Lot of licensed games there.

Harvest Moon for Wii U!!! Finally!!!

Could you wait until after you play the game first?

Nice nice. I wish more of Japan's publishers supported this generation of nintendo like Natsume

Well if i recall the medabots were confirmed a while ago so we will probably be getting the medabots games.

Harvest Moon: normal sized head edition!

Natsume is dead to me. They no longer have my business.

XSeed gets all my money now.

@ThomasBW84 hey Tom! can you please reach out to the folks at Natsume and point out that with tomorrow's wii u update, it will make 3 out of 4 weeks that an Snes vc game was posted(in the states)! Bacause I'm trying to understand what that article was all about a month ago regarding that Natsume was stating that Nintendo's interest in the snes was waning? I think I can speak for a lot of fans that we would LOVE to see POCKY & ROCKY 1&2, spike mcfang and other Natsume snes classics on wii u!! Great classic games, expensive on eBay and would be a day one purchase for me! I would love to see a follow up on this subject? Thank you in advance sir!!

Finally, here comes Medabots!!!

I'd be okay with Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA VC...

They also have CIMA: The Enemy a good game that no one played.

I'm definitely hoping for another unlikely localization, like Umihara or A-Train!

Quite used to this logo after playing a lot of Yumi lately on 3DS.

Harvest Moon Wii U!

Only title I want is Pocky & Rocky...

@Blast Bruh, it's a knockoff harvest moon.

Guys Natsume is not the people who made the original harvest moons. Marvelous are. So please keep your expectations low to avoid disappointment. IF it's a good farming sim, I may give it a try. If it sucks as hard as the latest entry on the 3DS, I won't even play if it is given out for free.

Wait, I thought Natsume said they were backing off of the whole Virtual Console scene.

What if's Rune Factory?

Oh man...today I was just thinking of wanting a HM game on Wii U, but I want it to look visually stunning. More like AWL.

Here's to hoping for a Harvest Moon Wii U announcement! Rune Factory would be a fantastic bonus but I completely do not expect that. I loved ToD on the Wii! Still need to get my character married off there.

Harvest Moon 64 please. In Europe. Instant buy.

So, the Bokujo Monogatari team works for Marvelous.
The Rune Factory team now works for Marvelous after Neverland shut down, and worked on Forbidden Magna (Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven)

I have absolutely no idea what Natsume is going to do with whatever remains of their portfolio.

I hope they release Friends of Mineral Town

Yay Natsume! Good to see Natsume hasn't abandoned ship on home consoles. I'm really looking forward to Gotcha Racing in about a month in the Eshop.

@DarthNocturnal
You're correct, the ones from Natsume starting from Lost Valley are only Harvest Moon in name alone now. They own the name, but not the franchise they've been publishing under it all these years (Bokujo Monogatari). I don't know if they still have rights to the old games or not, but it seems so since VC/PSN games are still up and listed under their name.

As for DS/Wii games not feeling like Harvest Moon, I'd say they generally do, they've just experimented with most of the handheld ones a bit too much. Animal Parade is probably one of my favorites through.

Am I the only one that wants a Magical Melody sequel on Wii U? To me one of the biggest factors in Harvest Moon is its charm. And Magical Melody was one of the most charming entries To me. Its art style was adorable beyond words.

Harvest Moon for Wii U!!!!

woohoooo sell those consoles!

Definitely interested in VC offerings, but they can keep their in house developed games like the last "Harvest Moon" they put out. Twas garbage. They should stick to localizations.

Possible good stuff!

@Spideron I hear ya! Love that game.

I'm still hoping for Harvest Moon 64, though a new Wii U Harvest Moon could be good too.

maybe they will release "WWF no Mercy " for the n64 vc or harvest moon!

@whodatninja @Blast probably not since natsume lost the right to actual harvest moon games

I really hope it's a new Harvest Moon game for Wii U but if it's anything like Lost Valley, I couldn't care less. They need to stick with what made Harvest Moon amazing in the first place, like Marvelous did with Story of Seasons.

@Geekgasm_Inc I could definitely get behind another Harvest Moon like Magical Melody, I loved everything about that game!

Everyone wants a new Wii U Harvest Moon. Here I am just hoping they release Friends of Mineral Town on Wii U Virtual Console.

If it's not Rune Factory, then bleh. TwT

and i still say that GBA V.C. should come to the 3ds e shop and keep handhelds on a handheld device. this would help Nintendo BIG time and we all would buy GBA games so that mean much more purchases and much more happiness yo us all.

I have a feeling that the Wii U stuff will just be virtual console releases, and not a new retail game. I'd be ecstatic if they did a new Harvest Moon for Wii U though. I'm just not getting my hopes up.

I hope they choose Harvest Moon 64 over Friends of Mineral town. Being both the same, would make sense that they choose the updated version.

But, the original is a lot more fun and entertaining to play; I believe they referenced drinking in it, too, and forgot to censor it as they did before.

It might look a bit grainy, but emulators can not run it at full speed at all and nobody has done an injection on it for the Wii. I want to play it real badly.
