Starting from Feburary 28th Noon Japan time, you will be able to find Yukino in the Japanese Playstation Store for 500 yen.

However even if you are not buying her, all clients which connect to the online servers after tomorrows maintenance period will be required to download the latest version of the game.

Update [08022801]:

• Yukino’s Character Added.*
  * To use her you will need to purchase her from the Playstation Store.
  Playstation Store: みんなのGOLF 5 追加キャラクター「ユキノ」使用権：500円

I sort of saw the date coming… squinted at some low resolution screenshots in the purchasing instructions a few days back and the date of when they added Yukino to the store looked like a 20 or 28, seeing as there was no information about her being already available from my friends… it had to be the 28th. 🙂

---

Will you use her to play if she is a beginner character?

---

I’m still not sure if I want to buy Yukino. I should probably level up everyone else first…

---

Yukino is a Intermediate Character. Appears to the right of Nakajima…

---

Does she have strengths and weaknesses?
Like good at control and beaches, something like that.

---

23 Years Old, Born in Japan, 160cm, 45kg, Likes Walking, Hates Scary Stories, Lv. C Power, Lv. B Control, Lv. C Impact, Lv. B Spin, Lv. C Side Spin… Weak in the rain… Straight Mid Hitter.

Favourite Intermediate Character from now on, not that I had a favourite intermediate character in the first place… 🙂

Check out how awesome her stats are when equiped with Infinity Set. Got this from Murari if anyone knows him…

Suits my style of play perfectly. I like those stats.

---

Definitely a great level in control, but she is rather weak in curves.

---

Think of her as an upgraded Sofie.

---

Do you know if she’s only available in the Japanese Playstation Store? I can’t find any download related to Mingol in the Hong Kong store…. 🙁

---

Interesting, so she isn’t available in the Asian Playstation Store yet… I wonder if it means it is never going to happen or just a short delay?

---

I use my American PSN account to connect to Mingol. If I buy her with my JP PSN account, will I be able to access her or will I need to restart the game with my JP account?

---

If given a week I will be able to confirm this when I purchase the update. Then again, you could be daring and go for it and tell us if it works 🙂

It should work… I mean most purchases online are able to be shared among other users in your Playstation 3. One thing I am wondering is, if I purchase it then goto another persons console and download the update… then remove my account… will that enable the person to use her regardless since their install would have been patched?

---

Good question bangz, I need to know that aswell.

---

It’s a big update. Is it possible it downloads the new course and then when you purchase it just unlocks?

---

Well that is what I think happens, if that is the case then there maybe a few dodgy tricks that would unlock them for free… Unless it really needs your Playstation network account to sign it for verification.

---

More painful that they make us wait until April if that is the case!

---

Well watch the exchange rate, I believe that it would cost more for me to get you guys those point cards than that points card website. Currently the cost of the 5000 Yen card is about 5200 Yen using paying by their prices…

---

Yukino is now available in the Hong Kong store for HKD33! I downloaded her just now 🙂

---

Yeah also available in the Taiwan Store.

---

HK$33?! Less expensive than I thought! 😉

---

It is cheaper than the Japanese Store… 440 Yen.

---

Haha, maybe free of tax (patent of HK) 😛

---

Anyone want the Taiwan Store Point Card? 800NT per card…

140NT for the Yukino Update… Taiwan PSN Yukino Information.
