Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness comes to Nintendo DS
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Create your own island – live the life you want!
Your farm, your island, your life! Bring a little peace and harmony into your life this Christmas by becoming an island farmer in the latest instalment of Harvest Moon, released across Europe on 12 December, 2008 on Nintendo DS.
In Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness, players find themselves stranded on a deserted island, following a disaster at sea. From there, they must start from nothing to build a new life. By growing their own farm – taking care of their crops and raising animals – players can make a fortune, find the love of their life, get married and start a family.
