Harvest Moon Series: Ranch Store with its paper cutout characters just came out in Japan. Marvelous plans to expand the game beyond egg painting with downloadable content.
A vegetable themed expansion pack was announced as an add-on. Pick this up to play a watermelon juicing mini-game at the juice shop and to meet Potpourri, a new character. The 500 point ($5) expansion also adds a vegetable decor to the town. Marvelous plans to roll out more add-ons each month for 500 Wii Points a piece. Harvest Moon Series: Ranch Store usually costs 1,500 Wii Points ($15) putting it in the premium price category.
No plans have been announced for an international release, but Harvest Moon Series: Ranch Store appears to big to make only in Japan. Also, what Harvest Moon game has Natsume skipped?
