Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley has been in development for quite awhile. Graham Markay, vice-president of operations, told Siliconera that the company’s new office in Tokyo has been working on the game since early 2013.

Markay also confirmed that Yasuhiro Wada is not involved with The Lost Valley’s development. Wada is the creator of Harvest Moon, and worked with Natsume on Hometown Story.

Natsume will be announcing a total of three Nintendo titles by the end of E3 2014. One of these games, as we found out today, is Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley.

The Lost Valley is a 3DS title, but Natsume has something in store for Wii U as well. The publisher teased a “treat” for Nintendo’s console – which we know will be revealed in just a few days.

Chocobo Racing 3D was one of the first projects announced for 3DS. Sadly, we finally received confirmation last year that the game had been cancelled.

Chocobo Racing 3D’s end seems to have come about – at least partially – because Square Enix wasn’t pleased with its quality.

A rough translation of comments made by Square Enix’s Shinji Hashimoto at the Thailand Comic Con last month reads:

When we checked the quality of the game, we did not satisfy. (so it was cancelled.)
If we would develop it for console, we think it should be a game for adults.(The target of Chocobo series is children.)

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

While the company isn’t a position to reveal any information, Natsume did say on Twitter that it’s confident of a European release.

Natsume’s tweet states:
