Just did some digging, trying to find more details about HM Online (found nothing
), and found a new DS version of Harvest Moon set to come out in the next 2 or 3 months.
After getting back paid, stupid government based organisation, I was umming and ahhing about getting a DS (Mario Kart Pak with Animal Crossing) but this has almost pushed me over the edge. It sounds great.
The graphics are very close to HM:FoMT on the GBA, so close in fact that from what I can see they are the graphics from FoMT.
I can only assume that the gameplay will echo that of previous games with some added attractions using the touchable and duel screens to great effect. Maps, rucksack contents or other things being displayed on the lower screen while you walk about and do things on the upper. Conversation being on the lower as well. And my personal favourite marks a well deserved change to a system that only half made sense.
You used to be asked to pick up or talk to an animal to make it happy once a day - from shots I've seen this is no more. Now, you are asked to stroke them using the stylus. How sweet is that?
Does anyone have any more information or anything else to say?
EDIT: Ooops, I forgot. The animals in your care this time around include the regulars but the cat makes a return - and DUCKS make a debut. Odd? Yes. Interesting? Certainly!
