The release date has been announced on Natsume's website! It's November 6, 2012! It's on the bottom of the new ANB page! =D

Now, I have a question. How many of you plan to get the special anniversary edition? It comes with a 12" cow plushie.You can get the special 15th anniversary ANB through Natsume's website.

Here's their post from their facebook:
1. When will ANB be released?
Harvest Moon: A New Beginning will be released in North America on November 6th, 2012

2. What system is it for?
Harvest Moon: A New Beginning is exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.

3. What plush comes with ANB? How much will it cost?
There are two different options:

a) You can get a FREE Plush Yak by pre-ordering Harvest Moon: A New Beginning from participating retailers, such as GameStop (GameStop.com), Amazon.com, and Walmart.com. Be sure to double check before pre-ordering that they are offering the Free Plush Yak. In addition, you can also pre-order at Natsume.com starting on September 24th, 2012. The retail price is $39.99. Retailers will not ship outside North America.

b) You can get a Premium 12” Plush Cow when you purchase the Harvest Moon: A New Beginning 15th Anniversary Edition exclusively from Natsume.com. Pre-ordering for the Harvest Moon: A New Beginning 15th Anniversary Edition will begin on September 24th, 2012. The retail price is $49.99. This will not ship outside the USA.

Please note, whether you pre-order/purchase Harvest Moon: A New Beginning with the Plush Yak, by itself, or the Harvest Moon: A New Beginning 15th Anniversary Edition, the game is identical. There is no special version of the game. They are all the same.
I am not sure myself. I was planning on pre-ordering the regular edition for the yak plushie, but now I don't know what to do! Dx

Edited for typos...>.> I got excited. XD
Edited to add the date to start pre-ordering, added information on the game itself.

YES! I can't believe it's so early, woo~

I'm in Canada so I can't get the anniversary edition either, but I'd rather the yak plushie than the cow anyways. Does anybody know if the anniversary edition is going to have different cover art or something, or just the different plush?

edit: Apparently pre-orders from Natsume will be available on September 14th for the anniversary edition, so either way I guess we'll see then if it is any different!

Yay!

I'm so excited the release date has been announced!

I've already pre-ordered from Gamestop. So I'm getting the normal edition.

I don't know which version I'll get yet, probably the 15th anniversary version just because I'm a sucker for special editions. I'll definitely be pre-ordering though.

I think it has the same cover art, looking at Natsume's website. They have both the regular edition and the anniversary edition side by side on their store website, and they have the same covers.

I have no idea, sorry. =( You could try sending them an email. They have responded to emails in the past from members of this site. I don't know how long it will take for them to respond, though, if they ever do. =(

Probably not. The game boxes are always saying the NA copies of the games are only for sale in America, Canada and Mexico.
