Although it should hardly come as a surprise, Natsume has officially confirmed plans to release Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town on the Wii U Virtual Console. The original Friends of Mineral Town hit the North American eShop last June.

Natsume previously said in April that it had eight GBA games planned for the Wii U Virtual Console. Friends of Mineral Town and its sequel were practically shoo-ins once that statement was made.

Siliconera has shared another round of details for Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories. That includes a new comments from Natsume’s Graham Markay, who said that this title is intended to address criticisms that fans had with The Lost Valley.

Here’s a rundown of what Siliconera shares in its article:

“We heard what our fans had to say. We got compliments as well as criticisms. One of the main issues was probably a town. This returns to the fundamentals. Is there upgrades? Yes. Is there giving gifts? Yes. Are there a variety of bachelors and bachelorettes? Yes. This isn’t a sequel to The Lost Valley.” – Graham Markay, Vice President of Operations at Natsume

– Players arrive on a rustic farm that used to be in a striving town
– As you sow crops and care for cows, the farm thrives and the townsfolk begin to remember what their town is like
– Can visit residents in their homes
– Court five bachelors or bachelorettes
– Not a sequel to Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley
– This game has some familiar characters
– The Lost Valley’s clocksmith Andrea is in the game
– Luke from The Lost Valley is also a datable character
– A witch bachelorette and wizard bachelor were also added due to fan requests
