Harvest Moon DS: Island of Happines

Another good game for NDS, and this is Harvest Moon! The USA version of the game was released at 26th August 2008. If you’re looking for the ROM, check romulation.net, your best bet for NDS Rom!

Anyway, what’s so different compared to other Harvest Moon games? I’ll just give a short review for this game because I haven’t play it long enough. Well, it’s for NDS, so we got 2 screens to see. Top screen is the map, where we can see all of our neighbours location. Pretty handy, for the first time I thought the icon in the map was showing their home, but I was wrong. You can track every person in the map. The touch screen of course is showing our character and we play most of time with this screen. We only can control the character with stylus and touch screen, no D-pad. Kinda annoying for me, but I get used to it anyway.

Now each crop has different quality. The higher the quality, we can get higher price. It depends on the weather and the maintenance. Pretty realistic I guess. Some people say that money is easier to get here. Yeah I think so, but in exchange there are more stuffs to buy, so it’s all the same.

The animals? Pretty much the same I guess. The storyline? This is a new story, not another boy/girl who get the farm from his/her grandfather or whatever. The character (we can chose boy/girl in the beginning of the game) got an accident and ended up in deserted island. In the beginning there were only few people there, and more people will join the fun eventually, one by one. That’s include the bachelors/bachelorettes that we can marry.

If you want to know more detailed information, tips and tricks about this game, I suggest you to visit www.fogu.com or I like to call it Ushi no Tane (Harvest Moon in japanese). The best site for Harvest Moon games information. To get directly to Island of Happiness part, go here.

And finally… for you cheaters, ehm, that’s including me of course, I got a good site that have codes for this game. Use it with your own risk. Using cheat will ruin the fun of the game. Have a nice play.
