gamrReview's Karl Koebke: "I’m a huge fan of Reccetear and a moderate fan of the Harvest Moon series, so HomeTown Story for the 3DS seems right up my alley. Directed by Yosuhiro Wada of Harvest Moon fame, along with Nobuo Uematsu making the music, this star studded title tells the story of a young man/woman who has just inherited their grandmother's store."
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."
