News: Natsume has released their newest iteration of the Harvest Moon franchise, exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS.
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley is now available on the Nintendo 3DS according to Natsume. In Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, players will have to discover why the Lost Valley is cursed in a perpetual winter. With the Harvest Goddess nowhere to be found, and the Harvest Sprites locked away, it's up to the player – an unlikely farmer who was caught unexpectedly in one of the Lost Valley’s fierce snowstorms – to discover the source of this curse, and bring the seasons back to the Lost Valley.
Plant crops, raise cows, chickens, and sheep, foster relationships with locals, and even woo a future spouse. Marry, have a child, and unlock the full potential of all seven Harvest Sprites, along with the Harvest Goddess and Harvest God – all inside a world where the land is customized by the player themselves.
"We’re very excited for players to dive into the next Harvest Moon game and see all the work that went into innovating, while also harkening back to the titles that made Harvest Moon fans fall in love with the series in the first place," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume, Inc. "Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley truly encompasses what fans have asked us for over the last 17 years, and we’re happy to provide a game tailored to them."
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley is available both in stores as well as in the Nintendo 3DS eShop for $29.99. Will you be picking this game up? Take a look at the launch trailer below and tell us what you think.
