Natsume Brings Harvest Moon to 3DS, DS
Fans of the long-running farming sim can rejoice, as Harvest Moon charms its way onto two platforms at the same time.
Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns features two villages that used to be on very good terms but became fierce rivals– all because of argument over which town had the best food! Eastern-styled Konohana exclusively grows crops, while European-styled Bluebell loves raising livestock. The player has the difficult choice of picking one village to live in and create a successful farm. If the main character plays his cards right, he might just bring the towns back into good standing with each other.
To quote from the press release:
“We wanted to ensure that all of our loyal Harvest Moon fans would have a chance to play this game. No matter which version they pick up, they’re sure to love the great new cast of characters, the fun festivals, and the exciting new gameplay mechanics.”
Interestingly, A Tale of Two Towns will be released simultaneously on 3DS and DS, meaning that those who are cautious about committing to the new handheld will still be able to get their farming fix. The differences between the two versions aren’t clear, but more details should arise before this game hits store shelves in the summer.

Australian Club Nintendo Receives SNES Controller
Australian Club Nintendo members get a noticeable edge on North American ones by obtaining the coveted SNES Classic Controller, compatible with Wii. Currently, one of the only ways to procure it outside of Japan is to win an eBay auction– at a huge premium, of course.
This beloved gem of a reward will set Australians back 3000 Stars. You can bet that this will quickly become a hot-ticket item. We hope Nintendo brings this gamepad to North America’s Club Nintendo as soon as possible.
