PAL regions this week are the first to get Harvest Moon on SNES. We’ve included a video of the game for nostalgia’s sake or so you can see if it’s for you. This week’s new game info:
Harvest Moon (priced 800 Wii Points = €8 / £6 / AU$12) for the Super Nintendo, was published in the United States by Natsume and in Europe by Nintendo in 1997, and was the first installment of the Harvest Moon series that combines simulation with role-playing.
The gameplay consists of daily farmer tasks, and strategically using your time wisely for the best outcome in the end. The player takes on the role of a young farmer whose parents left him in charge of his late grandfather’s farm. Over two and a half years, the player must develop the decrepit, weed-choked farm into a money-maker, and, if able, get married and have children. At the game’s end, the player is evaluated on a number of factors to determine his success or failure. Do your best!
