So, I just went onto that fogu site and randomly clicked #8, and I saw that it was a new HM game called Sunshine Islands! I think it's similar to IOH. I went on google and did some 'research' and found out that's it out in Japan, but not in the USA....yet.
Here's the site:

Here's some screenshots:

So, what do you guys think of it? Are you excited to play it? XD

I think I'll be getting Animal March before Sunshine Island, but it looks like a fun game. It doesn't look all that different from IOH, even with the minor changes. :3

Huh, I've never heard of animal march XD
Gosh, I am so behind Dx
I also heard this thing called "Harvest Moon: frantic farm" somewhere. I'll have to look that up, too XD
And yep, it's pretty much the same. Same characters, same heart events, etc. XD
But it looks a bit easier than IOH

sounds fun!!

let me try and see it..

I was planning on getting it for christmas, but then my DS broke yesterday...
I was going to marry will! (has a fettish for prince-like characters)

Will..huh?

Its supposed to come out soon so you may want to save up for it. You can also ask someone at any game store.

i want to get the game..

I did not play Island of Happiness due to the horrible controls and it's mainly because my DS touchscreen is slightly busted. XD

So quoting that article...

Quote:

Perhaps most importantly, Natsume has listened to the touch-screen-based complaints of the last DS game and enabled the main character to be controlled with the control pad as well, though touch-screen controls remain for those who prefer them.

I'm VERY glad they are letting us use the control pad! Now I will play it! Thanks, Fox, for the news.

I'm happy you can use control pads too! I was sort of stupid and skipped the walking tutorial so I spent like 5 minutes using the control pad trying to figure it out in IOH!(Thank god I was in my house!)

I saw this- and maybe I'm wrong but isn't Gwen from Magical Melody in it? I saw someone that looked like her. Will= adorable!!!! I love the prince like characters too- err, for the most part. I'm not really a Chase fan *ducks in cover from angry fangirls* I might marry Mark in IOH but my best guy friend is named Mark so.... kinda awkward....

I am getting Animal Parade first though (my parents have had it with my Harvest Moon obsession so they dont want to get me anymore games!) lol
