My most favourite series on Nintendo - I look forward to any they put out. I am still playiing HM:AWL now - timeless.

I assume they are talking a re-release of Magic Melody with Wii controls?

If they put the old Harvest Moon games (SNES & N64), that would be ace for ease of use.

I wouldn't be surprised if we learn more about this in the not too distant future. Harvest Moon Tree of Peace hits Japan this coming Thursday and Rune Factory 2 on DS is coming later this year...so RF Wii should hopefully be revealed at E3 next month.

And I agree, HM 64 on VC would be amazing since it never got a Euro release! Smilie

I haven't read the interview yet. Its just waiting there to be read. I love the Harvest Moon series so I sure do hope that they'll bring the SNES version to the VC.

Harvest Moon is one of my favorites series of Nintendo. Now with Rune Factory Wii and HM: Magical Melody, the collection will be complete, unless they release another one Smilie

Actually I own the N64 Harvest Moon, the GBA one (Friends of Mineral Town) and A Wonderful Life! I played them a lot, I'm just looking for something new Smilie

I can't wait to play the first Rune Factory in English on DS...I've tinkered with the Japanese edition and it seems like great fun! Smilie

I got mine from the US, along with an NTSC N64 ( and a few other games). Had to complete the collection. I even have an GBC version (forget which one).

The possibility of that game coming to the VC has completely evaded my mind.

I want that game badly, the VC was concieved for such titles, however to date there has not been one title released on the euro VC that never got a euro release, but hopefully that will change, it better had-

Mother/Earthbound
Mario RPG
SMB2 Lost Levels
Harvest Moon 64
Starfox 2 (never released)
DK 64

Ahh there are loads, and many are waiting for them like me, they must surely be on the way. I am confident they will come, the VC is still very much in it's infancy. LS

SMB2 Lost Levels and DK 64 both came to Europe...But I agree would be great additions. Lost Levels is coming to the Japanese VC soon (or was recently added, can't remember), so hopefully it'll be brought to the US/Europe.

Earthbound is a must as well, plus Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and the likes of Terranigma, Illusion of Time/Gaia and Soul Blazer!

Oops of course, Allstars evaded me as i had no need for it, and well DK is a game i never got a chance to play. That list is just games i want badly to own via the VC.
Chrono Trigger is a cert after they released Actraiser i reckon. LS

jesusraz 10.06.2007#10

Yeah, S-E has basically said 'no' to the original FF and DQ games...but since Actraiser's already hit all regions, there's no doubt its sequel and other 'non-FF/DQ games' will come along too.

Back on topic - the Wii really needs to build up its RPG roster as quickly as possible. With Harvest Moon: Tree of Peace now out in Japan (selling only ~15,000 on day one, though) and Rune Factory now confirmed, plus the S-E duo...things are looking initially positive.
