Natsume has announced 2 new Harvest Moon games due for Wii and DS this summer, and to be shown at this year's E3.
The Japanese developer will debuting their two new farming titles at this year's E3 Expo, introducing a whole host of new storylines and activities into the much-loved franchise.
The first game, Havest Moon: Animal Parade (Wii), tells the story of a divine tree that stood in a middle of a pond, and as it grows older its power is weakening and the animal folk have started to leave. The Harvest Goddess believes the land can be revived and it's up to you to find her ring 5 mystical bells to summon the Harvest King. You'll be cultivating crops, caring for wild animals (like penguins, monkeys and pandas), taking them for walks and performing tricks. Circus tricks can also be performed with a fellow ringmaster chum, and pictures of all your antics can be shared over WiiConnect24.
The DS game, Sunshine Islands, revolves around a set of islands that have sunk due to a powerful earthquake many years ago - islands are raised by using Sun Stones - and it's up to you to meet new animals and harvest new crops.
Both Harvest Moons are out later this year.
