Harvest Moon: One World Launches On Switch In March, First Screenshots Shared

Story of Treasons.

After stardew valley.. not really that interested

Who cares about the game? I want the chicken!

I would never expect a Harvest Moon game to have cutting-edge graphics, but do they really always have to look like PS2 graphics?

To Hell with those disgusting graphics!

Before anyone asks, this is the crap version by Natsume who owns the name Harvest moon. The true Harvest moon is now called Story of season (I used to always get confused)

Normal classic Harvest Moon style.

@Clammy 100% agree with you. Stardew Valley made me forget this franchise.

I may add that rune factory also beats widely Harvest Moon nowadays.

How does the Harvest Moon I played on the GameCube as a kid look better than this? This might be HD but it's more like a mobile game.

Dang it I was gonna by to get this as a gift for someone for Christmas, did I misunderstand the release window or was it delayed?

I tried Story of Seasons and it just made me want to go back to Stardew Valley.

I will just wait for the new SV update.

Game looks horrible, but the chicken...

It sucks how much success Natsume is apparently having with their shoddy knock-offs, considering they STILL share space with Story of Seasons.

This looks like a PS2 game.

There are other sim-life games I'd rather play on Switch.

The chicken is a trap! That's not the real Harvest Moon, it's a knock-off wearing its skin!

No thank you. Just because you guys own the harvest moon license does not make you the harvest moon developers.

@Screen Nah, I forgot the first date they gave (November?) but I think they delayed it after the backlash they got from the first trailer they released. That, or it was just a placeholder. Either way, I’m hoping they use the time to make it a polished experience. I enjoy Natsume’s ideas, if not always the execution.

I like the look of the screenshots, story of seasons friends of mineral town i really enjoy and i have never played any harvest moon games. So since this game is something similair to SoS i'll keep an eye on it to see how it fairs.

I haven't touched Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons since I started playing Stardew Valley because SV always adequately satisfies the farming sim itch. Looking forward to the next SV update.

@StardusterEX Oh that would be good if they took extra time to polish it, the first trailer did look extremely rough. These screenshots look nice, but it's hard to judge from still pictures.

Also hey, it looks like Natsume has finally added skin color options for the player.

Story of Seasons is on my backlog. This looks a bit odd. Will probably need a review

The whole this isn't really Harvest Moon stuff aside. How do they not realize every game they've released after the separation has looked like babies first video game garbage? Even if it's a good game looking like this I wouldn't give it a second look.

(Very Unpopular Opinion)
Well, not bad for this "Harvest Moon" game by Natsume.
Kanoa looks hot from the screenshot.
I want to know all the bachelors as i will hunt for husbando.
But i will keep my eyes peeled for another screenshots and trailer.

Why does it look so...terrible? It looks like Gameboy Advance or DS era graphics. Theres no life or soul to it,..its just flat.
At least Stardwaw valley looked alive and detailed even in 2d.

Friends of Mineral Town on Switch was pretty good, I'll admit. I was grouchy about it and held out for a bit, but I took the plunge and bought it a couple weeks ago. I'm over a year in and it's been a fun time. Graphics were much better in motion. Sounds like a cop-out, and I was totally a skeptic, but it turned out to be true.

People still saying it looks like a cell phone game or whatever most likely haven't played it, and that's just the cold truth, say what you want. All of these farming sims have the over stylized graphics these days, some are just more hand-drawn and some are more computerized and rounded. People don't drag Stardew Valley through the mud for looking like a SNES game, so I don't get the hate. FoMT in motion reminded me a lot of HM 64's graphics, and for me that was pretty nice.

So I'll support them on this.

@rallydefault Oh I've seen people say they only play Stardew Valley on the PC because there they can replace the graphics.

But yeah people will complain more about this one in specific by default, it's just the status quo. It honestly doesn't look that different from Friends of Mineral Town on the Switch.

Ehhh... the awesome artwork gave me hope, but I shouldn't have expected any substantial improvement from Natsume.

@Eel
Yep, and I just realized my original post I said Story of Seasons when I meant Friend of Mineral Town specifically lol my bad gotta fix that

Article comments are generally where people go to hate, and if it's video games I'd wager it's a majority of people who haven't even played the game (or in this case the closest current playable game by the same company). People are gonna be people. Live and let live, is what I say, but dang it does get annoying.

I can't help but wonder if these people ever stop and realize how nonsensical they are.

No thanks. After stardew Valley there will be no other farming game i will ever need. Except maybe stardew valley 2.

Maybe i will give it a try, the graphics was improving compare to their previous games lol. but the storyline still lame. unlike story of season there's a plenty of task/unique task that need to be accomplish and the SOS graphics is no chill, its awesome and also the soundtrack use in SOS is worth listening.

Many people here in comment section was giving negative comment about the graphics of this new HM, but at the same time they enjoying the graphics of Stardew valley lol.

@RPGamer
I think this "Harvest Moon" caught my little attention.
But i still waiting for upcoming trailers and gameplay video when the game has been released.
Definitely not day one but wait and see approach.

I’ll give it a try ..

@nessisonett lmao xDD

seriously..the game looks okay??? still gonna wait until it's release, gonna get Carmel or ooh chocolate popcorn to see how it flop- i mean does good?? e ue;;...lol..but um i see they've used that card..i really want that chicken plushie..i NEEDS IT <3

Ps2 games looked better than this, this looks like a ds game

@rallydefault That's not the same company, mate. Marvelous makes Friends of Mineral Town and the ones we grew up with. Natsume just used to localize them for the west, now XSeed does. I'm still hoping Natsume will impress us, but don't compare two different companies and treat them as one lol. And tbh, the price just for the plushie makes it worth buying for me. They don't skim on the sizes of their plushies.
