Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns release date announced

Summer time.

Nintendo DS and 3DS game Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns launches in Europe on 29th June 2012, Rising Star Games has announced.

The 3DS version of the Natsume and MarvelousAQL developed farming adventure hybrid uses StreetPass. When your console detects other 3DS players who own the game you'll receive a message and gift when you next boot up the game.

As an aspiring farmer, you'll have to choose from one of two feuding villages in which to ply your trade: Eastern-themed Konohana or European-themed Bluebell. In traditional franchise fashion, you'll then have to build yourself a home, tend to your crops, make some friends and hopefully figure out how to heal the rift between the two settlements.
