Sony is not so dumb after all.

This game could easily outsell Crisis Core.

16 Player Infastructure mode

Oh yeah! :D

What sold the first one in Japan ?

>500k

But back then the userbase was 1m or so. I'm sure it will completely obliterate the PS3 Mingol sales. :D

How do I resize the picture I posted? :)

So, I think that seeing that it comes out in december at least 700-800k is likely. Maybe even one million, but this is not so likely. Much depends by how good PSP Slim sells and I don't think that we'll see a difference like between DS and DSL.

Agreed. A million is possible, but not very likely.

Holy crap. This better come stateside.

Saw it this morning. Looks great, especially the twelve courses. Will likely be more polished and have more content than HSG5, which I love. May buy a PSP to import this.

About friggen time!

Uh... Mingol P1 most certainly didn't have a 1:2 attach rate. :lol

It topped out at around 350k before budget reprinting. By the time PSP hit a million though, it was still under 150k iirc.

Mingol P2 will probably top out a bit higher imo, but it won't pass 500k before buget reprinting. And let's not forget launch rush seemed to push PSP efforts quite a bit too... if we look at how sequels to other high profile launch PSP fare have performed (AC!D 2, RRs 2, Musou P2nd, etc) it's not exactly encouraging...

It only took like 4 GPS Volumes ripoffs! Get it here before 2008 SCEE :(

That's great news! Hopefully the US version will follow soon...

Fuck yea1!!!

I just loved the first PSP version : )

YES!!! I'm still halfway through the first one, and I'm already wanting a sequel! Bring it stateside!

Ive just messed myself...

thank god. the sooner the better.

whoop. Count me in, a sequel to my favourite PSP game! I'll import this one.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

er.. good news

edit: more difficulty please!

PLEASE release this in the US!!!!!


PLEASE!!!!

Awesome, hopefully it will take advantage of the 333 mhz mode so we could see this game really take advantage of the PSP capabilities.

You could bet your NeoGAF account that this game is coming as Hot Shots Portable 2.




I've actually only ever played Mingol P1 - do they usually carry over courses from the previous games or does each game have it's own unique levels?

ABOUT F'CKING TIME!

Please god let SCEA bring it over untouched like they did HSG:OT.

I seriously feel like stickying this thread. SO incredibly excited. This game is still the reigning champion in the "most hours spent on my PSP" category.

One dumb question, though: Does "12 courses" mean "12 unique courses, each with a long tee/mirror variation" or "6 courses, and the long tee/mirror variation counts as a separate course?" (The latter would make the content equivalent to the original HSG:OT...not a dealbreaker, but more courses would be awesome.)

I would bet on the OG courses with new ones. Or all new ones with some classics.

It would be so cool to import characters via game save from the first version...

This is great news, I've been caning my PSP lately, bring it on.

Yep. All the other HSGs are advertised by number of actual courses. E.g., HSG5 is advertised as 6 but it has mirror as well. No question it will have twice the content of HSG5. Discussing it with Shihiko earlier and it really is like Portable is the "main" series pushing the series forward at this point (although I do quite like 5 as well). Buying a PSP the day this comes out in Japan.

Holy shit, I NEED this game.

I need a PSP suddenly.

Didn't know Hot shot golf was so popular...state side.

A Japanese friend of mine told me that Minna 1 sold 399,257 pcs in Japan

SPR08 US release please.

I love this game, this is frickin' sweet. :)

Great game and 16 player infrastructure mode will make it even better! So they're trying to go the DS online gaming way. Good stuff.

I feel a bit sad to see this one will probably have more content than MnG5 on PS3... T_T

Just bought HSG:OT for 15 bucks AU on ebay. Delivered.

Can't wait for #2

I don't understand?

Considering the "stuff" even the first portable chapter is richer than the PS3 version.
But don't forget one thing that makes, IMHO, the PS3 versione a absolutely must have: the online.

The tournaments (50 people), the friendly tournaments (8 people, live!), lobbies, courses... make this one a game that never ends and that you can keep playing untill the 6th chapter whenever...

I think he means that using infrastructure (and not ad-hoc) Sony is finally using the "official online way", as DS did since its first games.

Using a normal wifi system you should be able to play Minna 2 (like Killzone right?) with your friends all over the world without using Kai.

Ah.....

KAI

Why the hell don't you use it anymore?
Everytime I enter the PSP room I see people just playing Monster Hunter and Monster Hunter 2. This is a pity!!!!

Hot Shots Portable is one of the best games on the PSP <3

and 16 Player Infrastructure is just, holy shit. It'll give me a reason to turn on my WLAN switch on my PSP for a game (since Twisted Metal)

Lol, you guys... PSP games have had infrastructure for ages.

Love that too.

Yes but how many?
And where are the important titles with infrastructure?
Try again mate.

And let's wait for a PES/Winning Eleven with it.

Off the top of my head - one of the launch games... Twisted Metal: Head On.

And then all the SOCOM games, both Syphon Filters, Killzone:L, Medal of Honor. Nearly every single EA Sports game (Madden, NBA, PGA, FIFA, Fight Night), Sony's MLB, Soccer and NBA games, Ratchet and Clank, the ATV games, RB6: Vegas, MGS: Portable Ops and +, Virtua Tennis games, Outrun, a few Poker games, etc.

Basically, a LOT. A few are missing it, like the GTA games but there really are no shortage of infrastucture playable games.

Loved the first one (up till Dino Land, that was just fucked up).

I think I got nearly 100% in it but Dino Land at its hardest is just fucking crazy.

Well, this quickly became one of my most anticipated games for the PSP this year. Not that there's any competition to talk about.. I have Dracula X Chronicles on preorder, that's about it.

I'm so there. It will probably be my first infrastructure experience on PSP, as well as my first Mingol/HSG on-line experience.
