Harvest Moon for the GCN lets you have a pet that is different than a dog this time.  You can have a turtle for example.  I love turtles so I am gonna have me a turtle for my pet.  I think you can have other animals instead of a dog, but the turtle is the only one I can remember.  Did I mention I love turtles?

A turtle?
Oooh, I'd be tempted to name it after one of the TMNT and try to train it to fight cyclones! *Thumbs up*

I do wish that Harvest Moon would allow you to choose to be a boy or girl though.  I'm used to being a boy in most games and really don't care.  But since in this one you're building a life and all it would be nice.  In FOMT when I'm walking around meeting cute girls who like me I just feel like a big scary butch chick or something.  

Oh well, maybe they'll think of it in the next one.  -__-

You wish has been granted.  Sort of.  There is a second version of both Harvest Moon games, the GCN and GBA version that you play as a girl, and it has been announced that both the girl versions will be coming out of Japan, but I don't remeber if a date was listed when I read the news.  From what I read, the games are pretty much the same, except you play as a girl and you go after boys and court them, just as in the original version you play as a boy and court the girls.  I hope this brings a smile to your face.

Billy Hatcher GET!

I went to EB and grabbed the $99 copy and said "uh another EB is selling this for $49 so can you price match it?", so the guy price matched it and i got it for $49! True story

And uh, things weren't very pretty in Target and Kmart on the GCN side. I had to search for the GCN games, and there was still like only 5 or 6 games, and they were crap, oh well. Oh yeah! The "playable" GCN in Target had a sign on it that said "Out of Oder", tee hee, out of oder. Ah, what a day.

I love turtles too!  I have one as a pet.  Had her for nearly 11 years and love her to death!  It's priceless when she swims to me when she is in the pond.  I think I'm gonna get HM!  And breed an army of turtles, which fly, and take over the world!  And Kaolla Su will be my wife!

Nitsu: That does bring a smile to my face.  It would be great if they had just made it a choice on the same disc.   I'm wondering if my son would be able to get into playing the girl game or not.  

Bill:  Well now's your chance to live out your Bridget fantasies.  Gender bending get! (Did I actually say get?)

akdaman:  Who says I have to get pregnant?  Maybe in my fake video game life I'll be single and childless.  I'll get a shack up boyfriend who'll help with the farm.  Maybe I won't even do that.  Maybe I'll just run around town and be a total slut.

Fun factoid of the day: My Animal Crossing character is a girl

I just love playing as female characters more than male characters...(though I think I'll avoid getting a boyfriend in HM...^_^'')

I just realised that im so excited about all these games coming up, and i have no money to buy them. Hurray!

You know I've bitched about the price of MGS: TTS being $110 and refusing to buy it for that amount on MSN.

2 discs GC games cost $110.  I've been wondering, is it the same with other games on other consoles in Australia?  Like, the FF games on PSone that came with 4 disc, were they more than $110?  I'm curious, b/c I don't see why 2 disc should be more than $100.  Heck, many PC games come with 2 discs or more, and they don't cost more (or the ones I buy).

Well MGS2 on PS2 was well over $100.. but that.. was one disk.. *jumps out window*

It's weird how MGS: TTS will retail for only $40 in the US, which is cheaper than your average game, while over here it will be more expensive than your average game, and thus Australia gets screwed YET AGAIN!

Final Fantasy 9 launched at $79.95 in Australia, a four disc game. The initial shipment also came bundled with a bonus disc featuring the Final Fantasy movie trailer, too. ;__; But then, every Konami game this generation that's on 2 discs or more has been $110. Konami are greedy bastards.

At least it beats the SNES days. Street Fighter 2 Turbo and Super Mario All-Stars were over $130 when they launched, true story.
