Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year’s! Its certainly been chilly here in the Southwest lately! I wanted to take a minute to catch you up on the recent events here at the store and a little about the newest Harvest Moon.
Let’s start with the game, of course! I’ve been playing Harvest Moon: A New Beginning lately on my 3DS and I have to say I love it! If you’ve never played a Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game before they’re a RPG life/farm simulation game with many different options of what you can do. With this newest title I haven’t found one thing I haven’t liked yet, and I’m not all that far into the game either!
Following your coming of age you take on the family farm in a hardly there town called Echo Village that is taking a turn for the worse with people moving out. Your job is to revitalize the town while you work on your farm. As always there are available bachelors/bachelorettes to choose. Not only are there two new animals, the yak and llama, and two new crops, cactus and cotton, but all the good options from all the other games you loved are in this one or improved! I could rant on and on about it but if you’ve been a fan, or wondered if they’re any good the answer is a solid YES!
For more information check out the Wikia, Youtube, or shoot me a question!
For the store we’re getting pumped for moving down next to Baggin’s in early March to expand the store! Look for more details as it gets a little closer but I can tell you the stuff I’ve heard sounds awesome!
We’re also working on our 2013 Camp details and we’d love to hear from you, the parents and kids. Here’s a few of the new things that’s on our minds.
Having 3 different full day camps available
- 7-13 Gamer
- 14-18 Design
Sorry I can’t give much more details then that, but we’re still in the planning stages. I’m really excited about the Beginner class and we’d love to do it, do you think you’d be interested in it if we had one?
We’d love to hear from you and we want to host a parent get-together or maybe even do something at schools if there was enough interest. Give us a shout and grab a cup of Hot Cocoa from Tazzina di Gelato if you’re in the area, its delicious trust me.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf Details
New release information out today on the newest title in the Animal Crossing series says it will be here in North America in the first half of 2013. I don’t know about you folks but I’ve been waiting for this title since I was first following the 3DS. Of course like most people I was hoping they were going to have Animal Crossing as one of their release titles… but I digress.
New video out today is even in English instead of Kanji woo hoo! Feast your eyes on this beauty.
Who wouldn’t want to be a mayor of their own town?! It does make me wonder where the dear tortoise got to though. And be sure to watch the whole video, K.K. is rocking some new music.
With all the customization available this is sure to be something great to play. Here’s hoping its sooner rather than later in 2013!
