Topic: Harvest Moon Delayes

[Berny]

I hope this isn't old new for everyone, but when I checked my email and IGN sent me a list of news from my Watched Games, there was an article that said that Harvest Moon was delayed. Possibly til 2004. I think they said it was because of sales. This is BAD news for me cause I already preordered it. I swear, if this ends up not coming to the States.... I was really looking forward to this. I was going to get it on Friday so I'd have a WHOLE weekend to fart around with it. I guess SC2 can keep me entertained for a while.

Ah, news to me. That sucks... I didn't preorder a copy but I was looking forward to it. This reminds me of the rant I just read over at Penny-Arcade.com about the "weak pre-order/game shortage or delayage dilemma."

I always used to figure you could skip pre-ordering and then just show up early at the store and the guys I know at Gamestop usually keep a few "free" copies behind the counter that are up for grabs first-come first-serve. Actually, it's not always a few. The other day I called the store up and asked if they had SC2 for Gamecube and the guy said yeah, 1 copy left. Naturally, when I got there there was at least a dozen. I was gonna buy it anyway but that's rotten business... but I guess it's also kinda funny.

no! this is a good piece of news more time to save some money

Is it out in Japan already?
How did its sales go?

I think the delay might be due to the delays it got in Japan, plus translations too.

hopefully this isnt delayed too far into next year- i want to play it before the big rpgs on the gamecube start to show up- such as tales of symphonia, baten kaitos, and even giftpia

Yeah me too. Now it's been changed on PGC's release list too. Crap, I've already forgotten the actual date they posted, but I think it was Jan 1 or 7. They look so much alike.

They said the earliest would be December and the latest is January.  This was the game I wanted most for the rest of the year.

My games list for next year has grown now.
At least i can save money for games now!
It will probably reach Australia like late Jan or something.

[Infernal Monkey]

Heh, more like late January... 2027.

Remember, we never got Harvest Moon 64 released here, I have a feeling Natsume will blow us off once again.

You're in luck because some sites have already confirmed that Ubi Soft, not Natsume, will release the game in Europe.
