Yeah, I'm well aware no one's here, hee hee. Just if anyone decides to stop by. Oh, and you DON'T know me.
Ushi no Tane reports on 6 April 2011:
"This morning, Natsume announced plans to localize Harvest Moon: Twin Villages for a release later this year. The English name will be Harvest Moon: A Tale of Two Towns and will be available for Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS. What new things might be included in an enhanced 3DS version? Well, that's up to Natsume to decide
Note that a specific DATE was not announced, just plans to have it available this year. The company will most likely fill us in with new information as the game gets closer to its unannounced release date. "
I've played this once before, and I believe you'll all enjoy it when it's released by Natsume. It's not like most other Harvest Moon games.
If you want to take a better look, or if you're playing it and want some help, go to Ushi no Tane ♥ They're pretty helpful (without them, I would've never known Tartan existed in A Wonderful Life; I NEVER go to Takakura's house)
About Harvest Moon: Tale of Two Towns
from The Harvest Moon wiki
" Konohana and Bluebell Villages were once great friends, despite their differences. They were connected by way of an underground tunnel through the mountain, and there were many people that passed through it each day. But there was one thing the two villages just couldn't agree on... FOOD! Yes, food. Their cooking styles were too different! This feud went on for a while until things got so bad that the tunnel connecting the two villages was closed off! Pick a village, build a farm from the ground up, win some cooking festivals to settle the differences of the villages and clear out the caved in tunnel! Only you can reunite the two villages once more! "
New Features
There are all new characters, besides:
- Pierre, Nathan, and Alisa from Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands
- The Ucho Brothers and Dirk from Grand Bazaar
- Of course, the Harvest Goddess
You can choose which village you live in: the Euroopean-styled farming town Bluebell or East Asian harvesting town Konohana.
You can use a waterwheel, which grows turnips and cabbages.
Now you can have Alpacas and honeybees
Brand new way of triggering heart events, related to a new courtship ritual - asking out on a date.
A new quest system
Marriageable Characters
Something that everyone wants to take into mind. There are two towns (hence the title) Bluebell and Konohana. We don't know if Natsume will keep those names are change them with the localization. Information from Ushi no Tane.
Here are the characters, and even though some are in the same row, doesn't mean they have something to do with each other, it's to save space. And most have blushy face because I chose the best looking of the pictures.
Bluebell Bachelors and Bachelorettes
♥ Ash/Arsh, Kamil, Lia/Ria, Raspberry
Konohana Bachelors and Bachelorettes
♥ Kirikou, Chihiro (yes, that can be a boy's name), Nana, Licorice
God-Knows-Where (travelers?)
♥ Sage, Michael
I am kindly refraining from showing you with Pierre pictures. He's there, but only for the Cooking Festival, he's not there for marrying you (*sniff*) Doctor Trent is by far my favourite of all games, but Pierre is second-best. My favorite here would probably be Michael, because I have a thing for glasses and smart guys.
I know no one's been here since February, but I kinda like doing this anyways. ♥
more to be put up soon (whether you see this or not). ♥
This was the same day that Ushi no Tane reported, but I guess that Joystiq knows that it's coming out this summer!
