Feature What Is The Difference Between Story Of Seasons And Harvest Moon? A Handy Explainer
I was elected to weed, not to read
We've finally done it. After starting every article that concerns either Story of Seasons or Harvest Moon with a potted explainer of the schism between Natsume and Marvelous XSEED, we've finally sat down and put (electronic) pen to (electronic) paper and written out a long-form explanation of what "Harvest Moon"...

Although a prolific franchise and one that appeared on 3DS initially with a DS dual release, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning represents the first departure for the series designed exclusively for the system. Its attempts to freshen up the series were a success, in our view, as we awarded it 8/10 in our...

Pre-ordered this game
Wonder when it will be released in EU ; _ ;
Just downloaded it today!
I wish there was a UK release date, can't wait.
Overall good game. It is extremely slow starting out but it gets better!
Oh, according to nintendolife there is a release date. Like about 4 weeks from now. 23/2/2013. That would be nice - but coming soon, they deffo need to update the info on that. Us Europeans have waited FAR TOO LONG. lol
I would get this if it wasn't for Animal Crossing. :/
If the release date has been confirmed, why can't i preorder this at "Game" , my local shop, or even preorder it online?
Harvest moon , A New Beginning, hasn't been released yet. It's unavailable in amazon and Game shop told me no release date has been confirmed for the uk, if it is released at all.
This is my entry into the franchise and I am so happy it came to Europe.
What can I say? I wanted something nice, relaxing and was tired of killing things.
where to download it?
I cannot get enough of this game. Sure, most of the bachelors are tsunderes and jerks, but seriously, I don't think I have invested so much time in an HM title in a long time. Highly recommend!
As someone who still has a 3ds to play this on, I wanna expirience this story myself! Now, if you excuse me, Ima go buy the game and befriend a tsundere.
