Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns Arrives On Nintendo DS In September

Natsume have announced a release date for the Nintendo DS version of Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns. The game will be released on September 20th in North America. That’s a week prior to Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny.

 

The Tale of Two Towns lets you select which of its two towns you want to live in — Konohana or Bluebell. The two villages were once the friendliest of neighbours until a dispute erupted over…food. More specifically, an argument over whose cooking was better. As a result, the two villages are now bitter rivals.

 

You play as a new farmer (a girl or boy) and choose which village to start out in. Konohana is Eastern-styled with an abundant field of crops, while Bluebell is more European in setting and and focuses more on raising animals. It’ll be your job to eventually bring peace between the two villages again.

 

"Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns is one of the most unique Harvest Moon titles we’ve ever released!" says Maekawa-san, president of Natsume. "For the first time, players will get to choose what town they want to live in! There are also other great new features, such as the ability to raise adorable Alpacas!"

 

Speaking of Alpacas, pre-ordering The Tale of Two Towns nets you an Alpaca plushie. The game will also be released on the Nintendo 3DS, but a release date for this version hasn’t been announced yet.

    Hell yeah. Alpacas are awesome. Just like pangolins. Or whichever animal with a weird name, really.

      Ganbare! One month’s not long, you know. It’s just 720 hours of starvation.

    I wonder, even if you choose to live in Bluebell, will you be able to interact with the Konohana residents on a regular basis, or will they be like the Mineral Town boys and girls from the DS (& DS Cute) games?

    Hmm…I’ve got to give the edge to Bluebell when September comes around.

    I need to remember to go get mine pre-ordered~. As I was playing WakuAni the other day, I thought back on the other HMs and to ToTT and how it’d be nice to MMV did something similar again. Something more ToTT and kind of like AC:CF. 

    Really, really looking forward to that alpaca plush though. ;u;

    Wait, this on September as well!? Ugh, and Disgaea 4, Totori and Rune Factory Oceans are going to keep me busy for so long as well…

  • XxDestinyXx

    Hope I have the money by then.

  • Historiata

    If earthquakes, eruptions, and political wars don’t bring about the apocalypse…

    Surely it’ll be the result of gamers going TOTALLY broke. I wonder what future generations will call this cataclysmic September?

    On another note, cutesy looking game!
