Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
Like with Paper Mario, I'm a long time fan of the Harvest Moon series as well. When this game was released earlier in Japan this year, I heard quite a lot about how good it was and all the kinds of customization that it allowed you to do, and the sales for it also went to back that up.
"It sold more copies in its first week than any other version of Harvest Moon since sales records were kept starting in 2002."
Some things like the giant crops do seem a bit out of place, but I'm sure that it will make up for it in other areas.
Also I just checked the Harvest Moon news at
Fogu and instead of early November, they're releasing the game early and have already started shipping out copies of the game. If you pre-order it
here on the official Natsume website before the 29th, then depending on which edition you buy you can either get a special
yak plushie or a big
cow plushie that comes along with it to celebrate Harvest Moon's 15th anniversary.
