Grab your clubs and get ready to tee off! I am thrilled to announce that ZEN Studios is applying the same battle-tested ball physics engine from the acclaimed ZEN Pinball to bring you the PlayStation Network exclusive Planet Minigolf.
In addition to the single player campaign, we have also included a full suite of multiplayer options – from a local hotseat mode to regular weekly tournaments and worldwide competitions where players can battle it out to see whose nation reigns supreme.

HD Trailer

Planet MiniGolf features:

• A deep and engaging single player campaign taking players through fantastically designed courses with over 140 different holes

• Worldwide Tournament Play – Set up personal tournaments with a group of friends or go online up against gamers from around the world!

• Golf Course Editor – Build, manage and share golf courses…make them crazy, challenging and wacky and then upload to share them online!

• PlayStation Move Functionality – Planet MiniGolf will be fully compatible with PlayStation 3’s upcoming motion control system, “Move”

• Multi-national Game - Countries in the world are represented on the global leader boards!

It's weird, I started this thread this morning based on the PlayStation Blog news from last October, I was waiting for some screenshots(I like putting screenshots in my threads!) and then a few hours later they announce the PlayStation Move support! Good timing!

Shin-Ra · 03-24-2010, 07:25 PM

HD Trailer and lots of screenshots here

Pretty sharp looking for a minigolf title. Looks like UE3 so hopefully it runs smoothly.

StereoMike · 03-25-2010, 01:37 PM

Cool, thanks! Some gorgeous screenshots, and a few good looking chicks! Added some in the first post.

StereoMike · 05-05-2010, 02:24 PM

ZEN Studios’ upcoming Planet MiniGolf has officially been set to launch exclusively to PlayStation Network on June 1 for $10.

Only 4 more days to wait!

StereoMike · 06-01-2010, 10:21 PM

It's time for some Mini-Putt!

StereoMike · 06-01-2010, 11:32 PM

WOW!!!! This game is so much fun!!! I can't wait for the Move!!!!

garlad · 08-25-2010, 10:21 PM

That’s right — we are proud to announce that on September 19th, we will release a free update patch that will enable PlayStation Move support in our PSN title Planet Minigolf! It’s a match made in heaven, as adding PlayStation Move to the mix adds a new level of realistic and immersive gameplay to your favorite mini golf game. Check out the trailer below to see the PlayStation Move controller in action.

So, how does PlayStation Move make Planet Minigolf better? Well, think about how you play mini golf in real life on a course with a putter and you’ll get the idea. Hold the PlayStation Move controller like a putter and putt away. The guys in the studios have worked really hard on the putting gameplay mechanic and we’ve really nailed it. Depending on how hard you swing the club, you expect the ball to go a certain distance, so we took that concept and built around it so the physics of the ball and the force driving the ball are accurate. We can’t really think of a better way to experience the PlayStation Move controller!

If you are familiar with Zen Studios, then you know that we are committed to releasing content and updates even after we ship the initial game. With that said, we invite you to stay tuned for another soon-to-be-made Planet Minigolf announcement…any guesses out there? We will leave you to ponder while you check out the new screens and video.

Good. Starting to pin down the launch titles/updates now.

Rike255 · 08-27-2010, 02:58 PM

Hmm, I might have to pick this up as my Move demo game or something.

StereoMike · 08-30-2010, 10:00 PM

I can't wait for the Move. I have a hard time getting the right speed, even with the easiest putting option, probably because of the precision putting style in PGA Tour 11, which I am used to. But thanks to the Move, both games will soon have the same putting style!

StereoMike · 09-18-2010, 12:07 PM

I just played it with the Move and just like I expected, it is much easier to putt now! And it is much, much more fun! It is a great game for anybody with a Move.

And you gotta love the automatic download feature. When I turned on my PS3 last night, the patch was already installed.

Awesome! $9.99 is a good price for a 2nd PS Move game. We just bought Sports Champs, but with 2 controllers. I have like 12 PS Move demos downloaded and installed, including Planet MiniGolf. Can't wait 'til Alex gets home so we can try it out!

partridge · 09-21-2010, 11:22 AM

I enjoyed the (non Move) demo for this, but as it supports Move I might pick it up. I bought the Bowling game and that works really well with Move.

It's great that there are so many games available at all sorts of prices for this new piece of kit. I really think Sony have done a great job with this peripheral.
