Harvest Moon Gets US Date

Until now, it wasn't clear to Harvest Moon fans whether the Nintendo DS version of Natsume's strangely addictive farming game would make it to North America. Today, however, the company announced that Harvest Moon DS will indeed arrive on these shores -- in spring of 2006.

Harvest Moon DS features characters from both Harvest Moon: Wonderful Life on the GameCube and the GBA's Friends of Mineral Town. The DS version, of course, takes advantage of the system's two screens, using one to display action and one for conversation, for instance.
