It is very possible. The Famitsu scans haven't surfaced yet for the rest of us to see.

My local Japanese bookstore gets some issues of Famitsu, but usually quite a bit late.

Megaton!!!

Man, they're working on overdrive with the HM games.

Hmm... yeah, I'm just worried they are going to overload themselves. Plus at the rate Natsume is translating the games, we probably won't see most of these for years, or some may be cut altogether.

That's only if Natsume is the only one localizing them. As far as I know, nothing says Marvelous can't give the rights of one or two games to another group to translate.

In fact, isn't that what's happening with TOP? Or is that just in Europe?

Thats correct for Europe. Europe and Australia get rising stars version.

And they will be releasing 2 more this month so they are catching up to the Japanese versions.
Puzzle De Harvest Moon and Innocent Life (PS2)
After that it's the long awaited HMDSFG in Q1

Puzzle has never been released in Japan.

Pure IL does not appear on Natsume's web site as "coming soon", nor is it available from online retailers. I would imagine it has been postponed until next year.

Is it even coming to japan cause that never happened before .

They already confirmed that one of the islands is from the last game so it's possible .

I believe they would. I Just saw the new forum. Its all.....shiny.

So basically an all in one DS mix up.

Island's characters (at least it seems so. Mark & Chelsea)
RF Wifi Trading.
Again with the Island system

Hmm....

3 words.

Hates to be....

Adding a fourth,

American.....

And can't speak Japanese and has to wait for Natsume to pick up the project....

wow they keep doing games for the ds this is number 7!

Ugh Chelsea... I've never disliked farmergirl as much... Hope they have other playable characters too since I wanna play as girl but not as Chelsea (is that twisted?) Unless there's some really cool wife to marry as boy (which I don't think happening since I'm sure they'll just make new Mary, Karen, Ann, Elli and Popuri... *sigh* ) Oh but then again we don't even know if this game has marriage... (I hope it does though)... *starts lurking more in fogu forum to see in first hand if somebody has found new information*

EDIT Oh I found this! It says it has voice chat too :D

nijuunana · Post Posted: Oct 11, 2007 4:35 am

Oh. Voice chat. Haven't seen that since Diamond and Pearl...

Hmm.... This is shaping out to be interesting....

Voice chat already exists in HM: Island of Happiness, so this isn't new for a Harvest Moon game.

It sounds like if they're using the same main characters and adding a few things, this is just Kimi To Sodatsu Shima version 2, much like how there was two versions of "Magical Melody" in Japan.

I begin to think that HM:island was just some sort of a mini project as a test
for a bigger project ( I know I am wrong but I can't help it )
