Your farm, your island, your life! Bring a little peace and harmony
into your life this Christmas by becoming an island farmer in the
latest instalment of Harvest Moon, due to be released across
Europe on 12th December, 2008 on NintendoDS.
In Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, players find themselves
stranded on a deserted island, following a disaster at sea. From
there, they must start from nothing to build a new life. By growing
their own farm - taking care of their crops and raising animals -
players can make a fortune, find the love of their life, get married
and start a family.
The bright and colourful 3D graphics provide a visual feast,
creating a lush idyll where players can experience the excitement
and challenges of nurturing an expanding family, business and
community. The convenient enhanced Stylus Control System means that
even inexperienced farmers can take control and shape their destiny.
Players can control their character and perform farming actions such
as seeding, digging and watering by pointing the Stylus, in
combination with D-Pad and buttons.
There is the option of multiplayer action over Nintendo’s Wi-Fi
Connection, adding the opportunity to check your farm's world
ranking and compare it with others from around the globe.
On day one, players choose between a male or female character from
ten bachelors and bachelorettes. Joining you is the old timer Tarou,
his daughter Felena, and her two kids, Natalie and Eric. The island
offers some hints that it may have been inhabited in the past, but
it now seems to be deserted. Working with your fellow castaways,
your first order of business is to create a farm.
As you build up your farm, people move over to the island, opening
up shops and facilities, contributing to the island's development.
These new residents provide new areas to explore and new people to
speak with, creating an endless world of discovery.
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, the second Harvest Moon
release for NintendoDS which is published by Rising Star Games
and distributed by Nintendo arrives to Europe on 12th
December, 2008. |
