About this product

Product Information

Natsume's unusual series of farming games comes to Game Boy Advance with the release of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. As in previous titles, players can go about their day as they see fit, with the overall goal being to become profitable while planting and harvesting various crops or raising livestock. After a hard day's work overseeing the day-to-day operations of the farm, players can visit the city to talk with the locals, spend some time fishing in a nearby pond, or embark on various other side-quests and mini-games. Romance is also part of the series, and characters can eventually marry, have children, and own pets. Friends of Mineral Town also interfaces with the GameCube version of Harvest Moon: It's a Wonderful Life, allowing players access to specific events and other bonuses.

  • The Most "Harvest Moon" You Can Get

    [The cartridge came in perfect condition, right on time, and works perfectly! Absolutely worth the price!] If you're looking for the best handheld Harvest Moon game in the franchise, this is it - pretty graphics (accounting for the era of the game, of course), detailed and busy gameplay, all the classic romance and social structure, and the simplicity of the franchise that we've all come to adore. The major difference between "More Friends of Mineral Town" and "Friends of Mineral Town" is the sex of your character - in MFoMT, you're female and romance male bachelors, and in FoMT, you're male and romance female bachelorettes. Besides that, there are only minor differences in the overall impact of the game. How this game stands out in the franchise: Simple And In-Depth: Unlike more recent HM games, this one relies a lot on your ability to discover. From the shipping cost of items to learning how to eat food, this game does NOT give you all the answers right off the bat, but does a good job in getting you just far enough to figure it out yourself. Despite the challenge of discovery, the game features more simplistic chores. Mining is no longer the long, tedious and day-consuming task it usually is, fishing is no longer the anxietous quick-draw spectacle it usually is, and everyday farming tasks are without frills and excess difficulty. Everything is simple and meshes seamlessly... once you get the hang of it. Variety: Unlike other HM games, MFoMT offers a number of long-forgotten specialties. One in particular is the Basket. Besides your rucksack, players can purchase and carry a basket around to throw up to 30 items into, and then dump the contents of the basket into the shipping bin. This sort of bulk shipping method makes for speedier chores and much less monotonous running-around. This game also features a very large jumble of festivals with genuinely enjoyable prizes and mini-games to keep you interested. Good-Old GBA Charm: The game isn't up-to-date, sure. There's no 3D graphics, it's all pixelated with chiptune music, and there are a few bumpy translations... but the game ages swimmingly! The classic 90's anime-esque features of each character artwork mixes right in with the turn of the Harvest Moon westernized style, meaning the nostalgia never goes away but the game never gets old. When you get down to it, the game is a definitive shining star for the franchise. Highly recommended!

  • Great Repo

    Even though it’s not original, it’s still functions like the OEM game, childhood favorite and I love playing it again! My only and ONLY, complaint is the label is slightly off colored, which doesn’t affect its value in my opinion! Great game, shopping was fast! I plan on buying more!

  • A very good farming game

    The game is great for all ages. Harvest moon bring back memories of trying to get 100% done. If you have not played Harvest moon, I would go and buy the game. It has a story about a farmer that has to bring back an old farm to its proper condition. And make friends with the town of mineral.
