New details about Harvest Moon: Skytree Village have emerged from the game’s playable demo at E3. Read up on some information below, courtesy of Nintendo Life.

– Town has been in a downward spiral of sorts lately
– It was previously green and thriving, but it’s now taken on a somber tone
– The town has experienced an extended drought
– Ever-waning presence of the Harvest Goddess
– Play as a plucky local farmer
– Play as a male or female
– Restore the town’s seven Skytrees
– Bring back the Harvest Goddess through a combination of diligent farming, attentive animal husbandry, and item-based courtship
– Engine/style similar to The Lost Valley
– Terraforming your farm returns
– Natsume listened to feedback with the previous game
– Moved away from chibi character models
– Character models are conventionally proportioned
– Uses 3D character models instead of character portraits in dialogue scenes
– Terraforming now significantly faster and easier
– Can now work with more than one cube of earth at a time
– Hold down the ‘A’ button and the selection cursor will grow from one square, to three, to six, to nine, depending on how long you keep it held
– After choosing a size, you can move that selection as you like, and act on all selected tiles at once, either raising the earth or digging them down as a group
– The adjustable selection is also used for all your other tools in Skytree Village
– Tilling, planting, watering, and harvesting all benefit from the efficiency boost
– Expand the selection range as you upgrade your tools
– 2 new views
– There’s the standard 3rd-person free-camera perspective from The Lost Valley
– Also a faux-2D overhead view and a locked-in ‘Farming mode’
– Farming mode: variant of the overhead angle where your farmer will hold her stance and let you strafe along to water, till, or plant in tidy rows
– Press ‘Start’ to cycle through the three views
– At least six bachelors and bachelorettes
– Melanie: red-headed, hot-headed tsundere tailor
– She will turn your fur into fabric
– Jeanne: green-haired, bespectacled herbal doctor who’s brilliant and talented in her trade, but not very confident interacting with farmers of the opposite sex
– Elise: an outgoing blonde chef from out of town who’s written with a French accent
– Dean: buff florist; has a combo of tulip apron and boundless horticultural enthusiasm
– Gabriel: gentle, kindly livestock salesman who’s more at ease with animals than people
– Cyril: ponytailed aristocrat from far off lands who’s visiting Skytree Village as part of his grand tour

American Nintendo fans got a nice surprise last night when Rhythm Heaven Megamix was suddenly released on the eShop. European Nintendo fans, however, weren’t so lucky – the game is currently nowhere to be found on the eShop in Europe.

Nintendo of Europe just sent out a press release recapping the past two days at E3, and it also contained a tidbit about Rhythm Heaven Megamix (or Rhythm Paradise Megamix, as it’s called in Europe). The game will be released in Europe on October 21st – however, unlike in North America, the game is also getting a retail release in addition to being released on the eShop.

As we reported, a “Pokemon election” was recently held in Japan where people could vote on their favorite Pokemon – the winner of the election, Greninja, will be given away to those who buy tickets for the newest Pokemon movie, which premieres next month.

As with every election, there are winners and losers, and while Greninja won, Simisear lost. The 5th generation Pokemon received the fewest votes, meaning it placed #720. However, to “commemorate” its loss, Simisear will also be distributed in Japan, specifically at Pokemon Centers and Pokemon Stores from June 25th till July 15th.
