publisher of family-oriented video games, announced today that
Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands for the Nintendo DS has shipped
to retail! It is available at an MSRP of $29.99, and is rated E
for Everyone by the ESRB.
In Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands, players rejoin all of the
beloved characters from Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, and
meet some new faces as well! Years ago, a powerful earthquake
struck the Sunshine Islands chain, and most of the islands sank
forever...or did they? It's up to the player to find the magical
Sun Stones and raise the sunken islands. As they do, they'll
meet new characters, harvest new crops, and befriend animals
such as ducks, monkeys, and badgers. Players will grow their
farm, care for animals, mine, fish, and compete in festivals in
their quest to restore the Sunshine Islands to their former
glory. With a little luck, they may even find true love and
start a family along the way.
"Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands is here just in time for the
holidays! You get to meet some great new characters, train your
pets in fun minigames, and grow a huge variety of crops. It's a
fantastic Harvest Moon experience!" said Hiro Maekawa, President
and CEO at Natsume."This is a great game for players of all
ages, whether they're loyal fans or brand new Harvest Moon
players!"

the escaped animals. Befriend the lion, giraffe, and
