Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is launching on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, according to Nintendo’s website.

Earlier in the week, the game was rated by the ESRB. It was a strong sign that the classic game would soon be getting a re-release on the eShop.

The ESRB rating for Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town has been updated with an additional platform.
Unsurprisingly, that system is Wii U.

Natsume has a whole bunch of GBA games lined up for the Wii U Virtual Console, and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town should be one of them. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if this was one of the Virtual Console titles in North America this week.

Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories isn’t the only new title Natsume is planning for Wii U. Today, the company announced that “Ninja Strike” is also in development for the platform (presumably via the eShop).

Here’s the official overview:

Run, fly, and slash enemies to get the stolen treasures back! Be sure to check out this high-speed, action-packed, side-scrolling title in Natsume’s Ninja series! Whether you go with strength or triple jumping, there is a ninja for you! Choose from 5 different ninjas, each with their own special characteristics. You’ll face much more than just run-of-the-mill henchmen! Use your hard-earned coins to level up a variety of skills that will help you get further and make you tougher! Pick the skills that best fit your playing style! How far can you go?

Natsume previously brought Ninja Strike to iOS. On Wii U, this appears to be a completely brand new game, though we’ve attached an image from the mobile version above.

Ninja Strike will be featured at E3 2015 later this month.

Update: Bumped to the top. The official announcement is in, and we have the first details.

Here’s the full overview:

Go back to the roots of Harvest Moon in the latest installment of the series! Inspired by the old-school gameplay of the very first games, Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories will bring players a sense of nostalgia, along with exciting gameplay twists.

Tasked with the job of revitalizing a farm, players will need to befriend the villagers in town to unlock the titular “Seeds of Memories”! Seeds can be unlocked in many ways, such as giving a villager their favorite item, catching a giant fish, or by raising their first cow. Players will need to be up to the challenge of collecting all of the Seeds of Memories!

Old favorites return in the animal department with cows, sheep, and chickens, along with a horse to ride, and a dog to keep as a pet! Farmers will also have a new pet to take care of, but it isn’t what they’d expect… It’s a bobcat! The bobcat starts out wild, but as players befriend the animal, can they convince the bobcat to become their loyal friend?

Featuring cooking, fishing, foraging, and mining, players will need to upgrade their tools to find the highest-quality items. Players will also be able to participate in contests and festivals like the Cooking Contest and Starry Night Festival! Woo one of the ten marriage candidates – 5 bachelors and 5 bachelorettes – and find that special someone to make their farming life complete!

Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories launches this winter.

Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories is in development for Wii U, Natsume has announced. The game will also be released for PC and mobile platforms.

Natsume made today’s announcement on Twitter. Actual gameplay details are unknown at present.

Harvest Moon: Seed of Memories will be the first entry in the Harvest Moon series for Wii U. Last year, Natsume made Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley for 3DS.
