Hot Shots Golf! Hot Shots Tennis! Hot Shots... X?
Sony has a new entry in its Hot Shots series of casual sports games, and it's not tennis or golf! The company opened a Japanese teaser site today promising an unveiling of the new title for this Friday.
At the page, you'll see the Japanese characters for "Minna no" above a word that's concealed by clouds. "Minna no" is the Japanese name for the Hot Shots series. It literally mean's "Everyone's."
So what could the new game be? Everyone's Soccer? Everyone's Baseball? Everyone's Bobsledding?
There aren't too many hints at the site. The game is said to be in development for PSP, and appears to be the work of Hot Shots series developer ClapHanz. In case you were thinking that this is just a sequel to Hot Shots Golf or Hot Shots Tennis, the page makes it pretty clear that the game will feature a new event.
In Japan, Friday unveils are usually leaked out through magazines a couple of days in advance, so check back Tuesday night or Wednesday morning America time and you could find out what's under the cloud cover.
But the fun won't end with the game's name being unveiled. Sony also plans on distributing a demo on Friday. This will presumably take place exclusively through the Japanese PS Store, but do a little searching and you should be able to find a way to access it even from outside of Japan.
