Wii and DS Harvest Moons out in Nov

By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 8 October, 2010

Namco Bandai joins the farm sim party.

Harvest Moon: Animal Parade for Wii and Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands for DS will be released this November.

Namco Bandai has joined forces with Rising Star Games to publish in Europe.

Animal Parade is the third title in the cute farm simulation released for the Wii. It's got a greater emphasis on raising animals, apparently.

"Players are tasked with bringing the harvest king back to the island to revive the earth, all while keeping the farm in top shape," reads the official blurb. "Use the Wii Remote as an axe, shovel, fishing rod, watering can and to milk animals, with the ability to ride every animal providing a fun diversion from the lush fields and paddocks."

Meanwhile, Sunshine Islands is the third in the series for the DS. You'll have to raise islands sunk by an earthquake and restore them to their former glory.

    Sunshine Islands is basically a DX version of Island of Happiness, except not shit.

    Tempt the Harvest King back to the island to make it fruitful once more? Sounds like The Wickerman. Hope there's some human sacrifice in there too.

    The screenshot of the enormous cat-cow is awesome.

    Still haven't started with Rune Factory. Sounds like I need to hurry up.

    Is that Rune Factory Frontier on the Wii you need to start? Just wondering if it's any good.

    Every year, the Code monkeys slip into a coma that erases the previous year from their minds. Each and every time they re-invent the same ole shit over again. It was great on the snes... Since then, Rune factory at least added a new idea to the mix... Who keeps buying them? And who buys this tripe on two consoles and crosses data between them?!

    I loved it once, but now it's bloated and disfigured from years of incestuous revamps.
