Hooray!

The return of another franchise that allows you to fill your leisure time with a simulation of all the inescapable drudgery, grind and repetitiveness of real life. Mortgage, gardening, shopping, grooming...I'll display this proudly next to Animal Crossing and Nintendogs.

;)

I'll be getting a Wii, but this series ran out of ideas after it's first incarnation.

You'll swing the Wii's remote like a hoe to plough fields, or tilt it towards the ground to use the watering can. You'll also wave the remote about to fish and to look after your animals. The d-pad will be used to switch tools, and by pressing down you can deactivate them - to avoid any risk of flooding your farm or hacking it to bits.

In my opinion this does not seem to be innovation encouraged by the hardware, but a game having to shoehorn its gameplay to fit the hardware. Which is what I feared when the details of the controller were announced publicly.

bunglebonce, you make no sense.

Harvest Moon has always been about hacking, plowing, fishing, feeding, etc. The use of the Wiimote will make that more intuitive for (currently) non-gamers, and more imersive for everyone. The gameplay is not shoehorned or changed in any way.

Harvest Moon is a great series and it is great to see how the wiimote and the touch screen on DS can keep the series fresher. Even if they have 'run out of ideas'

I am looking forward to the first Harvest Moon DS game but lets hope they are a bit more adventurous with the graphics for the second one.

I know, but is there really a "right" way to use a watering can? Do we really need it simulated in 3D?

Fishing might be fun, but digging stuff doesn't sound like it involves any skill at all, and is a waste of the new controller.
