This is one of the more popular Harvest Moons, right? No western release mentioned, but if they're bringing over the Doraemon crossover there's no way they won't bring this one too. Though as the article mentions, it'll probably be under the Story of Seasons name. I wonder if they'll even have to change the subtitle too.

how does this workk? if they cant use the Harvest Moon name, can they use the HM characters? That looks like Jack and all the same animal designs and Potpurri is theres too...

well however it works, I hope it comes here. FotM is my favorite of the series.

Marvelous has the copyright, but Natsume has trademarks on the HM name. The Natsume original HM games don't have any of the classic characters.

I don't know know if Natsume has the rights to the character names or not. (They're direct transliterations of the Japanese names, for the most part). Though Marvelous DID rename the Harvest Goddess in SoS, which kinda makes me nervous

A new Harvest Moon Game? Or well a remake at least? Sign me up!

Fuck Natsume for hoarding the name and ruining the series with crappy games after Animal Parade.

yeah I haven't liked any of the Story of Seasons OR the Harvest Moon games after the split. guess that's why Natsume is deciding to just re-release one of the top 10 HM games from the past. easier than producing new, quality games.

my top three is probably magical melody, hero of leaf valley, and animal parade. not in that order.

back to nature (also called friends of mineral town in the remakes) is pretty good, but it's hard for me to definitively say that it's top 5 when it's competing for the #4 and #5 slot against the original, sunshine islands and HM64.

I'm sure that it's top 10, so I say that. it might be top 5, but I wouldn't say it unless I was sure. it's definitely not top 3.

Natsume has nothing to do with this release though, they're the ones that do the fake Harvest Moon. This game is by Marvelous/Xseed.

or are they also doing some sort of remake of their own I don't know about?

Yeah that shit is so confusing. Also there are two separate video game companies named Natsume, which were originally the same company but now are totally distinct and that makes things even more confusing

haven't played it. went to look it up. wow. for some reason I overlooked this game and never really heard people talk about it. but it seems like there is a lot of stuff to it. guess I always assumed it was one of the more basic games, so I skipped it. I'm pretty curious to try it out now.

On one hand, BtN was my favorite HM game, and perhaps in my top-5 PS1 games.

On the other hand, the game's art style is totally lazy and nothing like the beautiful conversation portraits we had for the original.

I'm torn, but if it comes West I'll probably pick it up unless reviews just kill it.

Yeah, the later Harvest Moon/SoS games don't feel that good to me. And the post-split Natsume Harvest Moon games look like garbage. I don't like Stardew Valley either. When it comes to farming simulations the only thing I have left to count on is Rune Factory...

For my top Harvest Moon games FoMT is definitely one of the best, so the remake might be fun. My top three is probably that, HM64, and Islands of Happiness.

DS should be much better than it is. What really holds it back for me is how glitchy it is.

basically exactly this.

actually it's at the very top of my wish list and I was just gifted like 6 games on steam for my birthday, but somehow this was not one of them.

the creator of the original harvest moon had said that HM64 was the closest game to meeting his vision of what the game should be.

Man I really WISH back to nature was even close to as good as HM64, I bought it on psp, it would be great to have a good HM game on the go.

But really it's just a bad romhack of HM64 with bad loading times and a terrible town layout

Back to Nature has a great town layout, a far better menu system where you can actually pull your tools out without pausing the game and going into the menu. The tool upgrade system is better. Better festivals, better events, and better characters too. Mining isn't boring like in HM64, same with fishing. Way better crop selection. You can ACTUALLY cook, not just collect recipes making the kitchen actually useful.

Back to Nature is a rom hack of HM64?

The fuck?

The art style, perspective, controls, literally everything in Back to Nature is completely different (and better) compared to HM64.

Also for anyone who wants to play My Time at Portia, its coming out on Xbox Game Pass for console and PC today.
