videos I've seen have swayed me.

Wifi unit pre-ordered... 6 days and counting.

[Mikocouch]

I'm down to play some tourneys, my psn is mikocouch. Add me up.

[Marlowe78]

Would be up for some tournaments.
PSN: marlowe78

[freddyfromutah]

I'd play in some tournaments as well. I am a little worried though, I downloaded it from the PSN, does it not include the online pass?

PSN: freddyfromutah

[combatFlexo]

@freddyfromutah - Go online and try, I'm assuming it would depending on the price you paid for it. I think its only if you buy it used you'll need the online pass.

I really like the daily tournaments, and that the game is still hot shots golf. Played about 5-6 rounds of challenge/daily tourneys. Feels like the rest out them except I can play it in bed, on the toilet, etc...

I will add everyone to main page. Once I get settled back at home I will see how to setup a tournament and how everything works.

[freddyfromutah]

I'll give it a try tonight. As for the game, its great! I have always enjoyed hot shots, and this could very easily be my favorite. The small change of earning credits and buying things makes a huge difference for me, I think it makes upgrading much more simple, and rewarding. The graphics are such a huge step forward from the PSP as well, I did not expect that, at all. Looks so nice and crisp.

[jza1218]

I'd be interested. PSN: statnut

[silentevil]

I love Hot Shots Golf. Add me in for tourneys.

psn: silentevil926
