DESCRIPTION

Well cultivated on previous Nintendo systems, Natsume's Harvest Moon series takes root on Wii for the first time with Tree of Tranquility. As in most other games in the farming-RPG series, players begin by taking over a run-down homestead with great potential, but this game's old farm is on an enchanted island that's lost its magic. The Mother Tree that once gave life to the island seems to have withered away. Where crops once flourished, the land is now rough and dry.

The game makes use of the Wii Remote for many farmstead actions. Different tools, such as rakes, shovels, and watering cans, can be "equipped." Tools are used by mimicking their real-life motions with the controller. It's up to the player's character to bring life back to the island — one plot at a time, and one friendship at a time. By bringing nurture and hard work back to the farm, and helping neighbors to do the same, the magic may yet be returned to the island. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

“Well first of all, you can play as long as you want without even following the story and not worry about any pesky time limits. Everything's gravy so far, although the main character's stamina is simply pathetic.”

“I would hope that the stamina increases either through effort or items :3 I'm'a gonna have to get onna those Wii things one of these days.. especially once MH3 makes it stateside. I just wish the NA release of Fatal Frame 4 hadn't been canned ;___;”

“Yeah, there's a certain item you can find to boost your stamina.

Haha, I mostly use my Wii to play Ecco and Sonic 3...”

mnightwind was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“So kinda like the heart berry things from FoMT, word :3 I liked that system better than having to use accessories and only having the boost while wearing the item.

I can understand that, I'd probably be all over playing some Link to the Past or Super Metroid X3”

“Yup, you find them randomly from doing certain actions. So far, I've only gotten one and I'm almost at year two.”

“I'm pretty sure there's one at the bottom of the mine as well, unless that's the one you're talking about.”

demonx2d was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“Nah, I happened to get mine from randomly fishing. I was happy, to say the least. :D

I've yet to find the time or patience to get to the bottom of the mine, especially since I just discovered the Gelato Mine. ”

“I don't get it. I have a hammer, an axe, and a sickle. Why do I have to befriend the bear?”

created 12/SEP/2009

“to lure it into a false sense of security and have it get close enough to kill it with the axe and skin it wit the sickle?”

demonx2d was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“I wish! Instead, I have to keep leaving it gifts until it lets me through. Just once, I'd like a Harvest Moon with at least a T rating. :P”

“I'd like to see a harvest moon that have a "Animal crossing like" online feature.. much like a MMOFG (Farming Game). Maybe it is just me, but that might add an insane amount of depth in the franchise.”

demonx2d was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@Linked713 Yeah, I would enjoy that too, assuming it doesn't offer visitors the freedom that AC provides them. I don't want visitors to my farm sickling my garden as "a joke." They can look, but can't touch!”

“I've played with a friend of mine which lives in vancouver on AC on DS.. we were close =). But things changed when we lost contact /cries”

wastelander75 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“i wouldn't mind seeing a trading option if they do an online version. Trade golden egg laying chickens, a pony, puppies, probably even rare items some players may not find, etc. ”

“FEAR DAH GOLDEN CARROOOOTZZZZ ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!”

demonx2d was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“@wastelander75 That's not a bad idea, except that there are a lot of items that are hard to find because they're task requirements. I guess if it were actually a trading post, where you exchange items, it wouldn't be so bad. However, an "auction house" style thing, it would kinda rob the game of its challenge. :P”

wastelander75 was the last to comment - over 3 years ago...

“yuh. trading would be good. go into the city and meet online players in a sort of Guild Warsy way, trade them via a thrid party trading post (to prevent exploits and people taking your money items etc etc)

I mean I can see the many possibilities with this. Specific livestock, maybe some exotic "captures" in the woods, extra materials, maybe even trade dogs. Don't like your dalmation looking mutt? trade it in for someone with a german sheperd looking dog. Don't like the color of your horse? trade it in for a different one.

and on and on and on. ”

“Yeah, that would be great. It doesn't need to be completely online, just something simple like what you suggested. ”
