Any Harvest Moon Fans?

Harvest Moon: Beloved by Nintendo fans, often picked up by casual gamers, drooled over by teenage girls.

It's a pretty awesome series. I really hope the 3DS game is a remake of 64; that's the best game in the series in my opinion.

I've only played two of the games (three if you count the sequel to A Wonderful Life, but they're more or less the same thing), which are both of the ones on GameCube, but I have to say I do love the series. There's a certain simplicity to it that I find charming. I haven't played any of the newer games, but I hope to eventually.

My favorite would have to be A Wonderful Life, but again I've only played two games (the other one being Magical Melody. I liked it, but not as much as AWL).

My wife and I played the heck out of Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon for DS. Apparently they're calling that a spin off, but it's the same idea. I adored the game, but I was upset that I had to be a boy for the first half of the game.

Rune Factory is a spinoff.

It's Harvest Moon.. In fantasy RPG form!

..Though I can't see the similarity. It's just a fantasy RPG with farming and dating sim elements.

Meh, I liked it. I Turned on Harvest Moon 64 for a bit and I thought it seemed similar enough considering the time-span between them.

I used to play the heck out of Harvest Moon 64 as a kid, that game kept me entranced for hours. : D

I actually just picked up Harvest Moon DS and started playing it again last night, first time since like '06! I find HM games calming, personally - there's not really any pressure to do anything specific, which is atypical of a video game. I'm glad the series has garnered enough of an audience to continue making titles. Who knew so many people would find a game about *farming* to be so awesomely fun.

Funny. I was on a HM forum ranting about how mediocre DS and Cute are compared to the rest of the series.

It's so...So..

[Guest Samurai_Kid]

You mean the remake of Save The Homeland? Or the ports of BTN and BTN: FG?

Harvest Moon DS/Cute is actually my favorite game in the series! It has the best version of the gameplay system, in my opinion, and overall, it just seems to do all the little things right, which is very important in a game like this. I played the game for well over 150 hours, and then played Cute for about 100 more! I love the relaxing pace of the Harvest Moon series; a welcome departure from high-octane thrillfests that seem to crowd the industry today.
