It says 7/5/10 on the website. Is this true?

Says so on Gamestop website as well.
Looks like another company publishing it, not Natsume - Zoo Games. Anyone knows if they any good?

Is that so? I wonder if the contract finally dried up or if Natsume just passed this one up purposely.

People have had mixed opinions on this game from what I've seen. Most of the Ushians' main gripe is the characters aren't fleshed out enough and heart events aren't very romantic. I wouldn't know personally though, this is just hearsay.

I can say the same thing about Island of Happiness and Sunshine Islands.

I heard something about them but I don't know what it was. I will be glad if another company takes care of US release.

That's really weird. I though Natsume had the rights to the name Harvest Moon and that if another company were to publish a Harvest Moon game, they would be forced to use a different name. Maybe it's a joint effort, both Natsume and Zoo games doing a part in the localization.

Interesting. And the release date is a couple days before my birthday..so I might get it then. Maybe the game won't be pushed back a lot since Natsume's not localizing it?

>.>; It would be weird to see a Harvest Moon game published by a company other than Natsume.

What? Another company localizing it or the release date itself?

Gamestop as it listed as releasing on July 5th, 2010, so it is not the date. I believe that Cherubae finds it hard to believe another company is localizing a Harvest Moon game.

Well, HM is kind of popular, so it can't be that surprising. =O

But can they legally do that? Isn't HM still under Natsume's contract?

As far as we know it is, but we don't have an ear to the wall on what Marvelous is up to. As said a bit earlier the contract could have dried up for all we know, or they may be too busy with plans for another game to accept this one; Rune Factory 3 perhaps? All just hypothesis at this point.

Rune Factory is published by Rising Star, not only Natsume. So it may be legally possible?
