Harvest Moon for Revolution? at House of Nintendo

Harvest moon developer Natsume recently told IGN that they're currently working on a project for the Nintendo Revolution. Few details were given, but it's not outrageous to assume it will be another Harvest Moon, as Natsume has worked on a few Harvest Moon's for Nintendo platforms.

Mildew, thriving in the warm and humid weather, has wiped out entire crops of some of the smaller vineyards, attacking not only the leaves, but in some cases even the grapes. While it's certainly terrible news for the producers themselves, what does it mean for [...] Read More
