Gallery: Harvest Moon's New "Cozy" Switch Bundle Shares First Screenshots Ahead Of June Launch

Okay, looked decent.
I wonder if there will be same gender marriage in this cozy bundle.
Also, I saw Luke from Lost Valley from the screenshot above, indicated the cozy bundle have all the DLC inside.

I find it weird enough they're even bothering to port these, given Winds of Anthos was the best-received nu-Harvest Moon game Natsume's done and they've only just started shedding the cheapy-mobile-game-cash-in label so it's weird to regurgitate a couple of said cheapy-mobile-game-cash-ins, but charging that much for them is especially just, "What, huh, why?" I'd figured for sure even with two games this would be like a $30 thing.

@Lizuka Completely agree. Winds of Anthos was surprisingly good. Why are they taking a backwards step?

Money grab. Sad days for the franchise that spawned one of the most popular gaming genres.

@Burning_Spear
Actually, this cozy bundle can be my second chance to get the bundle with All DLC inside considering I didn't have a chance to purchase the DLC of Lost Valley 3DS version once the 3DS eshop games get closed.

I don't know exactly what it is, I don't play this franchise unfortunately, but I really dig the look of high-res with better textures from DS era and 3DS era games, I look really good. It's like all the new games have too many polys And it loses a lot of the charm.

@Danrenfroe2016 The DS-era games were still being overseen by the series' creator, and the developer still valued the series for something more than a money grab at that point. Natsume (Harvest Moon) is just producing cheap knockoffs at this point and asking people to understand that they're not a competent developer, while Marvelous (Story of Seasons) allowed the entire BokuMono team to switch to Rune Factory, leaving a poor third-party development team in charge of the SoS titles.

The games fans knew as Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons died with Trio of Towns.

The art style is simply horrendous.

I would so very much rather see Harvest Moon Magical Melody or Grand Bazaar come to switch, but maybe those are under the “other” owners 🤔

“ This new package, now optimised for Switch”

Considering these weren’t even optimized on their original release, I feel doubtful they are now either but I get this is the PR speak they’re sharing.

It was unfortunate too when A New Beginning was great.

easy skip imo

Comes with an exclusive pre-order bonus!

You know like that cow that was supposed to come with Winds Of Anthos but never did... I mean a standee is easier to do but still, brings back bad memories of last time.

Not sure if I'll pick it up or not yet... I'd like to see Natsume redeem themselves but relaunching old games isn't how they are going to do it. Might just pick it up to support them and hope their future gets better.

@Kiyata Those two are pre-schism, so any re-release would involve the "other owners".

Guess Preorder for the Acrylic Standee before it's gone. Sucker for these farm sims. I might not finish but like enjoy them when I can. I got both DS games of it and did play it as well.

Natsume Store for $65.00 and you'll also receive a free Acrylic Standee

Not sure where that price was but I didn't pay that much...yikes...>!!!!
That better 4k60fps and have sniff smell included with it.

I can't imagine ever wanting to play Harvest Moon games back-to-back regardless of quality, but whoever their target audience is I hope it sells well.

Yup, looks like the 3DS games alright.

@Slobbert
Pardon?
I like cozy games like Animal Crossing New Horizons, Story of Seasons games, Harvest Moon games, The Sims games for relaxing gameplay and I'm adult 40 years old.

@Burning_Spear wow. Seems like a lot of developers / franchises have lost their way in the last year or two. Sad.

@Isenlia natsume must hold a special place in your heart. Or is it just harvest moon? I’ll probably pick up on a sale to support them, but i did enjoy of what i played on the 3ds.

@shining_nexus I grew up playing the old Harvest Moon games and have always been a fan since. I really like the genre, I know the whole Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon split up thing but I'd love it if we have two companies putting out quality games.

@Isenlia same, snes hm was my intro to the farm sim genre and got me hooked. I like how modern hm is creating its own identity and it seems like they’re improving with each new game. I personally would love a stardew 2, but who knows when that will happen.
