This information comes from Natsume’s Facebook…
“Today we are revealing an exclusive to you, our most loyal fans. We are happy to announce Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns for the DS *and* 3DS coming later this year! Fill up your watering can and sharpen your hoe, because it’s time for an all-new farming adventure! More details to come in the near future, including some exciting news at E3.”
That’s the only news Natsume has shared about the game thus far, as far as I can tell. I don’t believe the company has even sent out an official press release and screenshots yet. We’ll post any additional news we find about the newest Harvest Moon title, but we may have to wait until E3…
