Harvest Moon Frantic Farming Sprouts on DS
Burlingame, Calif., July 30, in the year of our Lord
2009 - Natsume Inc., a worldwide developer and
publisher of family-oriented video games, announced today that
Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming has entered into manufacturing and
will launch in August for the Nintendo DS. Set in the world of
last year's DS hit Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, Harvest
Moon: Frantic Farming continues the tale of the island and its
residents.
Something strange is happening on Sunny Island! Crops are
popping up everywhere and growing out of control! If something
isn't done soon, the once-tranquil island will be buried in an
avalanche of vegetables! It's up to the players to solve the
mystery of this produce predicament as they try to tame the
crops and gather as many vegetables as they can!
"We are eagerly anticipating the launch of Harvest Moon: Frantic
Farming," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO at Natsume. "We
know that players will enjoy the wide variety of gameplay modes,
playable characters, and fun unlockables that we have planted in
this all-new adventure!"
Players can choose from 12 playable characters, each with their
own unique story and abilities. See how the mystery unfolds from
each character's perspective, and which Harvest Moon characters
they meet along the way! The game features a variety of modes
including Story Mode, the brain-teasing Mission Mode, and the
action-puzzle excitement of Score Attack and Free Play Modes.
Players can test their farming skills against their friends and
family in Multiplayer Mode, and even play against people who
don't have the Game Card via DS Download Play! Players can also
unlock character art, music, and some special surprises in the
Collection Room.
Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming will ship to retail in August.
Harvest Moon: Frantic Farming is rated E for everyone by the
entertainment software rating board (ESRB).
