Marvelous lost money on most of its Wii releases

19 Nov 2009 08:45:00 PST

Written by JC Fletcher
Pretty much everyone can guess why No More Heroes is being released again -- Marvelous needs money. During a Q&A presentation (PDF link, Japanese) about its fiscal Q2 2010 earnings, Marvelous boldly revealed that three out of its four 2009 Wii releases lost money, though it didn't sa...

Making Rare Items in Harvest Moon and Sunshine Islands

11 Nov 2009 07:09:00 PST

Written by castleenchanted@aol.com (Freyashawk)
It makes me sad to think of all the people who never even heard of 'Harvest Moon' and who never played a single game... Perhaps this will change gradually and they will become as famous as any Classic in literature. They certainly deserve to be.

For example, in Rune Factory 2, Turnips, always designated as a Spring Crop, became a Winter Crop. Pink Turnips instead were designated as the Spring Crop. Onions, traditionally a Summer Crop, became a Spring Crop. Potatoes, always associated in Harvest Moon with Spring, became an Autumn...

News: Wii-exclusive Harvest Moon dated

28 Aug 2009 07:10:00 PDT

The break from tradition stops there, however, as Tree of Tranquility settles into a familiar Harvest Moon rhythm: wake, farm, sleep, marry. And how you manage your time and split the duties to ensure a bountiful crop is paramount.

Review: Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness

22 Dec 2008 13:16:24 PST

Written by Luke Wallace
The Harvest Moon series has been around since 1997, and hasn't changed much since then. The concept of farming and raising animals is still the primary focus, with townsfolk to meet and rebuilding to do. Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness is one of the newest titles in the series, and is avail...

Opinion: Harvest Moon or Rune Factory 2?

15 Dec 2008 14:33:00 PST

Written by castleenchanted@aol.com (Freyashawk)
All Harvest Moon games have a plot and definite goals. For example, in Harvest Moon DS/Cute DS, your goal is to rescue all 101 Sprites. This is not necessary in order to enjoy the game, but it represents the same sort of 100% completion philosophy that appeals to players of Harvest Moon. You rea...

A Game that requires a minimum of 60 hours to play

30 Oct 2008 12:08:00 PDT

Written by castleenchanted@aol.com (Freyashawk)
For players who grumble that games are not worth the money spent on them because they can be completed in too short a time period, I would recommend almost any Harvest Moon game, but especially Rune Factory 2. 60 hours is the minimum amount of time needed in 'real life' to complete the game.

Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility Review

One could argue that I left Mississippi so that I'd never have to look at a farm again, but the joke's on me with Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility -- the first Wii entry in the Harvest Moon series. I can confidently say that this game is more fun than clearing fields with a tractor, but it sure ca...

Frankenreview: Valhalla Knights (PSP)

Valhalla Knights has a fantastic pitch. From the companies behind Technu and Harvest Moon, it's a 3D hack n' slash with hardcore RPG roots. You can customize up to 6 players in your party. You can play ad hoc with a friend. You can waste your life away for higher MP/HP. And you can actually transcen...
