Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories (PC/WiiU/Mobile)

[6souls]

Natsume, a worldwide developer and publisher of family-oriented video games, today reveals the next title in the long-running Harvest Moon series, Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories. This is the first Harvest Moon that will be on the Nintendo Wii U, as well as the first Harvest Moon ever on the PC. In addition, the title will also be the first mainline Harvest Moon title on both iOS and Android.

"From the farm to the town, we wanted Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories to evoke the feeling of a classic Harvest Moon game with modern twists!" said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume. "We're also excited to finally bring the Harvest Moon series to the Nintendo Wii U, PC, and mobile platforms, where fans have definitely told us they want to see the series."

Go back to the roots of Harvest Moon in the latest installment of the series! Inspired by the old-school gameplay of the very first games, Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories will bring players a sense of nostalgia, along with exciting gameplay twists.

Tasked with the job of revitalizing a farm, players will need to befriend the villagers in town to unlock the titular "Seeds of Memories"! Seeds can be unlocked in many ways, such as giving a villager their favorite item, catching a giant fish, or by raising their first cow. Players will need to be up to the challenge of collecting all of the Seeds of Memories!

Old favorites return in the animal department with cows, sheep, and chickens, along with a horse to ride, and a dog to keep as a pet! Farmers will also have a new pet to take care of, but it isn't what they'd expect... It's a bobcat! The bobcat starts out wild, but as players befriend the animal, can they convince the bobcat to become their loyal friend?

Featuring cooking, fishing, foraging, and mining, players will need to upgrade their tools to find the highest-quality items. Players will also be able to participate in contests and festivals like the Cooking Contest and Starry Night Festival! Woo one of the ten marriage candidates – 5 bachelors and 5 bachelorettes – and find that special someone to make their farming life complete!

If you haven't played it yet, I highly suggest the "true love" edition of friends of mineral town. (see here: http://kataiki.tumblr.com/FOMT-TL)

FOMT was the only harvest moon I really enjoyed, anyway. Everything after that felt like it was lacking something. (Not counting rune factories, those have been amazing.)

No longer Marvelous right? Harvest Moon is dead.

Story of Seasons is "Harvest Moon" for anyone that played any of the older games, Natsume broke off from Marvelous and kept the Harvest Moon name since the games in Japan aren't called that anyway. So now "Story of Seasons" is what Harvest Moon was, and anything "Harvest Moon" is a new type of farm game that may or may not resemble the ideas of old Harvest Moon games.

You have that backwards. Without Natsume, HM is dead.
