August 31, 2005

Honestly there really hasn't been any new HM information in quite 
some time. At the beginning of July there was a new version of 
the iMode Harvest Moon game released for cel phones, but you have 
to live in Japan in order to play it. Doesn't do the rest of us 
any good, now does it?

On the other hand, Weekly Famitsu magazine is now reporting that 
the PSP version of Harvest Moon is scheduled to be released in 
Japan on November 23rd. The game will be called "Bokujyou 
Monogatari Harvest Moon Boy and Girl". Perhaps you finally get a 
chance to select your gender like in "Harvest Moon Boy MEETS 
Girl", which came out in Japan 5 years ago. I really don't know 
yet since today is the first I've heard of it. I'm sure we'll 
hear more information about the new PSP version in the next few 
weeks. You also could select your gender in Songs of Happiness 
but that is a Gamecube game (which still does not have an English 
release date).

More Friends of Mineral Town still hasn't been released in the 
PAL Region. It is expected to be released by Rising Star sometime 
in October. 

There's still no new updates from Marvelous about the Wifi 
enabled version of Harvest Moon.


Until next time!
