Natsume has announced their games being showcased at the E3 Media & Business Summit 2008.
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness (DS)
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness brings the largest portable Harvest
Moon experience ever to the Nintendo DS. Starting off with an
abandoned farm, a handful of seeds, and the determination to start a
new life, it's up to the player to develop a mysterious, abandoned
island into a bustling tropical paradise. By harvesting crops, raising
animals, and mining for precious gems, players will help the island
grow into a vibrant town filled with people, businesses, and eligible
bachelors and bachelorettes. Players can take on the role of a male or
a female, and choose who they want to fall in love and start a family
with. Players can also test their farming skills against each other
and compete for prizes via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility (Wii)
In Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility, players find themselves in a
troubled island town which once prospered with life and energy, but is
now in serious trouble. The mystical Mother Tree that once watched
over the island has disappeared, and the Harvest Goddess is nowhere to
be found! The island has lost its connection with nature and the
inhabitants don't know what to do - it's up to the player to save the
island! You must help to rebuild the island by tending to the earth,
befriending and raising animals, nurturing friendships, and creating a
family. Long-time Harvest Moon fans as well as new players will find
an exciting, involving storyline and plenty of activities including
cultivating crops, caring for animals, and participating in festivals.
All-new controls for the Nintendo Wii Remote give players the chance
to feel like they're really farming!
Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon (DS)
Rune Factory 2 is set several years after the first game. The evil
Sechs Empire has been defeated, and the Kingdom of Norad is once again
at peace. Things may not stay that way for long, however, as dark
premonitions foretell of dangers to come. It's up to player to
uncover the source of these premonitions and bring peace to the
kingdom once more. In a first for the Rune Factory series, the story
of Rune Factory 2 is multigenerational. Players begin the game as
Kyle, a strange man who comes to Alvarna Village. Eventually, players
will take on the role of Kyle's child, opening up a whole new
adventure. It's an innovative feature that allows players to follow
the story of their family and the townsfolk over two generations! Rune
Factory 2 offers innovative Touch Screen controls, easy-to-use menus,
and an all-new compelling storyline.
Princess Debut (DS)
In Princess Debut, players find themselves in a fantasy world where
they have 30 days to get ready for the big ball. They'll have to
master their dance moves and win over one of the six handsome,
charming princes to be their partner. They'll meet and woo the princes
through the game's large, branching storyline and exciting events.
Once the player convinces a prince to be their dancing partner, it's
time to go out on the dance floor! Players will use the Touch Screen
to guide their character gracefully across the dance floor while
matching their partner's rhythm. All of the dances in the game are
taken from motion-captured professional dancers, so the game is just
as impressive to watch as it is fun to play.
Hamtaro (DS)
Join Hamtaro and all his friends in a variety of fun and educational
brain-training games designed for elementary school children. Children
will develop their memory, word comprehension, math skill, and many
other abilities as they play through 12 engaging, interactive games.
Parents can monitor their child's growing abilities, adjust the
difficulty level to match their child's skills, and reward them with
special items. Hamtaro and his friends make learning fun!
Yumi's Odd Odyssey (PSP)
Yumi's Odd Odyssey is a fast-paced puzzle platformer for the PSP.
Trapped in a bizarre world filled with spikes, pitfalls, and giant,
hostile fish with nothing but her wits and her trusty rubber fishing
line, Yumi will have to run, jump, climb, and swing her way to
freedom. Yumi's fishing line isn't just handy for fending off fish--it
also works like a grappling hook, allowing Yumi to latch onto and
swing from just about any part of the environment. The game's advanced
physics allow players to pull off remarkable feats of grappling
acrobatics and find new, creative ways through the open-ended levels.
With its colorful graphics, wild worlds, and ingenious grappling
gameplay, Yumi's Odd Odyssey will have players hooked!
