Harvest Moon Coming to Wii

Natsume's Sr. Director of Operations, Graham Markay, stated that Harvest Moon will be coming to the Nintendo Wii. The game is still very early on in development and is scheduled for release sometime in 2007. Markay states that bringing the franchise to Wii was an "easy decision because the game's style of play is such a perfect fit with Nintendo Wii's controller". Markay couldn't give any more details because the game is so early in development that he doesn't even know much about the game itself. While he's not actually a developer working on the game, he did agree that Harvest Moon would benefit from Nintendo's WiiConnect24 service for new furniture and item downloads, but said that Natsume still doesn't plan to support online play in any games because they feel that online play is still a little too unstable.

The harvest moon series has seen a lot of releases on Nintendo systems, 3 of the titles appeared on Gamecube. This comes as a nice addition into our ever growing Wii library. 3rd party support looks to be top notch for the system. Embrace innovation. Wii will change the way games are played. Game on!
