Well today is the day Magical Melody for Gamecube should be shipping and available 
in North America. Canadians may have to wait a few more days, but it is coming as 
well ;) For those of you in the UK, the game is listed on play.com with a July 01 
release date. If all goes well you won't have to wait for very long.

The new River King: A Wonderful Journey should also be out floating around in the 
US, even though Europe has had their copies since last December. The game is only 
$20 plus taxes. I have had to put off working on the HMDS page for a bit so I can 
finish up the RK PS2 fan site, which you can find at http://www.fogu.com/rk4. It's not 
done yet of course, but it should be completed within the next few weeks. Then it's 
back to work on the HMDS page, which I plan to have available around the beginning 
of June.

In Rune Factory news (even though it's not a "true" Harvest Moon game), the official 
site was updated a bit ago with some new information. Along with the girl named Mist 
who helps you out, there is a girl named Rosette who is a rival of sorts, and the 
mayor's sickly daughter named Fill. MMV also uploaded a few new screen shots for 
you to see on the site. The game still doesn't have a fixed release data in Japan.

Innocent Life, the PSP HM-hybrid game, is set to be released in Japan on April 27. 
Marvelous has uploaded the IL television commercial to the web site. There isn't any 
information on an English release yet.

Until next time!
