Cheesus Rice! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif) ; They are killing us Westerns with these new games that we won't see for another 5 years.

(Oh and I just made that up a second ago.) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Any Scans or anything?

[Nurse Fin]

All that's known about it/confirmed so far is the title, it was just listed at the back of the magazine where they index upcoming game titles and release dates...

My guess is that the first real scans will be in next week's issue.

[Jason]

Could "Farm Store" could be a bad title/tagline for Wind Bazaar? Those famitsu people are always playing jokes with our minds. >.>

I'll wait a week before I make any official announcements. ;3 The RS mailbox usually gets flooded with questions we can't answer when we announce these kinds of things.

Thanks as always Nurse Fin. ;]

牧場物語シリーズ まきばのおみせ　Wii "Harvest Moon: Farm Store?" Wii game... "Famitsu" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

I'll have to go with Jason's reaction. Holy nuts.

[Jason]

That'd be funny if the english title for "Farm store" was "Ranch Store"...just one letter away from "Ranch Story". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Yay to all new characters.

This info was found on IGN:

March 4, 2009 - The Harvest Moon series is seeing some big changes for its debut on WiiWare. Unveiled in this week's Famitsu is Bokujou Monogatari Series: Makiba no Omise. The Japanese speak can be roughly translated to Harvest Moon Series: Ranch Store.

As hinted at by the "series" in the title, this one is a bit different from past Harvest Moon games. While you can look forward to the farming and animal care of past titles, the focus this time is on shop management.

After selecting to play as either a boy or a girl, you create your very own shop and attempt to make it a success. You can create a variety of different shops, designing the interior and exterior to your liking. The game even lets you take a picture of your shop and send it out to friends on the Wii Message Board.

The magazine provides a look at three of the shops that you can open up in the game: a juice shop, where you turn your fruits and vegetables into juice, an ice cream parlor, where you turn freshly milked milk into soft cream, and an Easter egg shop, where you use eggs from your chickens along with stickers and paint that you've unlocked elsewhere in the game to create Easter eggs. The juice and ice cream are all made via mini games.

Harvest Moon fans have a lot of look forward to with this title. Characters from past Harvest Moon games will appear at your shop in the form of customers. By correctly taking their orders, you may be able to establish a strong relationship with them.

As with most WiiWare games, although it's just being announced, this new Harvest Moon title is almost at hand. Japan will get the game on April 28 at 1,500 Wii Points.

Hmmm. So it's not a full-fledged new game but a spinoff. It actually seems interesting (different) and it's nice and cheap. >.>

I've been looking everywhere for these aforementioned scans, but can't find anything anywhere yet. famitsu's website will probably update with something soon...

IGN's WiiWare Harvest Moon crops would be awesome? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalasad.gif)

March 5th really sleep? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-iia.png)

I See....Ranch Store?

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Beautiful paper cut out graphics. Well, at least Maria's there.

[Harvest]

Sleep... Japan? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-iia.png)

[Charmy]

I have to admit, I find it a little strange with them looking like paper pictures.
But the main characters look absolutely adorable! And.... Even younger -_-'

Yaay, Maria's properly on the site and has a little heart in her profile. Wonder if that means... Oh. The site's also been updated with a whole slew of new characters I don't care about and probably new information too if anyone hasn't been checking.

[Lenyo]

Not sure if this has been pointed out. But am I the only one who sees Celia there?

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Yeah, there's another topic about this game where she's mentioned... sometimes multiple topics are confusing. Maybe I'll look over them all again to merge.

[Kozunai]

Am I the only one to find it odd that in Celia's character picture you see Muffy's Son from AWL?
