Natsume is gearing up for the upcoming Fall release of Hometown Story. The game is being developed by the creator of the Harvest Moon series, Yasuhiro Wada, featuring art by the renowned Pokemon artist Atsuko Nishida and a score from the legendary Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu. With an all-star cast of industry talent, hopes are running high for this 3DS life-simulation title formerly known as “Project Happiness”.
Global gaming publisher Rising Star Games and Mindscape, a game and software distributor, have announced they will be partnering up to bring two Rising Star Games’ titles to Australia and New Zealand.

Expanding your shop and the town it serves is undeniably satisfying, but sadly, it's nowhere near fun enough to hold your interest for the long term. Considering that numerous Harvest Moon games and spinoffs are available on the system and virtual console, not to mention Animal Crossing: New Leaf, turning up with Wada's name on the credits just isn't enough."
