Fans of the Harvest Moon series will soon see that they're tilling
familiar soil with the Nintendo DS version. Setting up your farmstead
while maintaining relationships with the local honeys puts forward hours
of challenges for you. Luckily, the Harvest Sprites can help you on a
day-to-day basis.
As you perform tasks in the game, you discover a Harvest Sprite once you
hit certain benchmarks (such as chopping so much wood or cutting so much
grass). Once you discover a Harvest Sprite, you can visit their tree--a
home the Keebler elves would envy. There, you can request that a group
of Harvest Sprites help you with some duties, whether it's watering your
crops or helping you with your stamina.
They don't work for free, though. You need to give them medals. You can
buy medals or earn them by beating the house in a poker minigame. Hey,
Harvest Sprites love their table games.
Whether you're farming, wooing, mining or building, you'll need to move
fast. Time really flies once you're out and about in the sun. When you
are inside buildings or the mine, time will stop so that you can get
your work done.
Harvest Moon DS is scheduled for release in September 2006. Check back
