The latest edition of Famitsu magazine (#932) has a new article on
Bokujou Monogatari: Kimi to Sodatsu Shima. Famitsu reveals 4 new
characters for the game.

Marriage Candidate for boy: RIRI
She use to be a popular idol in the city, but she has since moved to
the island to mend a broken heart. She is bright and a little
selfish. Riri also has a taste for fishing.

ELZA
She is Goran's daughter. Her mother passed away when she was very
young. Elza is very energetic.

GORAN
The elderly, muscular man runs a shop where you can buy and upgrade
your tools.

Marriage Candidate for girl: VALTS
This "cool" guy looks a lot like Gray, and even has USI stamped on
his belt buckle. He opens up an animal shop with creatures from
another country. Valts prefers solitude and likes to be alone. At
first he is not very talkative but you can warm up to him and he'll
eventually become marriageable.

The article also shows a few images of different areas on the island,
such as the mine and mountain summit.

The game is still scheduled for a December release in Japan.
Hopefully MMV doesn't rush to make it's anticipated release date and
bypass the QA testing in the process.

River King DS was playable at the Tokyo Game Show, but it was only
30% complete. Lets hope Marvelous doesn't rush this one as well, as
it has been moved to "winter 2006" from fall.

Until next time!

- What did the cow say when she saw her child's messy room?
-- "Where you born in a barn!?"
