Ultra Minigolf gets a sequel
If you've been jonesing for more casual golf fun then you'll be happy to hear that Konami just announced 3D Ultra Minigolf Adventures 2. Coming to XBLA and PSN early this year, the sequel will tighten up the gameplay and improve the graphics of the original hit. It will also feature 4-person multiplayer locally or online. This should keep golfers busy until Tiger makes his triumphant return, but I still think that title is a bit of a mouthful. I also have to wonder if it will be compatible with Natal and PS3 Move--it seems like a perfect fit.
