The Ushi No Tane websites specialize in information about the Nintendo Gameboy console versions of the Harvest Moon and Legend of the River King games. Both game genres are created and published in Japan by Marvelous Interactive. The North American localization is handled by Natsume, while Rising Star takes care of the European release.

Famitsu top 500 | Posted at 09:05 on 15 Jun 2008Famitsu (the popular Japanese magazine) has released its top 500 sold games for 2007. Number 1 was Wii Sports with over 1 million copies sold. Harvest Moon games also appeared on the list:

#052 - Island of Happiness (304,000 sold)
#223 - Tree of Tranquility (almost 70,000 sold)
#333 - River King DS (40,000 sold)
#499 - Rune Factory (almost 20,000 sold)

Rune Factory was released in 2006, so the fact that it still made the top 500 a year later is impressive

The new promos for the upcoming releases of Island of Happiness and Tree of Tranquility are ready to go. Island will get a chicken and Wii will get a recycled cow from when A Wonderful Life was released.

Rune Factory Wii has been given an official title of Rune Factory Frontier and is currently scheduled for a Japan release sometime this year. You can find more information about the game in the Announcement topic on the Rune Factory sub-forum.

The release dates for the two North American games are jumping between July and potentially August.
