It’s odd seeing Japan getting a game later than us, isn’t it?! Japan is only receiving a different boxart than North America/Europe.

Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny coming to North America
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
This information comes from Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume…
“We know our loyal fans have been patiently awaiting news of a North American release for Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, so we are thrilled to announce that the latest entry in the fan-favorite series is on its way. Better still, this entry is coming to both the Wii and PlayStation 3. Featuring a vast region to explore, a wonderful cast of characters, and a huge variety of activities to enjoy, Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny is sure to make waves!”
As soon as Natsume said they would be unveiling a “highly anticipated” Wii/PS3 title, I’m sure everyone pretty much knew the announcement would be Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny (otherwise known as Rune Factory: Oceans). In any case, it’s nice to have a confirmation. The title will be playable at E3 next month and will launch later this year.

Events
Equestrian – Set in Greenwich Park. You have to hold the Remote and its side and move up and down as if they were reins to speed up. You’ll need to slow down and angle your Remote to steer around corners before galloping up to a fence and leaping over it.
Canoeing – Set in Eton Dorney. A circle appears on screen and you have to hold the Remote in a vertical position and make a paddle motion just as the Circle disappears. Repeat this action to get to the finish line.
