Natsume Announces Harvest Moon: Mad Dash For Nintendo Switch

Yees, first footage!

I'll wait for Story of Seasons.

....Sounds like a runner game. lol

Since the Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons split, there hasn't been a "new" Harvest Moon I have liked. They haven't been bad but they just feel like the other Harvest Moon-likes (yeah I know) whereas Stardew and Story of Seasons seem to have that spark.

I'm going to go with Rune Factory 5 so I probably won't be looking forward to this newer entry in the series,

Harvest Moon hasn't been good in years. They completely forgot why people fell in love with the original games. They always double down on the fantasy content, while never giving the farming aspect of it the proper attention.

Mad Dash? 🙄
Or more like Mad Attempts? 😒

@Joeynator3000
Or Harvest Moon Kart??

I wonder if they’ve been taking a look at why Stardew Valley is so popular.

I hope old school Harvest Moon just like the Snes version. We don't need high 3D models etc. Just make it cute/charming and add quests in the game so you have more goals than just spending time (hours and hours) without much motivation unless you really into it. I need more

To everyone commenting on how there hasn’t been a good Harvest Moon or hoping for this o e to be good-it won’t and they haven’t because “Harvest Moon” isn’t real Harvest Moon. They’re cash grabs made by the company that owns the name Harvest Moon, but not the actual game. The actual Harvest Moon games are Story of Seasons made by the original creators and branded the same in Japan as their original title.

@Alucard83 You can play Stardew Valley if old-school graphics is what you want.

Yikes, really wish someone would take the IP from them, the last entry was PATHETIC.

@Alucard83 You mean like the Harvest moon: friends of mineral town on the GBA?

I'll stick with Rune Factory and Story of Seasons, thanks.

I can’t shake the feeling that the “being surprised” bit is because it’s goingnto be a smart phoney kind of game. Like as in what another said above like a runner game or sometching.... Hopefully I’m wrong!

Sounds like an Overcooked version of Harvest Moon.

Natsume really should consider adding ConcernedApe to their development team. The creator of Stardew Valley could do so much by simply having the Harvest Moon brand name. Story of Seasons doesn't feel like the original to me anymore either, very standard gameplay and most of the charm is gone. But, I'd like to believe ConcernedApe could bring it back.

So a spin-off of a shell of the well-known farming simulator series? Oy vey...

(cries internally and goes back to playing HM64)

Did someone say Harvest Moon 64

I hope Natume puts some effort into a brand new HM experience. Nobody is going to buy a boring farming mobile game when Stardew Valley exists and Rune Factory is coming. They can even look to My Time at Portia for some inspiration.

And I know the Story of Seasons games are the "real" Harvest Moon and are much more polished than the Natsume ones but Story of Seasons is getting pretty stale as well.

Farming racer?

Does sound like a mini-game, not sure if it'll have much legs if so unless it's priced accordingly

Love harvest moon games hope this one comes to the UK when it comes out
