Originally we expected the first DS version of cute farming sim
Harvest Moon to provide a tasty winter crop, but its release slipped away like a mad cow surfing down a muddy hill. So European agriculturists will be pleased to hear that their time to plant has finally been dated on the 13th April - check out our
review of the US version for more details of what you should expect as you attempt to turn around a failing farm in Forget-Me-Not valley.
There's also good news for those green-fingered folk who couldn't resist the temptation and have imported the game. The second DS
Harvest Moon is already in development.
Entitled
Harvest Moon: The Island I Grew Up On, this time your farming scenario will be set on an island. You won't be stranded alone though as your mum, dad, brother and sister will also be there. Other details remains scarce at present but it seems that the island setting will affect the type of crops you can grow with rice rumoured to be an option. The graphics are expected to receive a major overhaul too - the GBA-quality graphics of
Harvest Moon DS being one of our main criticisms of an otherwise enjoyable game.
Harvest Moon DS will be sprouting from the ground on 13th April. As yet there's no release date for
Harvest Moon: The Island I Grew Up On.
