In a recent interview with Siliconera , Marvelous confirmed that they are in fact currently working on a downloadable title for the WiiWare platform. They were also quick to say that this upcoming WiiWare title was not a Harvest Moon game, but rather a brand new and original title.
While a new Harvest Moon game would have been an exciting announcement for WiiWare, Marvelous has long been a part of some amazing game releases over the years, so any news of an original title from them should be viewed as good news. We'll have more on this new WiiWare development project when the information becomes available.

Since I haven't a clue who these people are, I can say that I'm very excited by this news, and I can't wait to see what they come up with.
Yea I don't know these people nor have I played a Harvest Moon game before.
They've done a lot of Japanese rpgs over the years. They're not very well-known outside of Japan (except among hardcore JRPG fans), but I'm anxious to see what they come up with for WiiWare.
a Marvelous Entertainment game that is not Harvest Moon? interesting
the article also reminded me how much I am looking forward to vanillaware's Oboro Muramasa Youtoden
And one of them worked on, or at least published, NO MORE HEROES!
Oh and that King Story game as well.
Yeah...I hope the Wiiware game has a name that make more sense, because it's going to be tough to recommend to my friends if my tongue has to get into a wrestling match with the G-D damn title!
Wow, I can hardly believe it. They are working on a Wiiware title. And on top of everything it is downloadable. Could it be that it is a... ...video game?
Well, they really do not reveal too much. If I can wish for something, then I'll say an jRPG. And please no remake with 8-bit graphics. Thank you.
I had to stretch that news as far as it would go.
Im a fan of Harvest Moon so I hope this game is as good as the games in tht series. Hopefully it has RPG elements similar to Havest Moon games.
Why would they release Harvest Moon on VC/Wiiware when they can retail it for $50? Its just like Square Enix. Excpet I like some Square Enix games. And not Harvest Moon. Let's hope for something interesting.
On a side note, the Harvest Moon series seems like a perfect match for WiiWare. The format lends itself to small block size and would probably fit more nicely into 2008 without a $50 dollar price tag. Me want.
sweet, I love the harvest moon games
Wait, Marvelous? I thought it was Natsume....oh wait, that's the publisher. (but I'm serious, I can't recall ever hearing the name Marvelous before....)
I hope they will do a Valhalla Knights spin off... mabey online.
Awesome, another fairly large developer for the WiiWare.
Every little bit helps!
The only games I remeber from Xseed was the Wild Arms games, and not much else. Never heard of Marvelous before, though I apparently know their work.
I got a feeling that we'll be expecting a Harvest Moon-esque game, or maybe a strategy game? Eh, I don't know.
@Corbie
Thats the Sainsburys or Tesco slogan,I can't remember which.
Being a big fan of some of their games and the Harvest Moon series, I am excited. I hope this is a sign of things to come, perhaps Atlus will take note of this unknown game does well.
@Snorlax
I think my heart would explode if Atlus brought something to Wiiware. (thats a good thing)
