Introduction
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness is, for many, the perfect mix of Magical Melody graphics, with DS gameplay and characters. Taking advantage of the DS's power, Marvelous takes Harvest Moon into the 3D world for the first time ever on a handheld system. Much like the GBC3 Version, you find yourself with the choice of being a boy or a girl, including a wide range of bachelors and bachelorettes to suit your tastes.
Upon crashing on an island with only a few other survivors, you must restore not only your farm, but the entire island back to its proper glory.
Features
Characters in the series
Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness marks the first time that the main Harvest Moon series has gone online. The Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection features include the ability to rank your farm against other players from around the world in weekly themed or all-time ratings. You can also conduct a voice chat session with up to three other players by using the telephone in your Harvest Moon house.

Mark travels to the island with an interest in farming. He wants to learn how to be a good farmer, and likes to observe you tackle your own farming challenges.

A livestock dealer, Vaughn travels to the island in order to supply Mirabelle with animals for her shop. He only appears inside her shop on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and hardly ever socializes with the other residents. Vaughn prefers to keep to himself and his business.
Elliot:
Elliot and his family washed up on the island the same day that you arrived. He helps his mom and grandfather take care of the island's exports. Elliot has determination and tries to act responsible, but the constant belittling from his younger sister, Natalie, has really damanged his self esteem.
Shea:
In the northern Jungle land of the island lives two native hunters. Shea and his fellow wild-man, Wada, live in a hut that protects a giant tower. Shea is aware of the delicate balance between hunting for food and being wasteful, and he will try to explain it to you over and over.
Denny:
This fisherman has traveled to the island with his bird, Kuu, in search of large fish. Denny keeps to the fisherman's code and spends every day out on the ocean trying to catch the big one.
Pierre:
This small-stature, cooking enthusiast travels to the island in search of rare and exotic cooking ingredients. Part of his gourmet man training is to locate such things, so he spend a lot of time outdoors looking around.
