The official title for the new Nintendo DS version has been 
announced. The game will be called "Bokujou Monogatari: 
Korobokkuru Suteeshon" in Japan. The English translation for 
that would be "Harvest Moon: Sprite's Station" and refers to the 
Harvest Sprite's television station. The game takes place in 
Forgotten valley 100 years *after* A Wonderful Life takes place. 
I have no idea how the same characters can be around 100 years 
later, but I'm just the messanger not the developer :) It's 
possibly a mistranslation.


From Famitsu today (thanks to Harklan)

The Famitsu article is short and mentions that the Chicken 
Festival is new to this version of the game. There's even a 
screen shot of our favorite pink-haired chicken farmer, so that 
confirms that Popuri is in the new Harvest Moon DS game.


Until next time!
