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.

New DS game announced | Posted at 08:18 on 06 Oct 2009In the latest edition of Weekly Famitsu, a new Harvest Moon game was announced for Japan. From the blurry images of the latest game titles, it appears to be called "Harvest Moon: Village of Twins" ( 牧場物語　ふたごの村 ). More information about this DS game is likely to appear within the next few days.

The funny thing is, I was just thinking the other day how it has been a long time since a HM game came out in Japan. The last one was the WiiWare game back in April. Maybe MMV finally realized that flooding their market with too many Harvest Moon games was a bad thing, and they've finally decided to slow down

Luckily a lot of students have a small vacation time in November, so that gives you more play time!

Natsume will have bonus plushies available for those who pre-order Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands and Harvest Moon: Animal Parade in North America. The pig plushie is for those who buy the DS game (SI) and the duck is one of the wild animal pets from Animal Parade.

I expect they'll be given to players who pre-order the games at Gamestop and Amazon, since the last batch of plushies were given to those retailers. Watch their web sites to see when they'll be associated with the newest Harvest Moon games!

*edit*

The pre-order plushies are now available on Gamestop's web site, but not on Amazon's. I would guess that the plushies are Gamestop-exclusive this time.
