Running?

So in the beginning of the game I could run!
It like, had something to do with the "B" button, but I have no idea how to run anymore.
Can anyone else run, or is it something weird with my game?

You press the L button (On the back left side of your DS i think.) That button will switch you from walking to running, or the other way around i think.

No words for how hard I laughed.

You press the L button, also known as the left shoulder button, which toggles between walking and running.

The B button was the button used for running back in Harvest Moon DS and SI. You haven't noticed though that it pretty much got the function of the A button in those games, i.e. confirming/talking/etc?

I just find it a bit weird. I usually try out all the buttons in a new game to figure out the controls.

While you'll ususally want to run everywhere, just remember to go back to walking when you're working in your crops. I still can't believe you can hurt your crops in this game by running over them.

My L button is becoming harder to get to work. I'm pretty sure that the upcoming game, HM:TOTT, requires you to use to L button to toggle between walk/run, so I just hope my button holds out a while longer because I don't want to have to ride my horse everywhere.

Sorry to crush your hopes but ToTT is even worse. In ToTT, at least in the jap version, you have to HOLD DOWN the L button to run. No toggle. Similar to how you hold down the B button in HMDS to run.

Wait, I looked it up on Cher's guide. It's the same as GrB.

Natsume's actually gonna change the running from running down to toggle?
So they DO know how to do something for their fans once in a while.

Then again, ToTT hasn't been released yet in the US so i don't know how reliable that info is.

Are you sure Natsume would be allowed to change controls in the game?
