Natsume has updated their site.
Their coming soon section now has both upcoming Harvest Moon games on it.

Yeah but oddly they don't put the dates for when the games are coming. Just sometime in summer. Makes me a little worried that there "July 12th" date still isn't set in stone either.

That's just the way Natsume is. I'll really be amazed if they stick to the July 12th release date.

my friend (who has been watching realease dates since HM first came out) says that when the dates are pushed back in weeks and days, the release is cloer/less likely to be moved. since this move was only a month-i hope we are getting closer!

I'm sure that they won't move it .... AGAIN!!!!

While the June date was a guess, the July 12th date was somewhat more official, since several sources (including Natsume) were saying that. We'll just have to wait and see.

I hate to tell you that Nintendo isn't exactly the final word on this.

Yes she sent me a PM telling me I was wrong... Nintendo doesn't develope or publish Harvest Moon games. Natsume does... they are the ones that makes the final decision on the release date, the best nintendo can do is pressure a company to release sooner or later to try and space game releases apart from each other.

If there is anyone still in doubt about the release date, I really suggest you call Natsume yourselves. They don't bite trust me. The person I talked to was actually very courteous. Just call up, ask about the releases and you'll get the most official response to the question of release dates as you can get.

Ya know what. I bet when we are like a week away from when it is suposed to come out they will change the relese date. Grr... why must natsum be SOOOO indecisiv(sp)

What makes you think that it is Natsume always delaying the games? There are numerous factors in a game's release...production, promotion, retailers...

I'm sure they don't do it on purpose.

The quicker a game gets to market, the quicker a company makes money on it.

So are you saying you think the retailers could decide a game needs to be delayed? Natsume IS the one who decides on whether to delay a game or not. I'm fairly certain they wouldn't delay it for no reason at all, but regardless of what is actually causing the delay Natsume is the one who ultimately decides upon and changes the release dates.

Well yes but there are factors that could require the game to be delayed, effectively putting it out of Natsume's hands.

i just want the day's to go by so fast so the game will come out, i really can't wait!! YEY!!
