Sony’s Hot Shots Golf Lands On Android Smartphones Using NTT Docomo

By Eugene . March 29, 2014 . 2:00pm

For those who enjoy the good game of golf but don’t believe in getting yourself sunburned and tired out from wandering a massive 18-hole course, there’s always been titles like Sony’s Hot Shots Golf series. Now, there’s a new Android version called Hot Shots Golf: Smart—though it isn’t quite for everyone.

Instead, it’s part of NTT Docomo’s monthly subscription “Sugotoku Contents” package (which also happens to pack in things like weather forecasts, news and… fortune-telling). If you’re subscribed to that, you’ll find the free-to-play game comes with both regular Stroke mode as well as a Challenge mode and can be controlled via the touch screen for fine-tuning of your angles and chips. You can also purchase further courses or characters and costumes within the app itself.

This isn’t the first time that the golf series has gone mobile, having graced several specific phone models in Japan long ago, but with the still-growing speed of smartphones in Japan, we might be able to see this particular mobile version head overseas later.

Hot Shots Golf: Smart is available now on Android in Japan.

Can't see anything wrong with Sony licensing out one of their older ip for a promotion on smartphones. Free money basically.

Maybe instead of making another handheld after the Vita, they will just make an awesome phone that comes with some sort of controller accessory and make games for that and have all the games exclusive to that brand of Sony phones

At least it will show that Team Ico was working on something instead of just fapping at sweaty panties

Devalues a brand.. Why would anyone buy a hot shot golf game ever again on a Sony handheld when you get it free?

This is a much smaller game with more limited features than what you can find on a sony handheld though. It's like saying people will stop buying rayman games because they can get Jungle Run on smartphones.
